Global Surveillance Radar Market 2025 - 2035
The Global Surveillance Radar market is estimated at USD 9.25 billion in 2025, projected to grow to USD 15.75 billion by 2035 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.47% over the forecast period 2025-2035.
Introduction to Surveillance Radar Market:
The defense surveillance radar market is an integral part of modern security infrastructure, supporting the detection, tracking, and monitoring of aerial, maritime, and ground-based threats. These systems are designed to provide early warning and situational awareness, enabling armed forces to make informed decisions in both defensive and offensive operations. Unlike civilian radars that primarily focus on weather or air traffic control, defense surveillance radars are engineered for resilience, precision, and the ability to operate under hostile conditions. The importance of these radars has grown as militaries face increasingly complex threats ranging from stealth aircraft and drones to hypersonic weapons and low-altitude cruise missiles. Their role extends beyond combat, as they are also vital for border security, coastal monitoring, and peacekeeping operations. The market has evolved to include a wide variety of systems, from large fixed installations to mobile units capable of rapid deployment in conflict zones. This diversity reflects the need for flexibility in modern defense strategies. With the rising emphasis on integrated air and missile defense, surveillance radars remain the cornerstone of detection networks, ensuring that nations maintain a comprehensive picture of activities in contested environments and safeguard their airspace and territorial waters.
Technology Impact in Surveillance Radar Market:
Technological advances are reshaping the capabilities of defense surveillance radars, driving improvements in detection range, accuracy, and resilience against countermeasures. One of the most transformative developments has been the widespread adoption of active electronically scanned array systems, which allow radars to track multiple targets simultaneously while maintaining a low probability of interception. This technology enhances responsiveness and survivability in contested airspace, where adversaries deploy electronic warfare to disrupt traditional radar signals. Advances in digital signal processing and artificial intelligence are further enhancing performance. Modern radars can filter through background clutter, distinguish between genuine threats and decoys, and deliver actionable insights in real time. These systems also integrate with command-and-control networks, allowing seamless sharing of data across air, land, and sea domains. Such connectivity is crucial for joint and coalition operations where rapid coordination determines mission success. Materials and miniaturization technologies are also shaping the market, enabling the development of lighter, mobile systems that can be mounted on vehicles, ships, or even unmanned platforms. Meanwhile, research into quantum radar and passive radar concepts highlights future directions aimed at countering stealth technologies. Collectively, these innovations ensure that surveillance radars remain indispensable in modern and next-generation defense strategies.
Key Drivers in Surveillance Radar Market:
The growth of the defense surveillance radar market is fueled by evolving security requirements and the increasing sophistication of threats. Nations recognize that early detection is fundamental to safeguarding airspace, coastlines, and critical infrastructure. The proliferation of unmanned aerial systems, stealth technologies, and advanced missile systems has created demand for radars capable of identifying threats that are smaller, faster, and harder to detect than ever before. Another major driver is the emphasis on integrated defense systems. Modern militaries seek radars that not only detect but also seamlessly connect with interceptors, aircraft, and command centers. This interoperability allows for coordinated responses to multi-domain threats and strengthens layered defense architectures. The rising importance of ballistic missile defense has further increased reliance on long-range radars capable of tracking high-speed projectiles across vast distances. Budgetary allocations for defense modernization also play a key role. Governments are prioritizing investments in radar technology to ensure preparedness for both conventional and asymmetric warfare scenarios. In addition, the increasing involvement of defense forces in non-combat roles, such as disaster monitoring and border surveillance, ensures consistent demand. Collectively, these drivers underline the central role of surveillance radars in shaping resilient and future-ready defense strategies.
Regional Trends in Surveillance Radar Market:
Regional trends in the defense surveillance radar market reflect a blend of geographic needs, security challenges, and technological priorities. Maritime nations emphasize coastal and naval radar systems to monitor expansive sea lanes and deter potential intrusions, while landlocked regions focus on border surveillance and air defense radars to protect against aerial incursions. Geography, therefore, heavily influences radar procurement strategies. Advanced defense powers are leading the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as electronically scanned arrays and long-range early warning radars. Their focus lies in building integrated air and missile defense systems that can counter stealth aircraft and hypersonic threats. In contrast, emerging economies often prioritize mobile, cost-effective solutions that can serve multiple purposes, from battlefield surveillance to disaster response. Regional tensions and alliances also shape demand. Areas experiencing territorial disputes or heightened rivalries invest heavily in radar networks to ensure constant vigilance and deterrence. Meanwhile, nations engaged in multinational operations emphasize interoperability, ensuring that their systems align with those of allies. Industrial capability further defines regional dynamics, as some countries push for indigenous radar development to reduce dependency on imports, while others rely on collaborations to access advanced designs. These trends together highlight the diversity and vitality of the global defense surveillance radar market.
Key Surveillance Radar Program:
After receiving approval from the German Parliament, Indra has signed a contract with the National Procurement Office (BAAINBw) of the Bundeswehr to equip the Luftwaffe with a next-generation radar system designed to detect objects in low Earth orbit. The radar will safeguard active satellites from potential collisions with high-speed orbital debris and help counter risks posed by other satellites attempting to approach, interfere with, or gather intelligence on them. Indra, through its German subsidiary, was invited to participate in the tender and secured the contract based on the proven maturity, superior performance, and modular, flexible design of its space radar, which allows for scalable capability upgrades.
