Military Transmit and Receive Module Market by Type (Gallium Nitride, Gallium Arsenide), Application, Frequency (Single-Band and Multi-Band), Communication Medium (Optical, RF and Hybrid), Platform and Region - Global Forecast to 2028

Military Transmit and Receive Module Market by Type (Gallium Nitride, Gallium Arsenide), Application, Frequency (Single-Band and Multi-Band), Communication Medium (Optical, RF and Hybrid), Platform and Region - Global Forecast to 2028



The global military transmit and receive module market size is projected to grow from USD 5.8 billion in 2023 to USD USD 7.7 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2028. The Military transmit and receive module market is expected to witness growth due to focus on military modernization and Integration of advanced radar technologies in air and missile defense system. Furthermore, increasing number of conflicts, and high defense spending are some of the major factors driving the market globally.

However, Vulnerability to radar jamming techniques and Technical complexities associated with transmit and receive modules poses a challenge for military transmit and receive module market growth.

Northrop Grumman Corporation (US), Thales Group (France), L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (US), RTX Corporation (US), and CAES System LLC (US) are some of the leading players operating in the Military transmit and receive module market. These companies secure contracts from governments of different countries.

“The Gallium Nitride segment to account for largest market share in the military transmit and receive module market during the forecast period.”

Based on types, the market is segmented into Gallium Nitride, Gallium Arsenide, and other types. The Gallium Nitride segment will lead the market with 50% of total market share in 2023. The growth of the GaN segment can be attributed to the research and development of GaN-based T/R modules for higher power and lower cost.

“The radar application is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

Based on applications, radar application is expected to dominate the military transmit and receive module market in 2023. The critical role of T/R modules in military radar systems, particularly in active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars, is emphasized as they enable coordinated and electronically controlled transmission and reception of radar signals, influencing key defense platforms such as aircraft and leading to substantial contracts for radar modernization projects.

“The Multi-band segment to account for highest CAGR in the military transmit and receive module market during the forecast period.”

Based on frequency, the market is segmented into Single-band, and multi-band frequencies. The Multi-band segment is forecasted grow at fastest rate of 6.4% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. This is due to multi-band transmit and receive (T/R) modules play a pivotal role in various communication systems, offering flexibility across multiple frequency bands.

“By platform, the naval segment is estimated to register highest growth in the military transmit and receive module market.”

Based on platform, the market is segmented into Airborne, Naval, Land and Space. The naval segment is projected to reach USD 2.58 billion in 2028 from USD 1.93 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.0%. Modern warships use electronic warfare to protect themselves from aerial attacks as Naval warships are vulnerable to get attacked by fighter aircraft, UAVs, or anti-ship missiles.

“The Asia Pacific market is projected to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period.”

The growth of the Asia Pacific market is estimated to be the highest as China and India are both procuring and developing radar, communication, and electronic warfare systems due to China’s expansion plan and India’s unstable borders with two countries having nuclear weapons.
