Electronically Scanned Arrays Market By Type (Active, Passive), By Component (Transmit receive module, Phase shifters, Beamforming network, Signal processing, Others), By Range (Short, Medium, Long), By Platform (Land, Naval, Air), By Dimension (2D, 3D, 4D): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
The electronically scanned arrays market was valued at $8.5 Billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach $16.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.28% from 2024 to 2033.
An electronically scanned array (ESA) is a type of phased array, consisting of multiple antennas that generate beams and rays of radio waves. These waves are directed toward a specific target without the need to physically move the antennas. ESA systems are commonly used in defense radar applications for scanning radar beams and detecting aircraft and missiles. The global increase in defense spending is a key factor driving the market growth, as many countries focus on modernizing and strengthening their military capabilities to address evolving security threats and geopolitical tensions. This surge in defense budgets is benefiting the electronically scanned array (ESA) market, as advanced radar systems are essential components of contemporary military infrastructure. For instance, in September 2024, the U.S. Air Force granted a contract of $16.7 million to Northrop Grumman to supply active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar systems for F-16 fighter jets, enhancing the aircraft's capabilities with advanced radar technology.
Governments are investing heavily in upgrading defense systems across various domains, including air defense, missile defense, naval warfare, and ground-based surveillance. ESAs are integral to these upgrades due to their superior performance over traditional radar systems. Their ability to deliver high-resolution imaging, track multiple targets and rapidly steer beams which play vital role in modern warfare. The growing trend of miniaturization and the deployment of small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is driving the growth of the electronically scanned array (ESA) market. Advances in material science and electronic engineering have made it possible to develop compact, lightweight ESAs that can be integrated into small satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These smaller ESAs are essential for detailed Earth observation, environmental monitoring, and real-time data collection, making them highly valuable for defense purposes. The rising number of small satellite launches and the increasing demand for high-resolution imaging and real-time communication are fueling the adoption of ESAs.
