X- band radar is widely used in many sectors for target detection. Increase in the study of climate and weather predictions is driving the global X-Band radar market. It can help in identifying potential threats such as tornadoes, high winds, intense rains, and local storms. X-band radar is applied in aviation safety as it is highly efficient in operating air transport industry. Also increasing need for advanced security and surveillance system worldwide drives the market growth. The only factor that restraint the growth of the market is target limit capability of X-band radar. Recently in January 2022, Indian Meteorological Department launched two Doppler weather radars to improve the weather forecast. X- band Polarimetric DWRs and X-band DWR at New Delhi and Chennai.
According to Coherent market Insights, the global X-Band Radar Market was valued at US$ 5,673.88 Mn in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 8,262.91 Mn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2022 and 2030.
