Global demand for military wearable computers to grow by 5.85 percent

Global demand for military computers will grow by one-third over the next five years, from $7.9 billion in 2018 to $10.5 billion in 2023, predict analysts at market researcher ASD Media BV in Amsterdam. Militaries around the globe are focusing on deploying more portable and technologically advanced computers in war zones. Ruggedness of military devices such as laptops, handhelds, and wearables is necessary to survive and function properly in extreme conditions such as extreme heat and cold. Military demand for wearable computers, meanwhile, is expected to show healthy growth over the next five years.
