The global military embedded system market is predicted to reach USD 16.75 billion in 2024 and USD 22.84 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.
An embedded system is a computer hardware system that can function independently or as part of a larger system. When used in defense and military applications, it is called an embedded military system. An Embedded system consists of several components, such as multifunction I/O cards, rugged systems, single-card computers, and general-purpose graphics processing units. An embedded system is a microcontroller-based system that is created to perform real-time analysis and other related tasks. Embedded military systems are used in a variety of applications like intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, communications equipment, command and control systems, computers, data storage devices, and acquisition equipment of data.
The extensive use of multi-core technologies and the emergence of a modern warfare system such as the network-centric warfare system, electronic warfare. The use of cloud computing and wireless technologies that stimulate the market also increased throughout the period. The military embedded systems market is expected to stimulate factors such as standard commercial hardware, single-board computers, programmable logic, bootloaders, cores, real-time operating systems, device drivers, and communication and bus protocols.
On the other hand, demand in national developing markets like India, China and Russia, where economic growth is not recovering and the effects of oil prices and western approvals affect the bottom line, causing lower sales of embedded systems.
