Description

Weather Radar Market Size:

The weather radar market is expected to grow from USD 179.010 million in 2025 to USD 226.404 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 4.81%.

A weather radar is an instrument that determines the weather intensity by sending electromagnetic pulses into the atmosphere. The instrument is majorly used in depicting weather results for military, aviation, and meteorology applications. Growing climatic fluctuations resulting from human activities have created extreme climatic conditions such as heavy rainfall which has positively impacted the demand for weather radars in countries where climate change has become a major issue. According to the India Meteorological Department, in 2021, the annual rainfall in the country averaged over 105% of its long-period average. Furthermore, the growing technological innovations and developments in weather forecasting are also expected to push the market demand for weather radar, thereby propelling the overall market growth during the forecast period.

Weather Radar Market Segmentation Analysis:

Based on application, the weather radar market is segmented into military, aviation, and meteorology & hydrology. Meteorology & hydrology is expected to hold a market share of XX% in the weather radar market and is projected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The high-quality data provided by weather radar is used in determining various weather aspects such as rainfall and precipitation among others. With the growing danger of natural disasters such as storms, floods, and hurricanes among others, the demand for effective weather forecast systems has shown a significant increase resulting in major activities such as product innovations, launches, and the development of weather radars. For instance, in June 2022, India Meteorological announced to purchase of 11 doppler weather radars to improve the country’s ability in forecasting extreme weather events such as thunderstorms and rainfall at local levels. The department is aiming to install 60 doppler weather radars in different locations across the country by 2024-2025. Moreover, in December 2022, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia jointly purchased a weather radar system for providing better weather forecasting in North Georgia where severe weather has formed a consistent threat to people. Moreover, in September 2019, China installed its first C-band phased array meteorological radar system in its Jiangsu Province as per China Meteorological Administration is the most frequent tornado-hit region in China.

Product approval and high demand for better weather forecasting solutions for the civil and air force are expected to boost the market demand for weather radars. Weather radar finds major applicability in the aviation sector both civil and air force as it enables the pilot in assessing the convective weather lying ahead of the aircraft that can cause severe turbulence. The growing aerospace sector has positively impacted the demand for more efficient weather monitoring radar systems, thereby leading to new product approvals. For instance, in November 2022, AVIC Leihua Electronic Technology Research Institute and Collins Aerospace announced that the companies received TSO certification from Federal Aviation Administration for COMAC’s C919 Weather Radar Flat Plate Antenna which will be manufactured and used in civil aircraft. Furthermore, the growing spending on military aircraft has also created an urge to equip them with improved weather radar systems which have led to agreement establishments between the country's air force authority and major providers of such solution. For instance, EWR Radar Systems, in March 2020, entered into a US$20.7 million contract with the Digital Directorate of the Air Force Aerospace Management Systems Division, in which the company would provide 22 portable doppler radars which will enable the US air force in better forecasting of the structure of severe weather.
