Military Wearables Set to Double

⊲ Research and Markets ⊳ A new Research and Markets report values the global military wearables market at USD 5.45 billion in 2025, forecasting USD 13.18 billion by 2036 at an 8.3% annual growth rate. Soldier modernisation programmes such as Germany’s IdZ-ES and the US Army’s Soldier Borne Mission Command are driving demand, alongside night vision, mixed reality and health monitoring. Weight and power remain obstacles, with soldier feedback on weight, form factor and nausea leading the US Army to cut planned IVAS 1.2 procurement from 3,162 systems to zero and redirecting funding toward SBMC.
◂ With software forecast to outgrow hardware, over-the-air updates could let training scenarios and mission software reach soldiers through the same delivery channel. ▸
