Global Military Lighting Market Outlook: Technologies, Trends & Opportunities
Global military lighting market is projected to witness a CAGR of 5.85% during the forecast period 2025–2032, growing from USD 0.57 billion in 2024 to USD 0.90 billion in 2032. The global military lighting market is experiencing robust expansion due to the increased modernization of defense programs and the necessity of providing reliable performance lighting across land, air, and naval platforms. The rapid adoption of advanced LED technologies is fundamentally changing the military lighting market through improvements in energy savings, increased life span, and improved durability when exposed to conditions that exist in extreme combat environments. Areas of growth are expected across air platform cockpit lighting and strobe/hazard/landing lights, naval vessel illumination or lighting systems, and portable LED lighting for ground troops across tactical operations to support mission effectiveness, especially with stealth capability or night vision compatible lighting solutions. Rising geopolitical tensions combined with upward trends in the adoption of smart lighting or integrated information technology systems with IoT capabilities, will further enhance situational awareness on the battlefield, will further fuel the growth of military lighting systems. As military operations become further technologically advanced and sophisticated to achieve mission success, the military lighting market is expected to positively benefit those initiatives to enable the performance soldiers, and light and effective force employment and growth should continue in the core areas despite trends of focus on energy savings and adaptive lighting principles which are creating new opportunities in military lighting market.
