Aircraft Radome Market Analysis
The Aircraft Radome Market was valued at USD 475 million in 2020, and it is projected to reach USD 818 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 7.39% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
There was a slump in demand for commercial aircraft in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the global passenger traffic estimated to take 2-3 years to fully recover, the demand for commercial aircraft is expected to be less in the first half of the forecast period, which is expected to hamper the demand for commercial aircraft radomes during the forecast period.
The demand for radomes from the business jets segment is expected to recover faster than the commercial aviation sector, as the business jet demand is projected to recover earlier as compared to the commercial aircraft. On the other hand, with the military aircraft demand showing resilience compared to the commercial and general aviation segments, the demand for radomes from the military segment showcased growth even in 2020.
With the demand for more efficient radomes, manufacturers are expected to invest in new materials for radomes. The demand for aircraft radome with quartz fiber is increasing from both the commercial and the military end-users across the globe. The development of newer generation AESA radars in military aircraft is also expected to drive the development of radomes with better capabilities.
Aircraft Radome Industry Segmentation
Radome serves as a structural enclosure that protects the radar system. The nose cones of an aircraft often serve as radomes, and they are constructed with specific materials, like fiberglass, quartz, honeycomb, and foam cores, that can protect sensitive instruments while allowing electronic signals to pass through. Radomes used on Helicopters and UAVs are excluded from the purview of the report. The aircraft radome market is segmented by application into commercial aircraft, military aircraft, and business jets. The report also offers the market size and forecasts for the aircraft radome market in major countries across all the regions. For each segment, the market size and forecasts are represented by value (USD million).
