Our latest defence report – Military Simulation and Virtual Training Market 2009-2019 – covers the exciting opportunities presented by one of the defence industry’s growing markets. Our market study examines leading users of military simulation and virtual training, and outlines the requirements driving global growth. We assess the commercial prospects for companies offering military simulation products and services. This analytical report defines the current state of the military simulation and virtual training market and discusses its potential for growth from 2009 onwards, with market forecasting at the global and national levels.

Visiongain's analysis has concluded that worldwide government spending on simulation and virtual training in 2008 totalled $7.9bn. There are already a host of commercial and customised simulation and training products in use for a widening range of applications. We analyse the combination of factors that are resulting in the increasing uptake of simulation by armed forces around the world. Military decision-makers are working out strategies for benefiting from the latest technological breakthroughs in this sector. We detail the capability gaps that armed forces will be seeking to fill by relying more and more on simulation for elements of their training programmes over our forecast period.

How much do individual countries plan to spend on military simulation and virtual training between 2009 and 2019? Where are the growth opportunities over the next decade? How are emerging technologies changing the face of military training around the world? These critical questions and many more can be answered by Visiongain’s in-depth research presented in this report.
