The global military communications market is expected to grow from US$ 35.15 billion in 2019 to US$ 41.71 billion by 2025, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of about 4% during the estimated period from 2020 to 2025.
Military communication can be expressed as the transmission of information from reconnaissance units and other units in contact with the enemy. It involves the transmission of messages, orders and reports both on the ground and at sea and between headquarters and distant installations or vessels. It relates to all aspects associated with the communication of information and data by the armed forces for effective military operation, command and control. It generally depends on a large and complex network of communication equipment and protocols for transmitting information between people and regions. It plays a vital role in the security, economic and scientific capacities of several countries of the world.
The increase in the acquisition of military communication solutions due to the growing conflicts between the countries of the world, the ever-increasing concerns related to the security of military communications and the need to modernize and replace obsolete equipment are the main factors that lead the global military communications market.

Drivers and Market Restraints:
Drivers:
Growing concerns related to the security of communications is the main factor driving the global military communications market. The growing volume of IP-based data, such as situational awareness video and remote sensor data, transmitted through standard interfaces, makes advanced data network security necessary. In addition, securing military satellites against cyber-attacks has become increasingly crucial, as terrestrial, air and space cyber resources are vulnerable to various threats. Since military communication data and network infrastructure are essential, security breaches can also jeopardize the safety of citizens. To avoid this, the defense sector adopts secure military communication solutions.
Restraints:
The interoperability of communications and collaboration between different services or defense agencies is a critical problem. Interoperability improves the ability of the forces of different nations to work effectively in a synchronized manner. Spectrum allocation, rapidly evolving technologies, the changing nature of operations and inadequate financing add to the interoperability problems in military communications. The use of similar communication equipment on a global scale may be a solution, but it is not feasible. Ongoing operations in military communications must be scalable to meet the growing demand for communications services. This is achieved through adaptive communication that ensures that the changing requirements of various operating environments are encountered. For end-to-end secure communications, secure communication interoperability protocols (SCIPs) are the next-generation standard for interoperability. Many IP-based network interoperability solutions have also been introduced, and their adoption is expected to increase during the forecast period.
