Private Military Services, referred to as PMS, are commercial firms offering a range of military-related services.

Essentially, private military services are for-profit organizations that provide armed forces and military expertise to clients, often at a lower cost compared to traditional government military services.

The Private Military Services (PMS) industry has undergone significant growth in recent decades, driven by the trend of increased outsourcing of military activities. This expansion has been fueled by various factors, including the large supply of discharged military personnel after the end of the Cold War, the widespread demand for these personnel from both weak states facing internal conflicts and non-state actors operating in conflict zones, as well as the increased privatization and outsourcing by governments in advanced market economies.

These services are provided by a variety of private companies that offer military expertise and armed forces to clients across the globe. The demand for these services is not solely driven by outsourcing, but also by internal conflict situations where state capacity is weak or absent.

The market size of the PMS industry is substantial and continues to grow. With the increasing complexity of conflicts and the evolving needs of clients, private military companies are finding new opportunities to expand their services. The Private Military Services industry is a rapidly growing and dynamic sector that is likely to continue to expand in the coming years.
