The market is expected to cross US$ 139.71 billion in 2022 and is projected to hit US$ 227.40 billion by 2030, recording a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period.
Development of Next Generation Next Generation Electronic Warfare Systems to Drive the Market Growth.
The development of next generation electronic warfare systems by different vendors in collaboration with different armed forces to cater to their growing market demands to remain competitive in the market. The growing deployment of ISR systems across different platforms and demand for command & control and tactical communication systems is one of the major factors propelling the growth of C4ISR market globally. The growing defense capabilities of different armed forces are demanding more advanced tactical communication systems that is pushing the market vendors to develop innovative solutions for end users. For instance, in July 2019, Airbus signed a five-year agreement with UK MOD worth US$ 25 million to manage test and reference services to support the delivery and assured release of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capability for deployed operations around the globe.
Moreover, military segment is expected to dominate the C4ISR market in 2022 as well. This is owing to the rising military expenditure for the procurement of C4ISR technologies and systems for upgrading their current tactical communication infrastructure and surveillance technologies. Moreover, the rising expenditure for procurement of such technologies is attributed to the rising demand for deployment off C4ISR systems into next generation military aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs. Such factors are expected to drive the demand for C4ISR systems for military segment during the forecast period.
