The latest report by IMARC, titled “5G in Defense Market Report by Communication Infrastructure (Small Cell, Macro Cell, Radio Access Network (RAN)), Core Network Technology (Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Fog Computing (FC), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)), Network Type (Enhanced Mobile Broadband (EMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), Massive Machine Type Communications (MMTC)), Chipset (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Chipset, Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Chipset, Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Chipset), Platform (Land, Naval, Airborne), and Region 2025-2033”, finds that the global 5G in defense market size reached USD 2,338.6 Million in 2024. 5G, or the fifth-generation wireless, is the latest iteration of cellular technology, designed to exponentially increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks. It consists of various networks, such as massive machine type communication (MMTC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The employment of 5G networks in the defense sector has advanced the surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and processing, developed new methods of command and control (C2), and modernized logistics operations for improved efficiency. It also aids in the faster transmission of videos and photos to achieve real-time battlefield results. 5G in the defense sector has gained momentum as it offers improved network capacity, ultra-low latency, uniform user experience, increased reliability, and high-speed data.

Global 5G in Defense Market Trends:

One of the primary factors driving the market is the increasing utilization of the 5G network in radars to detect and track numerous targets, and the rising number of cross-border and territorial conflicts. 5G network is adopted to provide enemy infantry and real-time operation information in dangerous, inconvenient, and remote areas. In addition, the rapid growth in the defense infrastructure and widespread adoption of autonomous defense vehicles and robots in the defense sector is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, 5G services are significantly being adopted in augmented reality (AR) to efficiently maintain vehicles, gadgets, and equipment to train military personnel, which is creating a positive market outlook. Besides this, numerous technological upgrades, including the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), which assists in the communication between multiple sensors and connected devices and facilitates high-speed data connectivity, are propelling the market growth. Apart from this, governments of various nations are taking initiatives to support 5G technology to provide reliable, secure, and agile safety to their civilians. On account of these factors, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach USD 42,556.2 Million by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 36.14% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
