Surveillance Radar Market Forecast to Reach USD 22.9 Billion by 2031, Driven by Defense Readiness and Border Monitoring Needs - Mordor Intelligence

Report Overview

According to Mordor Intelligence, the Surveillance Radar market is valued at USD 14.04 billion in 2026 and is expected to grow consistently through 2031, supported by defense modernization programs, border monitoring needs, and wider adoption of advanced radar architectures.

Growth Drivers Shaping the Surveillance Radar Market

Shift Toward Software-Defined and Electronically Scanned Radar Systems: The Surveillance Radar Market is undergoing a significant transformation as defense agencies increasingly prioritize adaptable, software-driven radar solutions. Traditional mechanically steered radars are being phased out in favor of electronically scanned array (ESA) systems, including active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars. These modern systems provide faster beam steering, simultaneous multi-target tracking, and higher reliability due to fewer moving parts.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence for Enhanced Target Detection: Another major trend shaping the Surveillance Radar Market Industry is the growing incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. AI-enabled radar systems enhance target identification, classification, and tracking accuracy by processing large volumes of data in real time. These systems can distinguish between genuine threats and background clutter such as weather effects, terrain reflections, or non-threat civilian objects.

Expanding Role of Radar in Border and Homeland Security: Border surveillance is emerging as a key driver of Surveillance Radar Market Growth, extending radar applications beyond traditional military domains. Governments worldwide are deploying land-based, mobile, and coastal radar systems to enhance border security, monitor illegal crossings, and counter smuggling and trafficking activities. These systems play a crucial role in safeguarding national infrastructure such as ports, airports, pipelines, and energy facilities.
