The rising defense expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the antenna, transducer, and radome market in the coming years. Defense expenditure encompasses current and capital spending on armed forces, including peacekeeping troops, defense ministries, and other government agencies involved in defense programs. Such expenditure supports the procurement of antennas, transducers, and radomes through investments in aircraft, ships, submarines, guided missiles, engines, and related components. For example, in April 2024, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an international institute based in Stockholm, reported that global military spending reached approximately $2.44 trillion in 2023, marking a 6.8% increase from the previous year. Consequently, rising defense spending is fueling the growth of the antenna, transducer, and radome market.

The antenna, transducer, and radome market is witnessing a trend toward innovative radome designs that enhance connectivity, support diverse IoT applications, and ensure reliable wireless performance across various environments. Advances in radome design improve antenna efficiency, durability, and integration into multiple devices while preserving signal quality. For instance, in March 2024, Quectel, a China-based IoT solutions provider, launched a series of high-performance antennas, including 5G, GNSS, and 5-in-1 combo models. These antennas are designed to deliver robust connectivity across a wide range of IoT applications, featuring innovative designs that meet the increasing demand for efficient, reliable, and versatile wireless communication solutions.

In May 2024, Thales, a France-based aerospace and defense company, acquired Get SAT for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Thales seeks to expand its aerospace antenna portfolio by broadening product offerings for defense, civil aeronautics, and emergency services applications. Get SAT is an Israel-based designer and manufacturer of antennas focused on satellite communications for both manned and unmanned aerospace applications.
