The global Synthetic Aperture Radar market size is expected to be worth around US$ 4.97 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.
The global Synthetic Aperture Radar market size was valued at US$ 2.22 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during forecast period 2021 to 2028.
Growth Factors
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) uses a remote sensing technique that generates high-resolution images and can be used for earth observation and surveillance operations. The synthetic aperture of SAR operates at various frequencies and modes, which enable it to take pictures through cloud covers, inclement weathers, and during the day and night. Synthetic aperture radar is compact and light in weight compared to the conventional radars, which is expected to increase the adoption of these devices for space satellite missions and thereby drive the market.
Over the years, SAR has been widely used for military operations, whereas it has also gained prominence in the commercial sector recently. The advanced synthetic aperture technology makes it possible to detect and capture natural disasters, infrastructure damages, archeological artifacts, snow mapping, biomass and vegetation, and oil spillages in oceans, among others. The growing need for tracking and detecting movement, mapping troops, and gathering intelligence data is expected to increase the adoption of these systems in the military operations. Furthermore, synthetic aperture radars can be integrated with (UAV’s) and rising usage of UAV for tactical and surveillance purposes is expected to bolster the demand for SAR systems in the market.
Report Highlights
The single frequency segment dominated the market with a share of 82.6% in 2019. This high share is attributed to the simple operation and its ability to monitor areas over specialized wavelengths. Over the years, the single frequency SAR has been deployed on the airborne and ground systems as it provides a cost effective and lightweight solution for earth observation purpose. The multi-frequency SAR has been witnessing steady growth owing to its ability to monitor and capture images for various applications at required frequencies. Besides, having a better penetration ability through cloud covers and inclement weather, the deployment of multi-frequency systems has been limited to space-based SAR due to its high cost and large size.
The airborne segment dominated the market with a share of 83.4% in 2019. This high share is attributed to airborne systems' capability to scan and capture larger areas compared to ground-based SAR. Synthetic aperture radars are deployed on three platforms under the airborne segment, namely spacecraft, aircraft, and (UAV). The aircraft platform holds the largest market share owing to the increased demand for surveillance activities in the defense sector. The UAV segment is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate due to its increasing demand in commercial as well as military operations and lower deployment costs of SAR systems.
The multi-mode segment dominated the market with a share of 72.6% in 2019. This high share is attributed to the wide adoption of SAR operating with different modes to harness each mode's characteristics. SAR mainly operates with three different operating modes, namely ScanSAR, stripmap, and spotlight mode. The most fundamental mode used is stripmap, which possesses a narrow swath width. It is focussed on a single area and is suitable for monitoring applications like agriculture, mining, urban sites, illegal activities, and coastal areas. ScanSAR mode provides extensive area coverage and provides images of wider swaths, while spotlight mode is used for detecting changes in a congested environment in urban areas.
The defense segment dominated the market with a share of 53.6% in 2019. This is attributed to the growing number of surveillance activities, such as tracking and mapping enemy troop movements, spying, and intelligence data gathering, which has increased the adoption of SAR for military purposes. Furthermore, governments have increased military spending to develop and integrate missiles along with SAR, which will improve the targeting and pointing accuracy of the missile. The usage of SAR has added a new dimension to reconnaissance. It led to the development of technologies like foliage penetration and ground moving target indication, which is expected to increase the adoption of these systems in military operations.
North America dominated the market with a share of 32.3% in 2019. This is attributed to the presence of a significant number of synthetic aperture radar manufacturers and growing military spending for up-gradation of current detection systems in the region. Besides, the collaboration between the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has increased the investment in the space-based SAR satellite projects. Europe is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period with the scheduled launch of BIOMASS, earth observation satellite by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2021.
