Global Military Exoskeleton Market: Overview

Increasing concern for safety has made the defense sector focus on wearable robotics with their soldiers all around the world. In the defense applications, particularly wearable robotics, exoskeleton systems are the key area of interest. These suits provide soldiers with a supplementary power to lift hefty loads and move quickly in the battleground. In addition, the altering concept of warfare has resulted in the development of biological weapons that can be harmful to the human body. In order to prevent direct contact with the biological elements, armies all around the world are extensively investing in military exoskeletons.

Global Military Exoskeleton Market: Growth Factors

The military exoskeletons can avoid direct contact with harmful biological elements such as gases. This is the major factor boosting the demand of exoskeleton suits on a global level. Moreover, the necessity for swift coordination during warfare has resulted in the high demand of advanced communication systems, which are difficult to track by the enemy. Thus, it is a must to integrated the soldier suits with these electronics including optronics, radios, range finders, and navigation systems. On the other hand, integrating these electronics results in increased overall weight of suits, making it complicated to move swiftly for the soldiers.

Developing of lightweight exoskeletons will considerably reduce the weight and provide benefits to the soldiers by boosting their mobility. These factors are anticipated to propel the military exoskeletons demand significantly in the near future. Nevertheless, the high price of exoskeletons in the market is a major factor hindering the growth of the global market. A single exoskeleton suit can cost up to $150,000.

Key Insights

• As per the analysis shared by our research analyst, the global Military Exoskeleton Market is estimated to grow annually at a CAGR of around 13.60% over the forecast period (2024-2032).
• In terms of revenue, the global Military Exoskeleton Market size was valued at around USD 142.6 Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 449.2 Million by 2032.
• Based on the type, Partial body exoskeletons, encompassing upper and lower limb systems, are the leading segment in the military exoskeleton market. Their dominance is attributed to their targeted support for specific body parts, enhancing soldiers' mobility and endurance, especially during tasks like lifting heavy equipment. These exoskeletons are lighter, more cost-effective, and less complex than full-body systems, making them ideal for enhancing soldier performance in combat and operational environments.
• Based on the power, Active exoskeletons, which utilize powered systems such as motors and sensors, hold the largest market share. Their ability to provide powered assistance improves mobility, strength, and endurance for soldiers, reducing fatigue and enabling the carrying of heavier loads. These features make them highly effective in military operations.
• Based on the region, The North America is the dominant regional market for military exoskeletons, accounting for a significant share of the global market. This dominance is due to high defense expenditure in the U.S., which is the largest developer and spender on defense technologies. The presence of major exoskeleton manufacturers and continuous investment in R&D contribute to the region's leading position.
