Thursday 19 January 2012, Amsterdam

The new market analysis indicates that the soldier modernisation market will reach a value of 804.2 million dollars in 2012. Militaries around the world are investing in soldier modernisation programmes with the aim of ensuring dismounted infantry are both operationally effective and fully integrated into the modern, digital, battlefield. Recent experiences, most notably in Afghanistan and Iraq, have demonstrated the continued vital role that dismounted infantry play by capturing and holding ground, a factor especially vital in contemporary counterinsurgency operations.

The author of The Soldier Modernisation Market 2012-2022 report commented that “Soldier modernisation programmes and products are increasingly prevalent, with some large scale deployment of equipment suites already in progress. Whilst programmes at present are largely confined to NATO member states, by the end of the decade ambitious soldier modernisation programmes embarked upon by the likes of China, India and Russia will be well underway. This will result in a fast-growing, dynamic and truly global market with manifold opportunities for investors.”
