Increasing Procurement of Air and Radar System to Aid Top Military Radar Manufactures in 2022

The military radar market has been rapidly developing in response to the growing application in defense to detect threats, defense spending in emerging economies, rising terrorist activities, and procurement of defense equipment. These are the major contributing factors driving the market. As per a report by Fortune Business Insights™, the market for military radar is set to reach USD 22.06 billion by 2028 from USD 14.41 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 6.27% in the forecast period. The market is driven by developments in range, detection, identification, and integration with other devices and flexibility to new assignments, stages, and surroundings that surge the demand for new military radar on a global scale.

COVID-19 Pandemic Results in Increasing Demand from Defense Sector  

The rapid spread of COVID-19 led to a significant drop in demand for military radar. With a corresponding reduction in revenues for several military radar dealers, service suppliers were due for late delivery, manufacturing came to a halt, limited workforce at manufacturing facilities, and limited accessibility of tools. The manufacturing sector has been experiencing exceptional interruptions due to the COVID-19 epidemic. However, the defense sector is anticipated to stay stable and produce as most countries do not bargain with their defense finances and remain dedicated to supporting their military capabilities. Companies located in countries severely affected by COVID-19 and those reliant on supply chains situated in affected nations have been the direct victims of the pandemic.
