Military Gnss Receivers Market Report

Market Highlights

Military GNSS receivers render unparalleled assistance to the armed, airborne, and marine forces on the battlefields, enabling the provision of the position, route, and velocity details of the targets. Over the past decade, with the modernization of the military forces, the demand and development of such advanced systems have grown immensely, fuelled by the rising national and political stalemates, across the globe. For instance, in the current Russia-Ukraine war, there has been a hefty growth in the deployment of GNSS receivers across the Russian infantry and armed units.

Want to have a closer look at this market:

In addition to the ongoing conflicts and disputes, there have been several developments and investments in the defense industry directed at military GNSS receivers in recent years, which would boost the overall market. Some of them are:

• In February 2022, it was reported that Russia would switch from the GLONASS satellite navigation system to the traditional Loran-C system Chayka, a land-based radio navigation system, for its fighter planes and armored vehicles, for the invasion of Ukraine.
• In September 2021, China and Russia had an agreement to install their respective space agencies' GNSS ground monitoring stations (BeiDou and GLONASS) in the other country.

With the increasing military operations as a result of the looming terror threats and geopolitical hostilities, several countries are focusing on strengthening the defense and offensive capabilities of their airborne, ground-based, and naval forces in order to ensure battlefield supremacy. Thus, in recent years, the deployment and usage of military GNSS receivers have witnessed a colossal rise, enabling better coordination among different military platforms and resulting in effective cross-platform interoperability and mission support. Consequently, the overall military GNSS receivers market is estimated to grow at a robust CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period to reach a value of US$ 922.3 Million in 2027.

Market Segments' Analysis

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into GPS receivers and other GNSS receivers. Between these sub-segments, the military GPS receivers hold an unprecedented market share and are driving the global market growth, owing to massive investments in such devices, particularly by the US Department of Defense (DoD). Although there have been some market developments in other GNSS receivers in countries such as China and Russia, they are minor in comparison to the dominance of GPS receivers.

, to know the market segment details.

Based on the application type, the market is bifurcated into aviation-based, ground-based, PGM-based, handheld, and maritime equipment-based GNSS receivers. Among these sub-segments, the PGM-based application type is expected to remain the biggest demand generator for military GNSS receivers in the foreseen future. GNSS receivers form an integral component of the PGMs, which are in high demand, as a result of the rising border conflicts and terror threats.

Based on the frequency type, the market is segmented as single frequency and dual-frequency GNSS receivers. Between these frequency types, dual-frequency is the more commonly used frequency type for military GNSS receivers as it provides enhanced accuracy and is more resistant to multipath errors, which are common in single-frequency GNSS receivers. Furthermore, if one of the frequencies fails, the other serves as a backup, ensuring uninterrupted signal transmission.

In terms of regions, North America dominates the global military GNSS receivers market and is expected to register a steady growth throughout the forecast period. The USA, in particular, accounts for a mammoth share of the overall market, owing to the large-scale investments of the country's Department of Defense (DoD) in the development and procurement of military GNSS receivers. Concurrently, Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness the fastest market growth in the foreseen future, due to the increasing military expenditure, rising regional terror threats, and continuous border conflicts between India-Pakistan and India-China, among others.
