Regional insights
The study covers North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America. By 2023, the North American Military Airborne Radar market will account for roughly 43.0% of the global market. In North America, the US is a major developer and user of advanced military radar systems. North America is most likely to dominate the regional airborne military radar market due to the United States' large military budget. For example, the US military defense expenditure rose 2.3% from 2022 to USD 916 billion in 2023. The increased investment in technologically advanced armament is in reaction to China and Russia's expanding threat assessments, which boost demand for radar systems in the country.
Furthermore, rising defense spending in the United States is leading to active procurement of various military radar systems to bolster its defense capabilities, increasing demand for this market in the sector. For example, in October 2023, the US Air Force said that it was constructing homeland security radars capable of detecting a new type of Russian cruise missile. As part of the Over-The-Horizon Radar initiative, the United States intends to buy four long-range radars from RTX Corporation that can detect, monitor, and report on airborne and surface threats. Canada intends to purchase two of these radar systems under the same program. In general, it is expected that these improvements will drive market demand in North America over the forecast period.
Major PlayersLockheed Martin Corporation, Thales S.A., Northrop Grumman Corporation, Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd., RTX Corporation, Elbit Systems Ltd., L3Harris Technologies, Inc., Leonardo, Saab, and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) are among the major players in the military airborne radar market.
