Global Surveillance Radars Market Size study & Forecast, by Application, Platform, Frequency Band, Dimension, Component and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

Description

Global Surveillance Radars Market is valued approximately at USD 12.36 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a compounded annual growth rate of more than 11.50% over the forecast period 2025-2035. Surveillance radars have emerged as strategic assets across military and civilian domains, powering capabilities that span early threat detection, airspace monitoring, border surveillance, and maritime safety. Leveraging advanced technologies such as AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array), AI-based signal processing, and multi-band integration, modern surveillance radar systems are designed to identify, track, and interpret high-speed threats across varied altitudes and terrains. The accelerating need for real-time situational awareness in response to cross-border tensions, air incursions, smuggling activities, and evolving space-based risks is significantly fueling demand for high-performance radar systems globally.

As defense modernization programs gain traction and geopolitical flashpoints trigger heightened security concerns, governments are ramping up procurement of radar systems that can be rapidly deployed on land, air, naval, and space platforms. Furthermore, space surveillance is growing in strategic relevance with the proliferation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and anti-satellite weapon testing. Surveillance radars are being integrated with command and control (C2) infrastructures to bolster target identification, persistent tracking, and autonomous threat analysis. However, high development costs, integration challenges with legacy systems, and vulnerability to sophisticated electronic warfare techniques are some of the factors restraining seamless adoption across budget-constrained regions.

Regionally, North America leads the global landscape, backed by strong investments from the U.S. Department of Defense and active deployment of radar systems across homeland security, missile defense, and aerospace surveillance missions. The region benefits from an advanced industrial base and a dense network of radar-integrated systems across airfields, coastlines, and space surveillance hubs. Meanwhile, Europe is witnessing a significant boost in radar deployments driven by NATO-wide surveillance collaborations, cross-border air defense networks, and the rise in autonomous security solutions. In the Asia Pacific region, rising defense budgets, border disputes, and large-scale modernization projects in countries such as India, China, South Korea, and Japan are anticipated to generate robust growth. Simultaneously, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are experiencing a gradual uptick in radar deployment for anti-narcotic operations, port surveillance, and critical infrastructure protection.
