Coherent Radar Market Revenue Growth Supported By A CAGR Of $13.75 Through 2030
The coherent radar market has witnessed significant expansion in recent years. It is anticipated to grow from $8.92 billion in 2025 to $9.75 billion by 2026, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. This historical growth can be attributed to several factors, including enhancements in coherent signal processing that improve radar accuracy and reliability, increased adoption of coherent radars for surveillance and target tracking within defense and aerospace sectors, the expansion of weather monitoring programs necessitating high-precision Doppler radar systems, stricter maritime safety regulations stimulating demand for coherent marine radars, and the rise in ground-based radar installations supporting national security and air-traffic control.
The coherent radar market size is anticipated to experience significant growth over the coming years. This sector is projected to reach $13.76 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. This growth during the forecast period can be primarily attributed to the increasing incorporation of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to enhance coherent radar detection capabilities, the rising deployment of compact coherent radars in unmanned aerial vehicles, the broadening of climate and environmental monitoring initiatives that require high-resolution radar data, the escalating need for multifunction coherent radar platforms within defense modernization programs, and ongoing advancements in solid-state radar technologies that facilitate improved performance and reduced lifecycle costs. Key trends expected throughout this period include the increasing embrace of software-defined radar systems, the integration of multi-function radar for air defense applications, a heightened need for real-time air traffic control radar, the enlargement of maritime surveillance and coastal monitoring efforts, and the creation of dual-polarization weather radar for more accurate forecasting.

#Coherent Radar Market Growth Factors: Which Forces Are Supporting Market Expansion?
The coherent radar market is expected to grow as air traffic increases. Air traffic involves the movement of various aircraft, such as commercial airliners, private planes, helicopters, and military aircraft, within the airspace. Coherent radar systems utilize continuous wave signals and advanced signal processing to deliver high-quality and precise radar information. These systems are particularly valuable in air traffic control, accurately detecting and tracking aircraft even in adverse weather conditions. The continuous rise in air traffic over the years has led to a greater need for more advanced radar systems to manage the higher volume of aircraft. For example, in April 2023, the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based trade association, reported that in February 2023, total traffic (measured in RPKs) saw a 55.5% increase compared to the same month in 2022, and domestic traffic for February 2023 grew by 25.2% compared to February 2022. Thus, the expansion of air traffic is a primary factor driving the growth of the coherent radar market.
