Medical support facilities, incident commands, and emergency distribution centers are just a few applications for the deployable military shelter system. The development of specialized products used by soldiers has been fueled by advancements in military operations, joint operations, exercises, and tactics. The infantry, medical support, and rescue teams primarily use these mobile, technical textile-based shelter systems.
Due to shifting battlefield requirements, military units are deployed to more remote war zones and various terrains for training and strategic operations. Due to border tensions, China and India have sent thousands of soldiers across the LAC. Both countries ordered new deployable shelters due to a temperature drop along the border. Modular shelters, barrel-style shelters, and vehicle sheds are some of the new troop facilities. All soldiers are housed in heated tents and contemporary camps at high altitudes. These factors are anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Businesses and governments are developing quickly deployable, modular military shelters with low weight and cost-to-volume ratios. Current investments focus on lightweight materials that provide better weather protection and simplify transport and deployment. For instance, AirBeam technology created the framework for conventional tents using air-inflated fabric structures instead of metal and carbon fiber poles. This technology can build lighter-weight base camps, command and control operations centers, and aircraft and vehicle maintenance facilities with fail-safe collapse shelters. As construction and material technologies evolve, the market for deployable military shelters is expected to grow.
North America is the most significant shareholder in the global deployable military shelters market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.33% during the forecast period. One of the most well-liked military designs currently used by the US Department of Defense (DoD) is the Tent Expandable Modular Personnel (TEMPER) tent. These tents are incredibly durable, flame-resistant, quickly self-extinguishing fabric, and often have tunnel-like shapes. Solar shades that reduce solar loading, which can weaken a tent's structural stability by stressing the fabric, and thermal liners that lengthen the tent's life and improve indoor comfort are additional features of the TEMPER tents. The US Army also uses a different operational tent design called the Deployable Rapid Assembly Shelter (DRASH). Four people can quickly and easily erect the portable geodesic DRASH shelter without needing specialized tools. These tents have features and materials that support heating and cooling and can be collapsed.
Europe is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.50%, generating USD 267.35 million during the forecast period. Strategically, NATO member states deploy European forces to support various international peacekeeping missions. In areas affected by pandemics or conflict, defense forces erect medical camps and provide temporary shelter for the injured. The entire footprint of this brand-new, transportable military medical facility can fit inside a 400-meter running loop thanks to the Project HAPTIC concept, which forms the basis of the field hospitals. Additionally, Franklin is the leading supplier of expeditionary tents to the British Ministry of Defense, and its ITC (Improved Tented Camp) is currently used in British military bases worldwide. The ITC's easy assembly, adaptability, and modular design make it sound like a field shelter for expeditions and a place for soldiers to sleep.
