By End-user, the Army segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

In the defense logistics market, the army segment encompasses three distinct military supply chains. The first involves the swift transfer of light commodities like food, medicine, and uniforms. The second pertains to the transportation and maintenance of major weapon systems over an extended timeframe. Lastly, the deployment chain necessitates the rapid movement of large troop contingents within a short time span. Enhancing supply chain efficiency can be achieved through digitalization of inventories, employing advanced technology for real-time monitoring of movement, repair, and maintenance, and outsourcing supply and repair/maintenance services to capitalize on the burgeoning market potential. Approximately 85% of all military material is transported via commercial means.

By Solution, Military infrastructure  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

The global defense logistics market encompasses a range of permanent and temporary installations essential for combat operations and inland command centers. These installations include barracks, airfields, military bases, secure communication facilities, warehousing space, and maintenance stations. To optimize infrastructure performance and enhance security, military organizations are integrating advanced technologies, such as network-centric warfare communication. This technology enables real-time transportation of vast information to the battlefield, necessitating infrastructure expansion, including higher bandwidth and increased battlefield visibility based on user numbers per base. The market's growth is fueled by significant defense spending in emerging countries, like India and Saudi Arabia, for infrastructure modernization, as well as collaborative efforts.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The North American region, led predominantly by the United States, has been the world's largest military spender since the turn of the century, accounting for approximately 40% of global defense expenditures in 2021. With the US economy representing nearly 35% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), its defense budget, which is the largest in the world, reflects this economic dominance. Notably, the US defense spending has continued to increase, with the government approving a USD32 billion defense budget for the fiscal year 2022, up from the previous year. However, the region's military spending growth is projected to remain flat during the forecast period due to the US military drawdown from Iraq in 2011.
