Report : North America Airborne Pods Market Forecast to 2030 - Regional Analysis - by Aircraft Type (Combat Aircraft, Helicopters, UAVs, and Others), Pod Type (ISR, Targeting, and Countermeasure), Sensor Technology (EO/IR, EW/EA, and IRCM), and Range (Short, Long, and Intermediate)

At 5.3% CAGR, North America Airborne Pods Market is Speculated to be Worth US$ 1,843.61 Million by 2030, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights research, the North America airborne pods market was valued at US$ 1,215.69 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 1,843.61 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2030. Increasing defense spending, growing occurrences of unstable geopolitical scenario and advent of advanced warfare technologies, increasing number of contracts for supply of airborne pods, and increasing procurement of military aircraft and helicopters are among the critical factors attributed to the North America airborne pods market expansion.

The changing modern warfare scenario has obligated governments of various countries to allocate significant funds and financial aid to respective defense and military forces. The defense budget allocation supports army and military forces in purchasing technologies and equipment from domestic or international developers. There is an augmented need to reinforce defense and military forces with advanced airborne defense systems; hence, air forces across the globe are focusing on investing significant amounts in procuring advanced technologies. Defense forces' constant inclination to acquire new technologies for non-combat and combat operations further boosts military expenditure worldwide.

As per the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), global military expenditure increased to US$ 2,148 billion in 2022, representing a 3.5% increase from 2021. The US, China, India, Russia, and Saudi Arabia were the top five spenders in 2022, which accounted for 63% of the global expenditure.

The increasing military expenditure encourages the incorporation of advanced warfare technologies such as advanced communication devices, sensor systems, missile detection systems, and surveillance and navigation systems. In addition, a high military budget supports the countries in assigning resources for the advancement of their existing military aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles. This comprises enhancing or replacing outdated and mature communication, sensor, laser, surveillance, and navigation systems with more advanced and capable ones by incorporating high-end airborne pods.
