The global surface radar market size is expected to reach USD 28.98 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Surface Radar Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Platform, Component (Hardware and Software), Range, Application, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) - Market Forecast, 2025-2034" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Surface radar is a radar system used to detect, track, and monitor objects on or near the Earth's surface, such as vehicles, ships, and aircraft.
The surface radar market is growing due to rising demand for short-range radar. Short-range radar systems have become increasingly popular for tactical and urban operations. These radars are especially useful in situations such as border security, military operations in cities, and counter-drone activities. They help track nearby vehicles, drones, and other potential threats in real time, offering improved situational awareness in smaller, confined areas. The demand for these systems is growing because they provide immediate, high-precision monitoring, which is essential in fast-moving, high-risk scenarios. As urban warfare and border security concerns grow, the need for reliable short-range radar systems continues to rise, thereby driving market expansion.
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into surface radar systems is transforming how data is analyzed and utilized. AI and ML help identify patterns, predict threats, and automate decision-making by processing large amounts of radar data. This integration improves the efficiency and effectiveness of radar systems in real time, enabling faster response times and improved threat assessment. These emerging technologies improve radar capabilities, making them more valuable across sectors like defense, surveillance, and security. This, in turn, results in increased demand for surface radar systems and fuels the surface radar market development.
Based on component, the hardware dominated the surface radar market in 2024 as hardware is the critical component of radar technology.
By range, the short range segment is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period due to rising demand for short range surface radar, driven by rising urban tensions.
North America dominated the global market in 2024 due to strong investments in defense, security, and technological advancements.
The Asia Pacific surface radar market is expected to record a significant share during the forecast period, driven by rising security concerns and significant defense spending.
A few of the key market players are Aselsan A.S.; Bae Systems; Bharat Electronics Limited; Elbit Systems Ltd; Hensoldt; Israel Aerospace Industries; L3harris Technologies, Inc.; Leonardo S.P.A.; Lockheed Martin Corporation; Northrop Grumman; RTX; and Thales.
