Dublin, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Military Vehicle Driver Vision Enhancer (DVE) Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The military vehicle driver vision enhancer (DVE) market continues to show substantial growth, with its size expected to increase from $1.23 billion in 2025 to $1.33 billion in 2026, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. This expansion is driven by rising investments in armored and tactical vehicle deployment, necessitating enhanced night-driving capabilities. The technological advancements in infrared sensors, offering improved clarity and detection range, contribute to this growth.

By 2030, the market size is projected to reach $1.82 billion, reflecting a CAGR of 8.2%. Key growth drivers include the integration of DVE systems with advanced driver-assist and autonomous navigation technologies, increasing demand for lightweight, rugged displays, and investment in high-resolution thermal sensors.

Global modernization programs are pivotal in expanding the DVE market as governments worldwide prioritize defense enhancements amid rising geopolitical tensions. An example is the United States Department of Defense's report highlighting China's defense budget surge to $220 billion in 2023, fueling modernization objectives and subsequently driving demand for advanced DVE systems.

Leading market players are actively innovating to advance DVE technologies. In May 2023, Nedinsco BV introduced the SCOPUS Driver Vision Enhancement camera equipped with day sight and long-wave infrared thermal sensors, offering superior image blending and navigation support, even in harsh conditions. Similarly, companies like Rheinmetall AG and Honeywell are partnering to develop next-generation vision solutions that leverage augmented and mixed reality capabilities.

Major entities in the DVE market include Raytheon Company, BAE Systems plc, Safran S.A., Thales Group, L3Harris Technologies Inc ., and more. North America dominated the DVE market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period.

However, changes in global trade relations, especially the imposition of tariffs on electro-optical components and thermal sensors, are impacting production costs. This situation presents both challenges and opportunities, with regional supply chains being encouraged, bolstering local manufacturing capabilities.
