OREANDA-NEWS. Radar Systems Market by Technology (CW Radars, Pulsed Radars), Application (Defense, Commercial), Range (Short, Long, Medium), Component (Antenna, Receiver, Transmitter), Frequency Band (L, X, C, S) and Region - Global Forecast to 2021..., Market Research Report: MarketsandMarkets

The radar systems market is expected to grow from USD 20.29 Billion in 2016 to USD 26.37 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.39% .from 2016 to 2021. The increased usage of radar systems in unmanned vehicles and homeland security is expected to drive the growth of the radar systems market in the coming years.

Based on technology, the radar systems market has been segmented into pulsed radar and continuous wave radar. The pulsed radar segment is expected to lead the radar systems market in 2016. This growth can be attributed to the increased usage of pulse radars for efficient and accurate object detection and estimation of its range.

Based on application, the radar systems market has been segmented into defense and commercial. The commercial radar segment is expected to lead the radar systems market in 2016. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for radars across various industries, including automotive and oil & gas.

Based on component, the radar systems market has been segmented into transmitter, receiver, and antenna. Antenna is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the market, owing to various technological advancements in the segment. For instance, the limitations of conventional radars can be overcome with the help of new electronically-steered arrays technology, which has made surveillance more effective.

Based on range, the radar systems market has been segmented into short, medium, and long range radars. Short range is projected to be the fastest-growing segment of the market, due to the increased usage of short range radars in commercial applications. The long range segment contributed the largest share to the market, as long range radars are extensively procure by the defense sector in several countries.

Based on frequency band, the C band segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, as C band radar can be used in military as well as commercial applications such as weather forecasting.

The radar systems market in North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the market in 2016, followed by Europe. There is a high demand for unmanned vehicles in air surveillance for homeland security as well as coastal surveillance in the region. The Asia-Pacific radar systems market is expected to witness the highest growth in near future. This growth can be attributed to the increased disputes and unrest among some of the countries in the region, which has led to increased procurement of surveillance systems.

The requirement of high capital investments for the development and manufacturing of advanced radar systems is one of the factors that may restrain the growth of the market, globally. Significant investments are required at different stages of the value chain of radar systems, such as research & development, manufacturing, system integration, and assembly.

Lockheed Martin Corporation (U.S.) is one of the leading companies operational in the radar systems market. It has been focusing on research & development of new and enhanced radar systems in recent years. The company’s product portfolio caters mainly to the demands of the defense industry. The company has also been undertaking efforts to improve the operational efficiency and reduce costs.
