Coherent Radar Market Value Analysis: What Growth Lies Ahead Over The Forecast Period?
The coherent radar market has experienced robust expansion in recent years. Forecasts indicate it will rise from $8.92 billion in 2025 to $9.75 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. Historically, this growth is attributable to various factors, including advancements in coherent signal processing that have improved radar accuracy and reliability. Also contributing are the increased adoption of coherent radars by defense and aerospace for surveillance and target tracking, along with the expansion of weather monitoring programs necessitating high-precision doppler radar systems. Further drivers include a surge in maritime safety regulations, which has boosted demand for coherent marine radars, and the growing number of ground-based radar installations supporting national security and air-traffic control.
The coherent radar market size is anticipated to experience robust expansion over the next few years, projected to reach $13.76 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. This growth during the forecast period is attributable to several factors, including the increasing integration of AI and advanced analytics to enhance coherent radar detection capabilities, the growing deployment of compact coherent radars in unmanned aerial vehicles, the expansion of climate and environmental monitoring initiatives that require high-resolution radar data, a rising demand for multifunction coherent radar platforms across various defense modernization programs, and continuous innovation in solid-state radar technologies, which enable improved performance and reduced lifecycle costs. Significant trends expected in the forecast period include the increasing adoption of software-defined radar systems, the integration of multi-function radar for air defense purposes, a rising demand for real-time air traffic control radar, the expansion of maritime surveillance and coastal monitoring operations, and the development of dual-polarization weather radar for more accurate forecasting.

Coherent Radar Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The expansion of air traffic is anticipated to fuel the progress of the coherent radar market moving forward. Air traffic encompasses the movement of aircraft within the airspace, covering diverse flight types such as commercial airliners, private jets, helicopters, and military aircraft. A coherent radar system employs a continuous wave signal alongside advanced signal processing techniques to deliver high-quality and precise radar information. Its utility is particularly notable in air traffic control, where it can accurately detect and track aircraft, even amidst challenging weather conditions. With air traffic volume rising steadily over time, there has been an increased demand for more sophisticated radar systems to manage the greater number of aircraft. For example, in April 2023, the International Air Transport Association, a Canada-based trade association, reported that in February 2023, the total traffic (measured in RPKs) saw a 55.5% increase compared to the corresponding month in 2022, while domestic traffic for February 2023 grew by 25.2% against February 2022 figures. Consequently, the growing air traffic volume is stimulating the expansion of the coherent radar market.

Coherent Radar Market Trends: What’s Defining The Industry’s Next Phase?
Leading companies in the coherent radar market are concentrating on developing A121 sensor-based radar solutions for applications such as detecting people’s presence, motion tracking, and level measurement across various environments. The A121 sensor functions as a 60 GHz radar system, leveraging pulsed coherent radar (PCR) technology, which is noted for its high precision, ultra-low power consumption, and compact form. For example, in March 2023, Acconeer AB, a Sweden-based innovator specializing in small, cost-effective, and low-power mmWave radar sensors, unveiled the XM125 Entry+ Module, the initial radar module to incorporate the A121 sensor. This module is engineered for reduced system costs and straightforward integration into mass-produced products, with the XE125 evaluation kit supporting accelerated product development.
