by Synthetic aperture radar is a type of radar that is used for earth observation and surface monitoring. It uses antennas and signal processing techniques to generate high-resolution images of the observed scene. Due to their advantages over optic cameras including ability to capture images day-and-night and through clouds, SAR has found widespread adoption.
The global Synthetic Aperture Radar Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.69 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increased funding and focus towards defense-based applications have significantly fueled adoption of synthetic aperture radars. SAR technology enables capabilities like surface mapping and monitoring even in adverse weather or lighting conditions. This has led militaries around the world to increasingly invest in procurement and development of advanced SAR systems for applications ranging from maritime surveillance to border security monitoring. Growing defense budgets especially in Asia Pacific and Middle East are expected to further propel the synthetic aperture radar market over the coming years.
SWOT Analysis
