The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the demand for enhanced connectivity, advanced command and control systems, and an increased emphasis on network security.

The 5g in defense market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.05 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 69.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the deployment of unmanned systems, improvements in battlefield surveillance, secure communication solutions for military personnel, and interoperability with legacy systems. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass enhanced situational awareness through augmented reality, heightened cybersecurity measures for 5G networks, collaboration with private 5G network providers, and the integration of 5G-enabled training and simulation capabilities.

The anticipated surge in 5G adoption within the defense sector is driven by the escalating utilization of autonomous systems and interconnected devices. These encompass self-operating technologies and interconnected hardware facilitating communication and data exchange. Their integration amplifies defense capabilities by leveraging 5G's high-speed, low-latency attributes, enabling swift data transmission, real-time decision-making, and synchronized operations. For instance, Ericsson's September 2022 report revealed a global IoT connection count of 13.2 billion, projected to soar by 18% to 34.7 billion by 2028. This projected increase underscores the pivotal role of autonomous systems and connected devices in propelling 5G within the defense domain.

The noticeable uptick in defense spending among emerging economies significantly fuels the expansion of the 5G in the defense market. Military spending encompasses the financial resources allocated by a nation toward building and sustaining its armed forces, including various defense-related activities such as operations, technological advancements, weapon procurement, armored vehicles, and military research and development. Heightened defense budgets play a pivotal role in driving progress and investments in 5G technology tailored for defense applications. This surge enables the enhancement of communication, connectivity, and data transfer speeds crucial for modern military operations and network-reliant defense systems. For instance, the April 2023 report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) indicated a real-term increase of 3.7% in global military expenditure in 2022, reaching a record high of $2240 billion. This escalation in defense spending worldwide underscores the driving force behind the ongoing advancement of 5G technology within the defense sector.

Key industry players are engaging in strategic collaborations to pioneer novel technologies tailored for the defense sector. These companies are specifically honing their focus on the development of sought-after technologies such as 5G New Radio (NR) and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), which hold significant demand within the 5G defense market. For example, in February 2021, Leonardo, a prominent Italy-based entity specializing in aerospace, defense, and security, joined forces with O2, a UK-based telecommunications service provider, in a partnership aimed at exploring the utilization of 5G private networks within the defense and security domain. Leonardo's innovation and technology incubator center in Scotland will collaborate with O2 to underscore the advantages of 5G technology. O2, in turn, plans to provide a secure 5G private network alongside various Industry 4.0 applications for assessment purposes. Additionally, the Norwegian military is actively experimenting with 5G technologies, executing advanced demonstration programs such as the 5G-VINNI project. This initiative focuses on integrating and testing robust speech and data systems within the defense segment. Notably, many of these endeavors involve partnerships with commercial stakeholders and companies, emphasizing the collaborative nature of these innovative pursuits within the industry.

Leading companies within the 5G defense market are prioritizing product innovation, particularly in the realm of real-time mobile data access, to cater to the evolving needs of the industry. Real-time mobile data access empowers instantaneous retrieval and interaction with data using mobile devices, revolutionizing operational efficiency. An illustration of this innovation is seen in Getac Technology Corporation's October 2023 launch of 5G rugged devices customized for defense, first responders, and resource industries in Australia and New Zealand. This lineup includes the V110 fully rugged laptop, S410 semi-rugged laptop, F110 fully rugged tablet, and UX10 fully rugged tablet, all equipped with swift 5G connectivity and designed to endure challenging field environments. These devices are purpose-built to facilitate immediate mobile data retrieval, enabling tasks such as digital evidence collection, asset and component management, examination of technical diagrams and infrastructure maps, as well as efficient reporting. They support remote workers by ensuring connectivity and data accessibility, conducting site surveys, offering precise GPS and mapping capabilities, documenting initial on-site events, enabling mobile command functions, and delivering real-time situational awareness. This product line's emphasis on real-time mobile data access marks a significant advancement in enhancing operational effectiveness within the defense sector.
