Growing air traffic to raise product demand is driving market growth
Market CAGR for aviation weather RADAR is being driven by the rising air traffic to increase product demand. The cost of travel has significantly decreased due to lower fuel prices for aircraft, which has increased air traffic. For flight safety reasons, increasing air traffic necessitates weather forecasting, which raises the demand for weather information RADAR. The aviation sector has been successfully delivering improved services while ensuring the safety of aircraft and passengers thanks to the adoption of technology and upgrades to current aircraft. The existing fleet has been modified to ensure efficiency with the introduction of technology as a result of the rise in aviation costs. Airlines are purchasing newer generation airplanes and updating the existing ones with their disposable funds. The aviation weather RADAR market is expanding due to how simple and convenient flying is.
Additionally, Weather RADAR has been in high demand in the military and defense sectors. It is related to the military aircraft that need a high level of weather detection and situation. The increased use of airplanes for diverse reasons is a direct result of many countries’ military expenditures being expedited due to threats to national security. Moreover, it is predicted that weather forecasting would be necessary during military operations and drills as a preventative measure to ensure a safe flight and the safety of the pilot or other passengers. The trend of militarization is pushing governments to equip their aircraft with weather RADAR.
In order to support weather forecasting and warning systems, military operations and disaster management, governments around the world are investing in the installation of weather surveillance radars.
For instance, in April 2022, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) budget was boosted by the US government by around USD 450 million. The administration plans to ask NOAA for USD 1 billion in 2023 to extend the organization’s climate information services and quicken the development of the agency’s next-generation weather observation systems. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for aviation weather RADAR will increase due to the rising air traffic to increase the product demand. Thus driving the Aviation Weather RADAR market revenue.
Aviation Weather RADAR Type Insights
The Aviation Weather RADAR market segmentation, based on type, includes doppler weather radar and wind profiler. The doppler weather radar segment dominated the market, accounting for the maximum of market revenue. A wave’s frequency changes as it moves away from the observer, and this is known as the Doppler Effect. The velocity and direction of rain, snow, hail, and other types of precipitation can be determined using Doppler weather radar.
Aviation Weather RADAR Application Insights
The Aviation Weather RADAR market segmentation, based on application, includes commercial aviation, military aviation, and general aviation. The military aviation category generated the most income due to rising geopolitical tensions worldwide, increasing demand for advanced aircraft in this sector with advanced capabilities, and ongoing military modernization programs aimed at procuring advanced aircraft globally. The manufacturers have created sophisticated aviation weather radars for planes that are positioned on the military aircraft’s nose and give them an advantage to quickly plan their next move in the event of bad weather. For Instance Pulse-Doppler radar systems have recently been installed in military aircraft all around the world.
Aviation Weather RADAR End-User Insights
The Aviation Weather RADAR market segmentation, based on end-users, includes airports and aircraft. The aircraft segment has generated the most income due to the rising demand for improved situational awareness and safety in the aviation sector. The total amount of money made from the selling of aircraft weather radar systems around the world is referred to as aircraft weather radar system sales. An active remote sensing device known as an aviation weather radar system uses radio waves to identify and monitor precipitation, thunderstorms, hail, and other sorts of atmospheric activity.
