Marine Radar Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026 - 2035
The Global Marine Radar Market was valued at USD 1.98 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% to reach USD 3.48 billion by 2035.
Rising seaborne trade volumes and growing vessel congestion are increasing the need for reliable navigation and surveillance systems. Heightened awareness around maritime accidents in heavily trafficked waterways is encouraging greater investment in advanced radar solutions. Continuous innovation in radar technology is accelerating upgrade cycles, while aging commercial and defense fleets are driving replacement demand. Solid-state radar solutions are increasingly favored due to their durability, operational stability, and reduced maintenance needs. Marine radar systems are now more frequently integrated with electronic charting platforms and vessel identification technologies to improve situational awareness. Expansion of vessel traffic monitoring services is supporting demand for coastal and shore-based radar installations. Growing focus on navigational accuracy in poor visibility conditions is further improving radar performance standards. Fleet modernization initiatives are also contributing to sustained demand for radar replacements.

The X-band segment held a 44% share in 2025 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2026 to 2035. These systems are widely used for navigation support, collision avoidance, and operational control over short to medium ranges. International maritime regulations mandate radar installation on vessels exceeding 300 gross tons, reinforcing segment demand.
The antenna segment accounted for 35% share in 2025 and will grow at a CAGR of 5.3% through 2035. Antennas represent a major share of radar maintenance expenditure, as performance accuracy, detection range, and resolution heavily depend on antenna quality across commercial and fishing fleets.
United States Marine Radar Market held an 88% share and reached USD 574.5 million in 2025. High adoption across commercial shipping, naval operations, and recreational boating, combined with strict maritime safety standards and dense coastal traffic, continues to support ongoing demand for modern radar systems.
Key companies operating in the Global Marine Radar Market include Garmin, Furuno Electric, Raytheon RTX, Kongsberg Gruppen, Raymarine, Navico, Hensoldt, Sperry Marine, JRC Nisshinbo, and Terma. Companies in the Marine Radar Market are strengthening their competitive position by investing heavily in solid-state radar innovation and enhanced signal processing capabilities. Strategic product upgrades focused on higher resolution, improved target detection, and seamless system integration are a core priority. Manufacturers are expanding their aftermarket and service offerings to capture recurring revenue from maintenance and replacement cycles. Partnerships with shipbuilders and fleet operators are helping firms secure long-term supply agreements.
