Simulation market to hit $6.36 billion by 2022

LONDON, 25 July 2014. The global military training and simulation market is set to take a slight dip over the next decade from $6.74 billion in 2013 to $6.36 billion in 2022 as military spending continues to shrink, say analysts at market researcher Frost & Sullivan in London.

The global military training and simulation market is trending stable to slightly downward due to the sequestration on the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) budget since early 2013. As the U.S. accounts for 68.4 percent of the world's total military training and simulation market, its progressive decline has led to an overall negative compound annual growth rate for 2013-2022, analysts say.
