The First Year

The global military radar systems market is drawing considerable attention from defence planners, technology developers and investors alike. According to recent analysis by (MRFR), the market is projected to reach USD 27.3 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7.2% between 2024–2032.  In this context, radar technologies are no longer simply peripheral defence assets—they are central to modern situational awareness, missile detection, and multi-domain operations. For governments worldwide, the impetus to modernise legacy systems, integrate next-generation sensors and respond to emerging threats is propelling growth.

Industry Overview

Military radar systems serve as the eyes and ears of modern armed forces, leveraging radio-wave technologies to detect range, angle, and velocity of objects. The landscape covers airborne, naval, land and space-based platforms. According to MRFR, the market’s expansion is underpinned by heightened defence budgets, rising geopolitical tensions and demand for long-range systems.  Also, the shift from older 2D…

Technology underpins much of the growth in MEVs. The MRFR report mentions:

• Battery & energy storage advancements: More energy-dense batteries, faster charging, modular/swappable designs are key. 

• Propulsion and electric drivetrain improvements: Electric motors, hybrid systems optimized for marine conditions.

• Autonomy & unmanned systems: AUVs and USVs require advanced sensors, navigation and remote control systems—these are enabled by electric vehicle platforms.

• Infrastructure integration: Charging/fuelling networks at marinas, ports and for underwater craft.

The Commercial Aircraft Health Monitoring Systems Market is not only growing but evolving. MRFR highlights several key trends shaping the space. One of the major trends is the shift from reactive maintenance to predictive/condition-based maintenance (CBM). Rather than waiting for failures, airlines and MROs are leveraging health monitoring systems to forecast maintenance needs in advance (the prognostic category) which promotes higher safety and lower operating cost.

 Another trend is the expanding scope of monitoring systems. Previously, health monitoring might have focused principally on engines and propulsion; now it increasingly covers structure, avionics, landing gear, hydraulics, and other subsystems. 

 Digitalization is also a clear trend: the use of sensors, IoT, big data analytics, AI/ML is enabling real-time streaming of aircraft health data to ground stations, allowing for quicker decision making. 

 Environmental and efficiency pressures are influencing the market. Airlines aim to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and downtime — health monitoring is…

Sustainability is becoming a key focus in the development of airport IT systems. Airports are adopting green technologies to reduce their carbon footprint and promote environmental responsibility. Energy-efficient lighting, renewable energy sources, and eco-friendly materials are being incorporated into airport infrastructure. Moreover, the implementation of smart systems that monitor and manage energy consumption contributes to sustainable operations. As environmental regulations tighten and public awareness grows, sustainability will continue to drive innovation in airport IT systems.

Key Trends

• Adoption of biometric systems for seamless passenger flow.

• Implementation of real-time data analytics for operational efficiency.

• Rise of smart airports and IoT-enabled infrastructure.
