Based on the Application, the Radome Market has been segmented into Radar, Sonar, and Communication Antenna. The radar segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022. Radar communication antennas are highly susceptible to performance degradation when exposed to severe weather conditions. Ensuring their efficient operation necessitates robust protection mechanisms that minimize signal loss. As a consequence of these critical requirements, there is substantial market demand for radomes in radar applications. Moreover, the increased allocation of government investments towards the advancement of cutting-edge electronic warfare and defense systems, along with the imperative for seamless information dissemination, is poised to drive further expansion within the radar segment.

Based on the Frequency, the Radome Market has been segmented into HF/UHF/VHF-Band, L-Band, S-Band, C-Band, X-Band, KU-Band, KA-Band, and Multi-Band. The multi-band segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022. The multi-band segment is experiencing significant growth primarily driven by the increasing adoption of automation in aircraft and naval vessels. Additionally, the rising use of radomes in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has also been a key factor propelling the expansion of this segment.
