Seven defence technologies driving electronics demand in 2025 December 17, 2025 During this year’s Evertiq Expo in Kraków, the topic of defense electronics filled the conference room to capacity. The top list of defense companies I presented turned out to be only a starting point for conversations that continued long after the session had ended. Behind each of these manufacturers stand dozens of electronics suppliers: semiconductor producers, PCB and RF module manufacturers, and specialized EMS companies. So I asked myself a simple question: which defense technologies drove electronics demand most strongly in 2025? Let’s look at them from the industry’s point of view rather than from a catalogue of weapon systems.
