Global Electronically Scanned Array Market Size study & Forecast, by Type, Platform, Installation, Frequency Band, Component, Range, Dimension, Array Geometry and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

Global Electronically Scanned Array (ESA) Market is valued approximately at USD 9.09 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand with a robust CAGR of 7.10% during the forecast period 2025-2035. Electronically Scanned Arrays, encompassing both Active (AESA) and Passive (PESA) configurations, represent a monumental leap in radar system technology, offering agile beam steering without mechanical movement. These advanced systems are leveraged across military and commercial applications for target detection, surveillance, missile tracking, and communications. Their superior scanning speed, enhanced reliability, and ability to detect stealth aircraft have propelled their adoption across defense platforms. The ESA market is being fueled by an escalating demand for sophisticated radar capabilities driven by emerging threats, increasing modernization of defense assets, and the strategic imperative to maintain air superiority.

As geopolitical tensions and regional conflicts continue to intensify, major defense powers are doubling down on investment in early-warning and threat-detection systems. ESA radars, particularly those utilizing AESA technology, have emerged as the gold standard due to their multi-target tracking abilities, electronic counter-countermeasures, and high-resolution imaging. With militaries increasingly pivoting towards network-centric warfare, these radars enable seamless integration into digital battlefield environments. Furthermore, technological breakthroughs in GaN (Gallium Nitride) semiconductor materials, miniaturization, and thermal management have significantly elevated the performance benchmarks of ESA systems. The convergence of these innovations is not only expanding the footprint of ESA radars across aerial platforms, ships, and ground vehicles but also bolstering their use in satellite payloads, UAVs, and next-gen fighter jets.

Regionally, North America holds a commanding position in the global ESA market, underpinned by large-scale procurement programs led by the U.S. Department of Defense and continuous investment in R&D. The United States remains a frontrunner in AESA deployment across F-35, F/A-18, and future NGAD platforms. In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is poised to experience the fastest growth owing to rising military expenditure, rapid modernization of air defense infrastructure, and strategic programs in nations like India, China, Japan, and South Korea. These countries are investing heavily in indigenous ESA radar development and regional missile shield programs. Meanwhile, Europe is gradually amplifying its focus on electronic warfare and radar upgrades, largely aligned with NATO initiatives and joint defense procurement policies.
