Anti-Jamming Market Size, Growth, Share, Industry Analysis & Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis, By Platform (Airborne, Land, Naval, and Space), By Receiver Type (Military and Government Grade and Commercial Transportation-Grade), By Technique (Nulling System, Beam Steering System, and Excision System), By Application (Flight Control, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, Position, Navigation and Timing, Targeting, Casualty Evacuation, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global anti-jamming market size was valued at USD 4.29 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 4.83 billion in 2024 to USD 11.10 billion by 2032, exhibiting a 12.61% CAGR during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 impact has been unprecedented and staggering, with anti-jamming experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Anti-jamming devices protect receivers from any interference and jamming signals. Anti-jammers are installed over several platforms such as aircraft, jets, autonomous weapons, tanks, UAVs, and governmental buildings of national importance. Rising applications of satellite-assisted navigation systems have catalyzed the utilization of GPS jammers across the globe. GPS signals received from satellites from receivers on earth become weak and can be interrupted by other strong Radio Frequency (RF) waves. Therefore, anti-jammers nullify the effect of such unwanted signals and protect receivers from jammers. Anti-jammers operate on nulling, beam forming or excision systems which provide different kinds of operational characteristics.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the growth of the global anti-jamming market. Countries changed their procurement plans and priorities on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. OEMs also faced major hurdles in delivering the anti-jammers or allied equipment as per the schedule due to COVID-19-related restrictions. For example, after several months of delay, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) delivered Heron drones to the Indian army in November 2021.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT

Russia-Ukraine War Proliferated the Demand for Anti-Jammers in the Commercial and Defense Sector

The Russian-Ukraine war has changed procurement priorities and defence spending over several platforms. Besides defence platforms, the Russia-Ukraine war has also catalyzed the market of anti-jammers in the commercial segment. In April 2022, the Civil Aviation Authority of France reported satellite navigation jamming attempts by the Russian army near the Black Sea area. This affected the navigation system of many commercial airlines on the route. Therefore, these kinds of events encourage governmental authorities to upgrade or install anti-jammers on board commercial aircraft.

Anti-Jamming Market Trends

Increasing Use of GPS Anti-Jamming for Civilian and Military Applications Expected to Highest Growth during the Forecast Period

The rapid growth of the market for civilian systems in the coming years is likely to be interrupted by a growing use of satellite and GPS technologies and an increasing demand for anti-jamming solutions that protect devices from jamming.

In addition, satellite-based GPS technology is used for military applications such as missile systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, radio communications, and others. The development of GPS designs that reduce size and weight while increasing accuracy is driven by the proliferation of GPS, as well as a demand for advanced battlefield navigation systems. The market for anti-jamming technology is also likely to be stimulated by the high demand for GPS technologies and a growing problem of jamming in airborne and unmanned vehicles.

Anti-Jamming Market Growth Factors

Proliferation of GPS Jamming Activities to Boost the Demand for the Product in Commercial Aviation

Commercial flights on these routes have been hampered by the increasing use of GPS jamming devices in combined military exercises or within a war zone. The French Civil Aviation Authority reported attempts by the Russian army to interfere with satellite navigation in the Black Sea region in April 2022. This has affected the navigation system of many commercial airlines near the Black Sea area. In 2022, near the Black Sea area, Russia's military tried to jam the satellite navigation systems of a number of airlines operating in that region. The Civil Aviation Authority of France reported this.

The Russian army in Syria had made similar attempts during the attacks, which affected the navigation system of Israel’s commercial airlines. For instance, in November 2022, with the U.S. Space Force's Protected Tactical Satcom prototype, Boeing demonstrated autonomous anti-jamming capability. The Protected Tactical Satellite Prototype is a space-based communications system for the Department of Defense's protected tactical waveform, which is resistant to jamming.

Increasing Demand for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the Military Sector to Stimulate Market Growth

Technological advances in unmanned aerial vehicles have led to the development of lighter, more robust drones with extended range and battery backup. Countries across the globe are increasingly using UAVs to perform activities such as surveillance, navigation, targeting, and the transfer of materials. Further, the fast development of jammers, combined with industrial noise, increased the necessity for interference immunity for dependable operation. Wireless networks play a crucial role in maintaining continuous connectivity and services in the modern era since practically all network devices are integrated into settings.

In this context, technology to mitigate jams has been introduced to improve the quality of network communication. There will be 1.6 million drones in the air by 2024, according to the FAA's 2020 drone forecast, and commercial drone sales in the U.S. alone are expected to reach 1.2 million by 2024. A promising financial opportunity for GPS manufacturers is likely to arise from the growing commercial use of drones.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Advancements in Quantum Communication to Hamper the Demand for Anti-Jamming Devices

Quantum communication works on the principle of quantum physics and provides the most secure data transition via photons of light. In August 2016, China launched a satellite called Micius that is dedicated to providing quantum communication. Micius established a direct link between two ground stations, which were 1,200 km apart. Micius established this link by entanglement-based quantum cryptography. In November 2022, the European Commission announced that it would invest USD 2.46 billion to launch a multi-orbital satellite constellation with quantum communication technology for secured data transmission by 2027. Therefore, developments in quantum communication may pose a major threat to anti-jammers.
