Electronically Scanned Arrays Market: By Type (Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) and Passive Electronically Scanned Array (PESA)), By Component (Transmit receive module, Phase shifters, Beamforming network, Signal processing, Radar data processor, Power supply module, and Others), By Geometry (Planar Array, Linear Array, and Frequency Scanning Array), By Range (Short range, Medium Range, and Long Range), By Platform (Air, Marine, and Land), and Geography  

Electronically Scanned Arrays Market size was valued at USD 7,974.5 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 8.2% from 2024-2030. An electronically scanned array is a type of phased array antenna that is controlled by a computer array antenna in which the beam of radio waves can be electronically steered to point in different directions. There are two types of electronically scanned arrays active electronically scanned arrays (AESA) and passive electronically scanned arrays (PESA). The major difference between an AESA and a PESA radar is the number of transmitters. A PESA system has one large transmitter, while AESA systems have multiple TRMs. It gives greater reliability, smaller size and weight, and a lower threat of being detected due to the use of multiple TRMs.

The increasing number of radar upgradation contracts and new product launches by global key players will drive the market worldwide. Along with that, the significant increase in defense modernization with electronic detection and warfare capabilities is flourishing the global electronically scanned arrays market. Various applications such as safeguarding the national borders, fetching real-time information, and drone-based surveillance will increase the electronically scanned arrays market demand in the global market. Nowadays, Artificial intelligence, Virtual reality, and Augmented reality are anticipated to contribute to advanced technology in this market. Moreover, geopolitical instability and wars between countries are boosting global electronically scanned arrays market growth through massive investments in the defense sector. For instance, some geopolitical conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the India-Pakistan dispute, the US-China dispute, the China-India dispute, and the China-Taiwan dispute. However, restricting trade policies of defense equipment and technologies, stringent rules, and regulations of sales of these products, and import and export restrictions can hamper the overall growth in the global market. Based on geography, North America is dominating the global electronically scanned arrays market and is expected to maintain growth in the forecasted years.

Electronically Scanned Arrays Market Key Developments:
