Segment Analysis

By Platform Type

The aerospace and defense radar market is segmented based on ground-based, airborne, naval, and other platform types. The ground-based segment is currently leading the market with the highest share in 2016. An increase in the defense budget of the developing economies, the insurgence of critical border security, and a rise in the procurement of advanced technology-based radar systems for air traffic control are the major growth drivers for the ground-based radar market. The airborne platform is likely to witness the highest growth over the next five years, owing to the rise in global aircraft fleets and increasing demand for enhanced air-traffic-controlling equipment.

By Application Type

Based on the application type, 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. This is mainly because of the large procurement of radar systems by defense departments of major countries to meet the growing need for means of early identification of targets. TPQ-53, APG-63/F-15 and JSTARS are a few major defense programs released in 2016. The civil application is expected to witness the highest growth during the same period, driven by increasing procurement of radar systems by commercial aviation and increased use of UAVs for navigation and surveillance by major countries across the globe.

By Technology Type

Based on the technology type, 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 are an indication of the range of the target and higher efficiency in the presence of a number of the target. This will keep propelling the growth of this technology during the forecast period.

By Component Type

Based on the component type, the market is segmented into antenna, receiver, and transmitter. The antenna is likely to remain the largest component type during the forecast period. It is also expected to witness the highest growth during the same period. The factor supporting the high growth of antenna components is the enhanced functionality of the latest lightweight conformal antennas. The transmitter component is likely to witness the second-highest growth during the same period.

By Band Type

Based on the band type, the X-band is projected to remain the largest and fastest-growing band type in the global market during the forecast period. X-band has a wide array of applications, such as long-range ground surveillance, airborne weather radar, weather observation, marine radar, and police radar. Pertaining to its large applications, the X-band radar market is expected to have a higher procurement rate in the coming years, resulting in a higher growth rate during the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America is expected to remain the largest market for aerospace and defense radar over the next five years. This is because of its market leader position in the procurement of defense equipment and having many manufacturers in this region.  APAC is likely to witness the highest growth rate during the same period (2017-2022), owing to a rise in the procurement of radar systems led by appraisals in the defense budget of Asian countries.
