Military Connectors Market worth $2.28 billion by 2030 - Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The military connectors market is expected to reach USD 2.28 billion by 2030, from USD 2.05 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 2.1% according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™. The growth of the military connectors market is primarily driven by the need for rugged connectors that support electronic systems in mission-critical and tactical environments, such as in combat platforms, aircraft, and ships. Additionally, military forces are facing more asymmetric threats, which necessitates reliable communication. As a result, high-performance connectors are increasingly used in communications and surveillance systems. Military modernization initiatives are also being implemented worldwide, emphasizing the need for stable interconnects in command centers, electronic warfare, and unmanned systems.

The military connectors market in the rectangular segment is expanding at the highest rate due to its greater contact density, modularity, and compact size. Rectangular connectors are used in advanced military systems because they combine multiple signals, power, and data lines into a single unit, reducing cable and system complexity. These connectors are especially suitable for avionics, radar, ground vehicles, and deployable communications equipment. Their flat profile and stacked design allow for better packaging in limited spaces. Newer rectangular connectors are designed with improved sealing, EMI shielding, and lighter weight to meet evolving battlefield needs. As militaries adopt smaller and smarter electronics, rectangular connectors are becoming more popular among system integrators and OEMs due to their flexibility, scalability, and durability in tough environments. Based on the point of sale, the aftermarket segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. The aftermarket segment is expected to lead the military connectors industry due to increasing demand for maintenance, upgrades, and replacement parts for existing defense platforms. Connectors exposed to harsh environments like extreme temperatures, vibration, and humidity tend to wear out over time and need reliable aftermarket support. As most countries extend the operational lives of their aircraft, navy vessels, and vehicles, there is a higher demand for rugged replacement connectors that meet evolving defense standards. This industry also supports retrofit projects where older platforms are being upgraded with new electronics that require updated interfaces. Inquiry Before Buying: Asia Pacific is expected to be the second-largest market for military connectors during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific region is expected to become the second-largest market for military connectors, driven by increasing defense budgets, ongoing fleet modernization, and a growing demand for rugged interconnects. Countries such as India, Japan, and South Korea are actively upgrading their ground vehicles, aircraft, naval systems, and unmanned platforms, relying on high-speed connectors for power, signal, and data transmission. The region is also investing heavily in radar technology and autonomous systems. Local governments are promoting domestic manufacturing and collaboration to develop military-grade connectors. Moreover, Asia Pacific's rugged environment and climate necessitate durable connectors with effective sealing and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. Additionally, there is a rising demand for defense-related dual-use applications, including aerospace and industrial robotics, fueling market growth. ITT Inc. (US), Smiths Group Plc (US), Weald Electronics Ltd (England), Fischer Connectors SA (Switzerland), Allied Connectors (India), Ray Service, a.s. (Czech Republic), Rojone Pty Ltd (Australia), Omnetics Connector Corp. (US), Conesys (US), Milnec Interconnect Systems (US), Eaton (Ireland), Turck, Inc. (Germany), Glenair, Inc (US), and Winchester Interconnect (US) are the key players in the military connectors companies. These companies have strong distribution networks across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.

China's ‘telepathy' radio could make combat units invisible for electronic warfare edge
Since they debuted in World War I, military radios have played a vital role in sending strategic messages via electromagnetic waves, but it has always been a deadly game of hide-and-seek. The devices present a dilemma: crucial communication at the risk of simultaneously broadcasting the location of their users to adversaries, exposing forces to interception, jamming and missile strikes. But the cat-and-mouse game may soon be over. Chinese researchers have claimed a breakthrough that enables high-speed battlefield communication while ensuring the units sending signals remain in absolute radio silence. One expert, who described the communication technology as 'telepathy', said it could potentially make People's Liberation Army combat units invisible in electronic warfare. Led by senior engineer Liu Kaiyu with the Aerospace Information Research Institute, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team detailed the innovation in a paper in the peer-reviewed Journal of Radars on June 24. Liu's team developed a system that allows tanks, warships or aircraft to send vast amounts of data without emitting any active signals.

Kerala tourist board pokes fun at stranded British F-35 fighter jet
The F-35B Lightning can fly at 1.6 times the speed of sound, suppress enemy radar with electronic warfare systems and shoot other fighter jets out of the sky using guided missiles and a 25mm cannon. One thing Britain's most advanced warplane cannot seem to do, though, is take off from an Indian airfield. 'Kerala, the destination you'll never want to leave,' the state's tourist board has joked after one of the jets broke down at Thiruvananthapuram international airport last month. The Royal Navy aircraft has been marooned there for nearly three weeks after bad weather forced it to make an emergency landing during a routine flight from HMS Prince of Wales. It then developed an engineering problem that prevented it from returning to the aircraft carrier, which has been operating in southeast Asian waters with Nato allies. After an assessment by the carrier's engineers, it was decided that support from specialists in the UK was needed to get the F-35 airborne again. No forecast has been given by the Ministry of Defence on when the repairs will be finished, and British military personnel have been deployed to guard the £89 million jet. The saga has prompted Kerala Tourism to poke fun at the situation with a fake five-star review of the southwestern region of India, as if it had been written by the stranded warplane. 'Kerala is such an amazing place, I don't want to leave. Definitely recommend,' the spoof review by the user 'UK F-35B' said on the tourist board's social media pages. A member of India's Central Industrial Security Force is reported to have also been guarding the solitary aircraft, over concerns that its technological secrets may be vulnerable. Although India has a strong relationship with the UK, it also has close ties with Russia. The aircraft has so far been left out in the open on the tarmac of the civilian airport but is due to be moved to a space in the maintenance repair and overhaul facility hangar when specialist equipment and UK engineering teams arrive. A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: 'We are working to repair the UK F-35B at Thiruvananthapuram international airport as quickly as possible. We thank the Indian authorities for their continued support.'
