Early Warning Radar Market Analysis

ID: MRFR//8826-CR | 174 Pages | Author: Swapnil Palwe| September 2020

The Early Warning Radar Market is subject to several factors that determine its dynamics, involving the development, deployment, and need of sophisticated radars built to detect threats at an earlier stage. Technological advances are seen to be one of the most important factors driving this market forward due to the rate at which it continues developing new products. However, geopolitical considerations play an important role in shaping the dynamics of the Early Warning Radar Market. Therefore, nations' security challenges, as well as strategic priorities, directly affect demand for early warning radar systems. Market dynamics respond by providing customized radar solutions that address unique operational requirements and regional security challenges faced by the military globally. In order to meet varied geopolitical scenarios and evolving threat landscapes, early warning radars must be adaptable in design.
The evolvement of military strategies and the transformation of modern warfare has greatly affected the Early Warning Radar Market. Modern armies are looking for early warning radar systems that can provide timely and accurate information on aircraft, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc., for potential threat detection and tracking purposes. Technological integration is a major factor affecting the Early Warning Radar Market dynamics. Seamless integration of advanced technologies such as signal processing, artificial intelligence, and network-centric capabilities is vital for creating comprehensive and effective early warning systems. According to this study, the ability to collaborate with different radar platforms or sensor networks is one of the factors determining how the EWU market would shape up. Cohesive integration with ground-based sensors and satellite-based surveillance, among other sensor technologies, forms part of what military forces seek in their early warning radar solutions.
Material advancements directly influence the dynamics of the Early Warning Radar Market. Contemporary military operations require lightweight and durable materials to make radar systems more agile and robust. In addition, the global arms trade and defense budgets also have a major impact on early warning radar market dynamics. Military modernization resource allocation and procurement of advanced radar systems can be seen as demand influencers for early warning systems. These are significant factors shaping the Early Warning Radar Market Dynamics from regulatory frameworks and ethical considerations, among others, such as adherence to international arms trade regulations, ethical manufacturing practices, and compliance with legal standards governing the use of radar systems that must be met. As a result, responsible manufacturing and trade practices are promoted by market dynamics that follow global norms and rules in order to satisfy legality or ethics in the production and distribution of early warning radar systems.

Global Early-Warning Radar Market Overview


Early-Warning Radar Market Size Is Anticipated to Reach at a 101.88 Billion By 2030 and grow at a CAGR of 7.9%.by 2020 -2030


Early-warning radars are primarily available in different types of configurations such as air-interception radars, bombing radars, and navigation radars. These radars operate on short, medium, and long ranges in 2D, 3D, and 4D. Primary applications of early-warning radars include attack, defense, surveillance, and collision avoidance, and they are used mainly in navy, air force, and army applications by military forces.


The global early-warning radar market is growing at a rapid rate due to the increasing defense expenditures of developing countries, advancements in solid-state electronics, and the replacement of obsolete systems. However, the high cost of development and operation of radars and the availability of radar jamming techniques are some factors that are expected to hamper the growth of the global market during the forecast period.


Moreover, the rising number of territorial disputes, terrorist attacks, and security issues globally has resulted in increased spending by governments on the development of solid-state electronic systems and the replacement of obsolete systems. Thus, the governments of countries such as the US, China, India, France, Brazil, Iran, and Israel are planning on implementing advanced systems to tackle the increasingly complicated combat operations. Furthermore, authorities in these countries are conducting extensive research to develop advanced technologies and have extensively invested in military modernization programs. These factors are also expected to boost the growth of the market.North America accounted for a 41.57% share of the global early-warning radar market in 2019, followed by Europe. Asia-Pacific accounted for the third-largest market share in 2019. Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for early-warning radars during the review period.


Market Synopsis


The global early-warning radar market has been segmented based on type, range, dimension, application, end use, and region. By type, the segments of the market are air-interception radars, bombing radars, navigation radars, and others. By range, the market is classified into short-range, medium-range, and long-range. Based on dimension, the market is segmented into 2D, 3D, and 4D. By application, the market is classified into attack, defense, surveillance, collision avoidance, and others. By end use, the market is segmented into navy, army, and air force. By region, the market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.


Air-interception radars are airborne radars that are used to search, track, and provide an aiming solution for the launch of missiles and/or firing bullets on enemy aircraft. Tracking & fire control radars continuously follow a single target to determine its path or trajectory and to predict its future position. The Air-interception radars provide target location almost continuously at a rate of around ten times per second. These radars are also referred to as fire-control radars that are a part of radar-based fire-control and weapons guidance systems. 


Regional Analysis


Global Early-Warning Radar Market has been segmented, by region, into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America.


North America accounted for the largest market share in 2019. It is expected to be the largest market for early-warning radars during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for early-warning radars during the review period owing to the increasing product demand from military forces and homeland security agencies. There have been numerous territorial disputes along the India-Pakistan and India-China borders, as well as in the Indian Ocean, the Himalayas, and the South China Sea. This has led the militaries of these countries and neighboring countries to adopt early-warning radars to counter the rise in cross-border activities. Manufacturers are also focused on developing early-warning radars with advanced technologies to boost combat capabilities. Therefore, the early-warning radar market in Asia-Pacific is expected to register a CAGR of 8.01% during the forecast period.
