Description
The South Korea military computer market size was valued at USD 319.0 million in 2024, and is projected to grow to USD 362.65 million by 2025. Additionally, the industry is expected to continue its growth trajectory, reaching USD 583.3 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.0% from 2025 to 2030.
The export of defense technology in the country drives the growth of the military computer market due to the increasing demand for advanced systems to support critical defense operations. As countries strengthen their military capabilities, they invest more in innovative technologies for the need for high-performance military computing solutions. South Korea turned up to became one of the top 10 arms exporters in the world by exporting defense technology to 12 countries in 2023. This expansion in defense technology exports accelerates the adoption of advanced military computing systems that enhances operational efficiency and bolstering defense capabilities across multiple regions, in turn boosting market growth.
Moreover, the increase in defense expenditure in the country fuels the integration of advanced computing systems aimed at improving operational performance. These systems enable Korean defense forces to maintain superior situational awareness, respond rapidly to emerging threats, and optimize resource allocation during operations and are essential for real-time data processing, communication, and mission planning. Reports from World Bank in 2022 states that South Korea’s military expenditure was around USD 46.37 billion. The growth in military capability drives the adoption of military computers boosting market growth, as South Korea prioritizes technological upgrades to improve its defense operations and maintain strategic advantage.
However, delays and shortages in the supply of critical components hinder the timely procurement of military computer systems. The inability to deploy advanced systems on schedule limits the military's capability to respond swiftly to emerging threats, affecting strategic decision-making and operational effectiveness. Also, prolonged timelines can also impact training and adaptation processes, delaying the full utilization of new technologies within defense forces. These supply chain disruptions result in increased costs and longer project timelines, thereby limiting the efficient deployment of these technologies hindering 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. Military forces all over the region seeks to improve their capabilities to stay ahead of adversaries. These technologies allow military computers to analyze vast amount of data from various sources to provide actionable insights that improve situation awareness and tactical planning. Also, these advanced technologies enable continuous learning from past operations and evolving threats, improving the performance of military computers. 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.
