Synthetic aperture radar in space sector market refers to the space and ground-based SARs that function on the principle of transmission and reception of the reflected signals, which interact with the ground and aid in the imaging, tracking, detection, and characterization. SAR finds significant applications over the conventional electro optical (EO) imaging systems, primarily, owing to microwaves being able to penetrate through clouds and provide consistent weather data efficiently for 24 hours.

Market Dynamics

Increasing participation of emerging economies in space industry is key factor driving growth of market. According to Coherent Market Insights, global spending in space programs has escalated over US$ 60 billion in 2016 from around US$ 44 billion in 2014. Some of the major economies in the global space industry include the U.S., Germany, France, the U.K., Italy, Russia, China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Brazil. All these economies invest around or over US$ 500 million annually. Multi-satellite constellation programs, advent of commercial applications that include, environmental monitoring, disaster management, and natural resource exploration are projected to witness strong growth demand over the forecast period. For instance, Capella program in North America, Iceye X projects in Finland, Constellation of Small Satellites for Mediterranean basin observation (COSMO-SkyMed) in Italy, OptiSAR Radar constellation in Canada are among the major earth observation projects that are expected to fuel the overall growth of the SAR in space sector market over the forecast period.
