Middle East Military Computer Market by Component (Hardware, Software, and Service), by Product (Rugged Computer, Embedded Computer, and Wearable Computer), by Application (Command and Control Systems, Communication Systems, Combat and Tactical Operations

The Middle East military computer market size was valued at USD 170.2 million in 2024, and is projected to grow to USD 185.57 million by 2025. Additionally, the industry is expected to continue its growth trajectory, reaching USD 243.3 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2030.

The significant military power drives market growth due to the increased investments in advanced military technologies to strengthen its defense capabilities. This rise in military stature encourages the adoption of advanced systems for real-time data analysis, tactical support, and enhanced operational efficiency. As per Global Firepower (GFP) index, Iran ranked 14th out of 145 countries in 2024, reflecting its growing military strength. The rise in demand for advanced military computing solutions to focus on enhancing defense infrastructure accelerates the growth of the market.

Moreover, the growing military budget is fueling the expansion of the market as the country emphasizes the acquisition of advanced systems for real-time data analysis and mission-critical functions. A latest report by the World Bank Group mentions that Saudi Arabia's military expenditure marked a growth of 18.7% and rose to USD 75.01 billion in 2022from USD 63.19 billion in 2021.Thus, the increase in military expenditure is leading the adoption of advanced military computing systems, boosting market growth.

However, high costs associated with military computers restrict their adoption due to the significant financial burden on defense contractors and organizations with limited budgets. Their ability to adopt and integrate cutting-edge military computing technologies is severely restricted, hindering their capacity to enhance operational efficiency and improve strategic decision-making. The high initial investment and maintenance costs of these systems make it difficult for many to implement them, especially smaller organizations, slowing the growth and integration of military computer technology in defense sectors, negatively affecting market growth.

On the other hand, the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) creates possibility for military computer market growth. The integration of AI and ML becomes essential as these technologies enhance operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities. Military computers with the ability to support autonomous systems, such as drones and unmanned vehicles, ensure secure, reliable communication between them and are opening up new opportunities for innovation in the defense sector. As defense budgets continue to rise and the need for advanced technologies increases, the integration of AI and ML in military computers is expected to drive significant growth in the market.
