Surveillance Radar Market Revenue Growth Supported By A CAGR Of $15.75 Through 2030
The surveillance radar market size is projected to experience substantial expansion over the next few years, reaching $15.76 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. This anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding civil aviation networks which increase the demand for advanced surveillance radars, the adoption of solid-state power amplifiers and next-generation digital receivers for improved reliability, the rising integration of radar data with automated air traffic management systems, the development of multi-sensor surveillance solutions that combine radar with optical and automatic dependent surveillance systems, and the increasing need for high-resolution, low-maintenance radar systems to support operations in congested airspace. Key trends during this period involve an increasing demand for multi-mission surveillance radars, the growing adoption of solid-state radar technologies, an expanded deployment of long-range ground-based surveillance systems, the integration of advanced signal processing for enhanced accuracy, and an expansion of both maritime and airborne surveillance radar installations.
Future expansion of the surveillance radar market is anticipated to be driven by rising military spending. This expenditure signifies the financial resources a nation allocates for establishing and sustaining its armed forces or other vital defense initiatives. The primary catalysts for this rise in military spending are the modernization and infrastructure development efforts within defense services. Higher military outlays stimulate the research, development, and acquisition of sophisticated surveillance technologies, consequently fostering technological progress and market expansion within the surveillance sector. As an illustration, figures from October 2025, provided by the UK Parliament’s House of Commons Library, a government body in the UK, indicate that defense spending detailed in the 2025 Spending Review is projected to reach USD 83.3 billion (£62.2 billion) in 2025/26. This is expected to climb to USD 98.2 billion (£73.5 billion) by 2028/29, representing an average annual real-terms growth rate of 3.8% during this timeframe. Consequently, the expanding military expenditure is a key factor propelling the growth of the surveillance radar market.

Surveillance Radar Market Development Factors: Which Trends Are Supporting Demand?
Leading firms within the surveillance radar sector are focusing on creating advanced systems, notably drone detection radar, in response to increasing dangers from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This specialized radar system, known as drone detection radar, is specifically engineered to identify and monitor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), often called drones, within a defined airspace. As an illustration, during September 2023, Blighter Surveillance Systems, a security system provider based in the UK, introduced an economical variant of its Blighter B400 Series Doppler ground surveillance radar, aimed particularly at the critical infrastructure market, which encompasses locations such as airports. This updated radar delivers the advantages of solid-state e-scan technology at a reduced cost per square kilometer compared to previously available alternatives. Optimized for perimeter security, it supports the integration of numerous radars and cameras, facilitating advanced alert mechanisms and the establishment of exclusion zones. Its design is crafted to maximize the detection of small, slow-moving objects even amidst busy surroundings, rendering it highly suitable for safeguarding critical infrastructure.
