3D Radar Market - Trends Forecast Till 2030

Market Snapshot

Market Overview

The global 3D Radar Market size is projected to reach a CAGR of 18.69% from 2023-2030.

Radar stands for radio detection and ranging system. 3D radars are the upgraded version of 2D radars. A 3D radar provides a three-dimensional view in terms of the elevation, range, and velocity of the object. 3D radars can automatically detect airborne targets and can work under all weather conditions effectively. The 3D radar system works on wireless connectivity and can extract data, which can help in the 3D mapping of an area from various angles. 3D radars are used for weather monitoring, surveillance, and for defense purposes. Further, 3D radars are very helpful in the precise prediction of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and hurricanes. Additionally, 3D radar can be used as a long-range warning system, which can detect enemy missiles and aircraft on the basis of their size and speed.

Growth in the 3D Radar Market can largely be attributed to factors such as the Increase in the use of modern warfare techniques, the adoption of 3D radar in airports, and an increase in the number of unmanned aerial vehicles. Another factor that will escalate the market is a rise in the procurement of unmanned aerial vehicles in the defense forces, thus the demand for 3D radars will also increase. The demand for advanced military radars to conduct expeditionary operations is growing among armies. Several leading market players are focusing on offering advanced products for the military, adding significant value to the 3D radars market. There is a rising demand for 3D radars from the navy also because of its advanced features such as accuracy, the ability to simultaneously track multiple targets, etc. Such radars are also equipped with digital receiver and programmable signal processor which provides high-resolution tracking, and response & information availability thus this will further contribute to the market growth.

On the other hand, the high installation & development cost of 3D radar and the high skills requirements for operating & maintaining 3D radar systems are expected to limit market growth to some extent in the coming years.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the research & development in 3D radars companies across the globe has been hampered due to the declared lockdowns and government restrictions on public gatherings. As government spending shifts toward economic recovery due to the COVID-19 pandemic, industries are expected to experience a reduction in the number of orders for 3D radars. The production rate of 3D radar-making companies has been affected adversely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as industries are facing the problem of labour shortage. The cancellation of several military exercises between nations and the reduction in military activities worldwide due to COVID-19 have been impacting adversely to military radars market as the demand for relevant spare parts is also low. Post-COVID-19, the 3D radars market is expected to witness significant growth as several countries have either already ordered or planning to procure such radars for their forces.

Delvens Industry Expert's Standpoint

3D Radar delivers radar coverage in 3 components with progression statistics with ranges and orientation. The 3D Radar Market has been classified into platforms, wavelength, frequencies, and region segments. The downsizing of 3D radars is expected to generate profitable prospects for the industry. Some of the primary reasons for the rapid expansion of the 3D radar market are the increasing usage of sophisticated combat methods and the acceptance of 3D Radar by airports. Furthermore, the increasing deployment of air and missile defense systems is expected to propel the expansion of the 3D Radar Market.

Market Portfolio

Key Findings

• 3D radar systems are also extensively used in small unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). Those aircraft are widely used for surveillance operations and advanced military surveys. The demand is further augmented, owing to the additional capabilities of the technology, as it enabled surface target detection.
   
• Increasing the research and development budget for unmanned aerial vehicles is one of the prominent drivers that accelerate the growth of the airborne 3D Radar market. According to the Teal Group Corporation study findings, the R&D UAV budget globally (excluding the USA) is projected to amount to about USD 1550 million in 2023 while in 2018, it was USD 910 million only. Such focused research and development for UAVs are expected in the market for the 3D radar system as well.
   
• The market under the range segment is segmented into long-range, medium-range, and short-range. The segment which is expected to lead the 3D radar market is a long-range segment. The beforementioned segment has gained popularity in recent years, owing to its applicability in weather monitoring applications as it helps in the accurate prediction of natural calamities.
   
• The market under the platform segmented is segmented into the airborne, ground, and naval. The ground segment of the market will project the highest growth as the manufacturers of different types of airborne 3D radar are making efforts to develop specialized airborne 3D radar for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as the use of airborne 3D radar in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) enables easy data collection of fast-changing terrains, such as snow slopes and active volcanoes.

Regional Analysis

North America to Dominate the Market

• On the other hand, North America dominated the 3D radar market, due to the presence of prominent companies such as Lockheed Martin Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation.
