Market Trends of Radar Systems Industry
Automotive Application to Witness Significant Growth During the Forecast Period
- As Automobile players adapt to IoT, autonomous driving will revolutionize how consumers experience mobility. A study by Mckinsey predicted that the growing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in Europe could reduce the number of accidents by about 15% by 2030. The total value of the autonomous driving hardware market is expected to reach USD 80 billion by 2030. This will create a robust market for hardware products like domain control units, cameras, radars, and safety sensors.
- MMWave radars used in automotive, industrial, civil, and meteorological systems provide accurate sensing of location, velocity, and angle without any obstacle. These radars are gaining attention among automotive players for their advanced driving assistant systems (ADAS), as these can detect a collision, multi-lane, multi-object tracking and parking aids.
- Automobile companies are investing heavily in autonomous driving solutions. Hyundai announced an investment of USD 10 billion for electrification and autonomous vehicle technology. Volkswagen planned to spend USD 2.35 billion in China to stay competitive in the age of smart electric vehicles.
North America to Witness Highest Growth During the Forecast Period
- In 2022, the global spending on defense services was USD 1.981 trillion. The US military spending was approximately USD 754 billion in 2022, making it the most paying nation in the world. The region has a significant need for radar systems for aviation and maritime applications due to its strongest military base in the world.
- In August 2022, the US Northern Command's Operations Directorate confirmed the trials of Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) in missile defense operational architecture. This USD 1.5 billion radar system can provide constant coverage to detect intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launches by adversarial nations toward the United States.
- In April 2022, to improve continental security in conjunction with the US, the Canadian Govt. announced an investment plan of USD 1 billion for a new radar system to protect major population centers in North America. The radar system would provide long-range surveillance of northern approaches on Arctic airspace to detect threats against major United States or Canadian cities
