Aerospace and Defense Radar Market is segmented by Platform Type (Ground, Airborne, Naval, and Others), by Application Type (Civil and Military), by Technology Type (CW Radar and Pulsed Radar), by Component Type (Antenna, Receiver, and Transmitter), by Band Type (X, S, C, L, K/Ku/Ka, and V/UHF), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
The Platform Type Analysis includes Ground, Airborne, Naval, and Others. The ground-based segment is currently leading the market with the highest share in 2016, supported by defense budget increases in developing economies, critical border security, and procurement of advanced technology-based radar systems for air traffic control. The airborne platform is likely to witness the highest growth, owing to the rise in global aircraft fleets and enhanced air-traffic-controlling equipment demand.
The Application Type Analysis includes Civil and Military. The military is projected to remain the largest application of the market in the aerospace and defense industry during the forecast period of 2017 to 2022. Large procurement of radar systems by defense departments of major countries supports this position, as these departments seek systems that help meet the growing need for early identification of targets.
The Technology Type Analysis includes CW Radar and Pulsed Radar. The pulsed radar owns the highest market share in 2016 and is expected to grow at the highest rate from 2017 to 2022. The key advantages of pulsed radars over CW radars include indication of the range of the target and higher efficiency in the presence of a number of the target.
The Component Type Analysis includes Antenna, Receiver, and Transmitter. The antenna is likely to remain the largest component type during the forecast period and is also expected to witness the highest growth. Enhanced functionality of the latest lightweight conformal antennas supports antenna component growth. The transmitter component is likely to witness the second-highest growth during the same period, reinforcing component-level demand depth.
The Band Type Analysis includes X, S, C, L, K/Ku/Ka, and V/UHF. The X-band is projected to remain the largest and fastest-growing band type in the global market during the forecast period. Its wide array of applications includes long-range ground surveillance, airborne weather radar, weather observation, marine radar, and police radar, supporting higher procurement in the coming years.
North America is expected to remain the largest market for aerospace and defense radar over the next five years. Its market leader position in the procurement of defense equipment and many manufacturers in the region support regional leadership. This regional analysis shows how procurement concentration and manufacturer presence contribute to North America’s role in the Aerospace and Defense Radar Market.
Asia-Pacific is likely to witness the highest growth rate during 2017-2022. Stratview attributes this growth to a rise in procurement of radar systems led by appraisals in the defense budget of Asian countries. This market outlook positions APAC as the fastest-growing regional opportunity while North America remains the largest market by regional demand and defense equipment procurement strength.
The Aerospace and Defense Radar Market is evolving around modernization, procurement, and advanced radar functionality. Legacy system upgrades remain a stated driver, while ground-based radar demand is supported by critical border security and air traffic control procurement. At the technology level, pulsed radar growth reflects its advantages in target range indication and efficiency in the presence of multiple targets, supporting technology-led market growth analysis.
Band and component trends are also visible in the market intelligence. X-band radar is projected to remain the largest and fastest-growing band type due to applications across ground surveillance, airborne weather radar, weather observation, marine radar, and police radar. Antenna components are expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing component type, supported by enhanced functionality of the latest lightweight conformal antennas during the forecast period.
