Airborne Simulation segment is projected as the most lucrative segments

Increase in territorial conflicts worldwide

In recent years, numerous nations have been witnessing increased risks of wars and conflicts. The recent political upheaval that happened in Afghanistan in August 2021 has brought the country in a permanent state of chaos. Moreover, rise in terrorist attacks and violent conflicts in the country is expected to lead to more unfavorable situations across neighboring nations.  Furthermore, numerous wars and minor conflicts are ongoing in several countries globally, most of which are in the Middle East, Northwest Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, nations across the world are investing in simulation and training technologies to train the military force for upcoming possible threats. Thus, all these factors are anticipated to propel the growth of the global small arms market during the forecast period

Rise in defense expenditure

The global defense expenditure has seen exponential growth in recent years. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the global military expenditure has reached $1,981 billion in 2020 with a 2.6% year-on-year increase. To modernize the defense forces to tackle the rise in threats of wars and other internal conflicts, many nations are continuously increasing their defense spending to purchase and manufacture advanced security solutions. The military expenditure accounted for 2.4% of the global gross domestic product in 2020. Thus, increase in global military expenditure has augmented the adoption of simulation and training technology. Furthermore, advancements of weapons and attacking capabilities worldwide have fostered the demand for modernization and installation of sophisticated defense infrastructure by governments to be prepared for any unprecedented threats and offensive attacks from foreign countries. Militaries across the globe are investing in the simulation and training solutions for effective operations of advanced security systems and handle the activities. Hence, increase in defense expenditure is expected to open new avenues for the growth of the military simulation and training market during the forecast period

Contracts and agreements with military forces

Military agencies are the key consumers of simulation and training solutions & services. Procurement activities of these simulation and training solutions are planned by considering the budget allocations and security severity. The commencement of the simulation and training solutions is likely to be carried out through long-term agreements and contracts between defense department and solution suppliers of simulation and training solutions. These agreements mention a set of requirements that must be met in a certain timeframe. These contracts and agreements are associated with long-term business opportunities with these military agencies as well. Thus, market participants need to focus on winning the contracts and agreements to gain a competitive advantage in the global market.

COVID-19 impact analysis 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global military simulation and training market, owing to commute restrictions, and is expected to weaken the financial performance of the market players in 2020. It has impacted the overall economy, and contributors such as market participants are formulating strategic cost-saving plans. The major risk factors of the military simulation and training market participants are regulatory & policy changes, dependency on labor, working capital management, and liquidity & solvency management. Majority of the developing facilities of military simulation and training have been shut down during the pandemic due to commute restrictions, workforce unavailability, and supply chain disturbance.
