Military Antenna Global Market Report 2024

The military antenna market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.39 billion in 2023 to $3.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The historical period's growth can be ascribed to factors such as security and encryption, swift deployment capability, the utilization of advanced materials, and integration with satellite communication. Additionally, the adaptation to electronic warfare has played a significant role in driving this growth.

The military antenna market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.16 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to several factors, including the increase in unmanned systems, a heightened focus on cognitive radio technology, the development of directed energy weapons, a rising demand for satellite communication, and enhanced cybersecurity measures. Prominent trends in the forecast period encompass cybersecurity and secure communication, emphasis on stealth and low observability, the utilization of wideband and multiband antennas, a push towards miniaturization and portability, and adaptation to electronic warfare.

The anticipated increase in military sector investments is poised to drive the growth of the military antenna market. The military sector, encompassing research and development, production, and supply of equipment to armed forces, is witnessing substantial investment and collaboration with defense organizations. This collaboration focuses on advancing military equipment and communications, including antennas, to enhance tactical communication and support information warfare applications such as signal intelligence, direction finding, and military surveillance. This enables the provision of portable and reliable communication capabilities in challenging environments. For instance, in March 2022, the United States Air Force entered a $176 million contract with BAE Systems for software-defined radios under its Airborne High-Frequency Radio Modernization (AHFRM) program. BAE Systems plc, a UK-based company, is involved in arms, security, and aerospace. Additionally, in September 2021, Babcock International Group plc secured a £110 million deal with the UK armed forces to deliver the Defense Strategic Radio Service (DSRS) for critical military operations. Therefore, the increasing investment in the military sector is a key driver for the military antenna market.

The growing deployment of military satellites is expected to fuel the expansion of the military antenna market. Military satellites, utilized for communication, navigation, and intelligence gathering, are playing an increasingly crucial role in military functions. The rising use of military satellites is expected to drive the demand for military antennas, enhancing communication and data transmission capabilities. For example, in October 2023, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation launched three rockets with military satellites from the Plesetsk space center, marking a series of launches aimed at bolstering satellite capabilities. Furthermore, the successful deployment of 55 spacecraft into orbit resulted from 13 space rocket launches overseen by experts from the Titov Main Test Space Center. Hence, the increasing deployment of military satellites is a significant factor driving the growth of the military antenna market.

Product innovations are emerging as a key trend in the military antenna market, with major companies focusing on introducing innovative products to maintain their market positions. In June 2022, PPM Systems, a UK-based antenna manufacturing company, introduced the ARA-252-201 antenna designed for communication applications. This dual-port, omnidirectional, multiband antenna, when installed atop a vehicle, features three collocated apertures for optimal performance and a small installation footprint. The antenna's design accommodates separate channels for the low and high bands, catering to various applications, including UHF, WNW Software Defined Radio (SDR), and HF/SINCGARS communications. The gain has been calibrated for 360° azimuth and -10° to +10° elevation with less than 1.5 dB of fluctuation. Moreover, the antenna has a 125-watt CW power rating for both bands.

Major companies in the military antenna market are strategically focusing on product launches to drive revenues. In October 2023, Kymeta Corporation, a US-based company specializing in satellite communication and flat-panel antenna technology, introduced the Osprey u8 HGL. This comprehensive and adaptable system is easy to install on various military vehicles and watercraft. The Osprey u8 HGL antenna, with its low profile, low power consumption, high availability, and durability, offers configurable multi-orbit capabilities, supporting modern warfare needs. It is designed to deliver reliable, auto-PACE-ready communications, featuring no moving parts and complete electronic steering for applications requiring mobility. With a hybrid geostationary/low Earth orbit (GEO/LEO) design, the Osprey u8 HGL antenna provides improved military application capabilities through LTE, LEO, and GEO connectivity.

In August 2022, HEICO Corporation, a US-based aerospace and electronics company, acquired Sensor Systems Inc., a US-based antenna manufacturing company, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move underscores HEICO's commitment to expanding its presence in the military antenna market and offering cutting-edge antenna systems capable of handling the increasing capabilities and complexity of military UAVs in applications such as targeting, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
