OREANDA-NEWS. Anti-Jamming Market for GPS by Technique (Nulling System, Beam Steering System, Civilian System), Receiver Type (Military & Government Grade, Commercial Transportation Grade), Application, End User, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022..., Market Research Report: MarketsandMarkets.

The global Anti-jamming market for GPS is expected to exhibit a good growth potential till 2022. The overall market is expected to reach USD 4.80 Billion (in terms of value) and 309.2 thousand units (in terms of volume) by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.0% and 10.1%, respectively, between 2016 and 2022. The increasing demand for secured weapons guided systems, increasing vulnerability of GPS signals due to development of low-cost GPS jammers, and present developments to improve the overall GPS infrastructure are the major factors driving the growth of this market.

In the market by anti-jamming techniques, beam steering systems are expected to have a higher growth rate than nulling systems as they are increasingly replacing the latter. Beam steering systems, being the most effective GPS anti-jamming techniques are the ideal choice for unmanned vehicles, which is the main reason for unmanned vehicles to experience the highest growth rate.

Of all the receiver types, the commercial transportation grade receivers is expected to have the highest growth during the forecast period. The reason for commercial grade receivers to have the highest growth rate is because of steady applications of them in the civilian sector such as in casualty evacuation and flight control.

The market for the military-based ground end-user segment is expected to register the largest shipment as GPS anti-jamming systems are used extensively on the ground vehicles of the armed forces, and also because the number of ground vehicles of armed forces are more as compared to the other wings of the same.

North America held the largest share of the Anti-jamming market for GPS in 2015, while the market in APAC is expected to be the second-largest by 2022. This growth of the market in APAC can be attributed to the ongoing territorial disputes in the South China Sea between China and some South-East Asian countries, between Japan and North Korea, and disputes between South Korea and North Korea. These political tensions are expected to fuel the military expenditures in these respective countries, and a significant portion of this expenditure is expected to be invested in GPS anti-jamming. The Anti-jamming market for GPS in RoW is expected to grow at a moderate rate. The volatile situation in Syria and the threats posed by the Islamic State (ISIS) group has prompted many of the regional powers there such as Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia to increase defense spending for their armed forces, which includes installing GPS anti-jamming systems.

The lengthy clearance time of new technologies for operational clearance, incompatibility of GPS anti-jammers with older generation GPS receivers and competition from Precision Terrain Aided Navigation (PTAN) are the major restraints for the growth of this market. The major players in the market are Rockwell Collins (U.S.), The Raytheon Company (U.S.), NovAtel, Inc. (Canada), Cobham plc (U.K.), and Mayflower Communications Company, Inc. (U.S.), and others. These players adopted various strategies such as new product developments, mergers, partnerships, collaborations, and business expansions to boost their revenue in the Anti-jamming market for GPS.
