#Air And Missile Defense Radar Market Size And Revenue Forecast Through 2030
The air and missile defense radar market has experienced robust expansion in recent years. This market is expected to grow from $13.87 billion in 2025 to $14.92 billion in 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. Historically, this growth can be ascribed to several factors: the increasing deployment of early-generation ballistic missile defense systems, heightened military spending for improving radar-based situational awareness, the adoption of 2D and 3D radars for fleet modernization initiatives, the escalating threat of regional missile proliferation influencing procurement cycles, and advancements in phased-array radar architectures.
The air and missile defense radar market is projected to experience robust growth in the coming years. By 2030, its size is anticipated to reach $19.86 billion, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. This expansion during the forecast period is driven by factors such as the broadening of integrated air and missile defense modernization initiatives, a heightened demand for space-borne radars to enhance global threat detection, the increasing uptake of multi-mission radars featuring improved target discrimination, accelerated R&D investments in next-generation gallium nitride (GAN)-based radar systems, and a growing emphasis on interoperability across allied defense radar networks. Significant trends foreseen during this period include the expanding adoption of multi-mission radar platforms, a rise in demand for long-range ballistic missile detection, advancements in phased-array radar technologies, the integration of space-borne radars for extended situational awareness, and the increasing deployment of mobile and modular air defense radar units.

Air And Missile Defense Radar Market Expansion Supported By Key Demand Factors
The worldwide rise in military expenditure is propelling the air and missile defense radar market forward. Military expenditure refers to the funds allocated for sustaining an armed force or other forms of defense, which is identified as a military expenditure plan (or military expense) and constitutes a portion of a country’s defense budget. As nations escalate their spending on military and defense, they are investing in cutting-edge technologies like air and missile defense radars to enhance their ability to detect and intercept impending threats. In military contexts, fighter aircraft equipped with radar are utilized to track and manage air-to-air missiles, rockets, and guns. For instance, in April 2024, based on an analysis by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a Sweden-based research institute focused on global security, in 2023, the total global military spending reached $2.443 trillion, representing a 6.8 percent increase in real terms compared to 2022. Consequently, the increasing military spending globally is a key driver for the air and missile defense radar market.
