The Global Military Wearables Market Size reached US$ 4.53 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 6.10 billion by 2032, growing with a CAGR of 3.80% during the forecast period 2025-2032.The global military wearables market is growing due to rising defense modernization programs and increasing demand for advanced soldier systems. Governments are investing in technologies that improve communication, safety, and battlefield awareness. Wearables such as smart textiles, health monitoring devices, and exoskeletons help enhance soldier performance and reduce fatigue. The use of AI, IoT, and data analytics in wearable devices is making them more effective in real-time decision-making. In addition, rising geopolitical tensions and the need for better mobility and survivability are pushing defense forces worldwide to adopt modern wearable solutions, driving steady market growth.

  -Recent development in US Market:- The U.S. Army awarded Anduril Industries a contract US$ 159 million for a prototype under the Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) program. This is a follow-on to the IVAS (Integrated Visual Augmentation System) project, with headsets, glasses, and companion wearables like watches included.

  -Recent Develoopment in Japan Market:- The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) adopted a remote health monitoring system called REMONY by MEDIROM’s subsidiary MOTHER Labs, including a smart tracker called the MOTHER Bracelet. It monitors vitals like heart rate, body temperature, steps, sleep, etc., and is recharge-free (uses body/ambient heat) for continuous use. This was deployed in the 8th Division.

Recent Development in 2025-

  -In August 2025, Wearable Devices Ltd. announced it was developing a novel neural interface system for military use. Using their proprietary, AI-powered technology, this system would allow soldiers to use gestures to control tactical systems, thereby increasing the speed and safety of operations. 

  -In 2025, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) started the BEST program, which assesses wearable, automated technologies that can predict wound infection in service members before it occurs and is designed to reduce the impact of injury. The program seeks researchers to develop novel bioelectronic, smart bandages designed with wound infection detection and treatment capabilities. 

  -JFD Global has developed a new medical monitoring system for Naval Special Response Teams (NSRTs), through a wearable device that will monitor vital indicators that can include heart rate, stress, fatigue, core temperature, or whatever is best. It will utilize a tiered system of wearable devices, diagnostic devices like basic ECG or ultrasound, but eventually with advanced critical care equipment for monitoring unstable or deteriorating casualties. 

  -In May 2025, Meta and defense tech startup Anduril announced a partnership to develop a high-tech helmet called EagleEye for U.S. soldiers. The helmet integrates augmented reality and AI software to enhance battlefield awareness, communication, and decision-making capabilities. This collaboration marks Meta's significant shift into defense work, leveraging its AI models and VR technologies.
