The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of automotive safety features, enhanced safety and security, improved efficiency and enhanced situational awareness, development of smart cities, and growing focus on disaster management.

The doppler radar market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for precise weather forecasting, growing aviation safety concerns, rising investments in defense and surveillance systems, increasing investments in defense and security, and rising demand for remote sensing. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in technology, sustainability initiatives, use of AI technology in radar manufacturing, rising demand for ground-based systems, and urbanization and infrastructure development.

The growth of the Doppler radar market is expected to be driven by the rising military and surveillance expenditures. Military expenditure refers to the financial resources allocated by a country for the development and maintenance of its armed forces and defense measures. The growth in military spending is primarily driven by the modernization and infrastructure development of defense services. This increased spending supports the research, development, and procurement of advanced radar and surveillance technologies, leading to improvements in offerings. For example, in August 2024, USAFacts, a US-based non-profit organization, reported that the US military's expenditure in 2023 was approximately $820.3 billion, accounting for about 13.3% of the total federal budget for that fiscal year. For 2024, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested $842 billion, marking a 2.6% increase.

Key players in the Doppler radar market are innovating by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to improve radar performance and precision. AI-enhanced Doppler radar systems use machine learning to analyze complex data more effectively, leading to better weather forecasting and real-time threat detection. For instance, in June 2022, Vaisala, a Finnish environmental monitoring company, introduced its C-band weather radar technology. This system provides high-performance weather surveillance, intelligent early warning features, and improved data accuracy through advanced AI algorithms, enhancing the detection of severe weather and offering superior spatial resolution.

In June 2022, Renesas Electronics, a semiconductor manufacturing company based in Japan, acquired Steradian Semiconductors Private Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Renesas Electronics to expand its portfolio of automotive radar solutions and enhance its position in the radar market. Steradian Semiconductors Private Limited, based in India, is a manufacturer specializing in advanced radar solutions, particularly 4D imaging radar systems.

Doppler radar is a radar system that measures the velocity of objects by analyzing changes in the frequency or wavelength of radar waves reflected off moving targets. This technique enables the radar to detect motion and speed and is used in weather forecasting to track storm systems and in law enforcement to measure vehicle speeds.

The main types of Doppler radar systems include pulse-Doppler radar, ground-based Doppler radar, naval Doppler radar, and airborne Doppler radar. Pulse-Doppler radar combines pulse radar and Doppler radar techniques. Technologies used in these systems include coherent pulsed (CP), continuous wave (CW), and frequency modulation (FM). The primary end-users of Doppler radar systems include military and defense, aviation, space, and marine sectors.
