Aircraft Radome Maintenance Market Size

The global aircraft radome maintenance market is projected to grow from USD 1.8 billion in 2021 to USD 3.6 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 15.7% from 2021 to 2026. The radar system is protected by the radome, which is a structural enclosure. The electromagnetic signal broadcast intercepted by the antenna is barely attenuated by the aircraft radome, which is completely opaque to radio waves. The increased demand for aeroplanes has resulted in a major increase in the global aviation radome market.

The radome market is growing due to developments in polymer nanocomposites technology for radome construction, increasing focus on developing compact radomes for UAV platforms, rising demand for technologically improved radome systems for next-generation aircraft, and the use of radomes in warfare. The aviation industry's consistent modernization attempts are boosting the growth of the global aircraft radome repair market throughout the forecast period.

The aviation business creates planes for a variety of industries, including commercial and military. The planes are upgraded on a regular basis to keep the model's productivity and effectiveness on the field. As a result, the aircraft bring economic benefits and modernizing activities, which propels the aircraft radome market forward. Furthermore, the global expansion of the aviation radome market is being fuelled by an increase in many countries' defence budgets to upgrade military aircraft and make them war-ready.

The radomes are used to shield the antenna from inclement weather. Furthermore, the use of radomes increases system availability and performance by preventing the antenna from coming into direct contact with wind, rain, or ice. Furthermore, the use of radomes in aeroplane antennas lowers maintenance costs significantly because the antenna is protected during transit, allowing for uninterrupted communication.

The COVID-19 epidemic caused a drop in demand for commercial aircraft in 2020. Due to the fact that global passenger traffic is likely to take 2-3 years to completely recuperate, demand for commercial aircraft is expected to be lower, limiting demand for commercial aircraft radomes. Demand for radomes from business jets is able to recover faster than demand from commercial aircraft, also with military aviation demand being resilient comparison to the conventional and general aviation, demand for radomes from the defense segment is anticipated to expand.

In the near future, the expansion of aerospace companies in Asia Pacific and Latin America will be a big potential for the radome industry to flourish. Additional air passenger traffic is predicted to enhance demand for passenger airliners, regional jets, and intermediate transport aircraft, providing these manufacturers with growth prospects for new aircraft manufacturing and, as a result, the aircraft radome market. The tiniest alteration in randomes physical attributes, on the other hand, can adversely affect the performance of radar and antenna installations and stymie communication. As a result, regular radome maintenance is critical, and high cost of maintenance might stifle market growth.

Aircraft Radome Maintenance Market: By Product Type

Based on the product type, the market is segmented into nose radome, and fuselage mounted radome. The nose radome segment is expected to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The nose radome is more beneficial since it instantly shelters the aircraft's components from strong winds, snowfall, and precipitation, all of which contribute to growth. The effectiveness of a radome is often specified by metrics such as the distant radiation pattern, energy permeability, boresight error, and boresight error gradient. Nose radomes function as casings for antennas and are usually angled to minimize aerodynamic downforce.

Aircraft Radome Maintenance Market: By Material Type

Based on the type of material, the market is divided into glass-fibre, resin, and quartz. The glass fibre segment is anticipated to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. This is due to its high thermal conductor and penetration, both of which contribute to the growth. The surface of the fibreglass radome is strengthened with compounds to improve adhesion within them, ensuring that the exterior paint does not peel, wrinkle, or lose its colour in extreme conditions.

Aircraft Radome Maintenance Market: By Type of Aircraft

Based on the type of aircraft, the market is segmented into commercial/passenger aircraft, military aircraft, business jets, and helicopters. The commercial aircraft segment which is sub-divided into narrow body aircraft, wide body aircraft, very large body aircraft, and regional aircraft is anticipated to have the largest share in the market during the forecast period. The increase can be ascribed to the increased demand on airlines to upgrade and extend their fleets as a result of the growing preference for air travel over the last decade.

Furthermore, as radomes are a vital feature of an aeroplane, demand for radome structures is expanding in tandem with demand for new aircraft. With supply of new planes projected to pick up in the coming years, aircraft manufacturers are increasing productivity levels. In addition, the introduction of new aircraft models in the near future may increase supply of new aircraft radomes.

Aircraft Radome Maintenance Market: By Region

Based on region, the market can be broken into various regions such as North America, Europe, Central, and South America, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific regions. The North American region is expected to have a lion’s share in the market during the forecast period. Significant expenditures in R&D efforts by key companies for the advancement of enhanced radome solutions, as well as growing development of advanced radome systems, are projected to drive the radome market in this region forward. Due to the easy access to numerous technological innovations and substantial investment made by manufacturers in the world for the development of more effective military ISR and interaction & monitoring systems, the U.S. is expected to drive the growth of the North American radome market during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific region is also expected to become the dominant region with highest CAGR during the forecast period. The region is experiencing a surge in air passenger travel. During the forecast period, China and India are expected to be among the world's largest aviation markets. Furthermore, the expansion of commercial aircraft in Asia Pacific and Latin America represents a significant opportunity for the radome industry to grow in the coming years. Additionally, the rise of globalisation and environmentalism has increased necessity for air travel. As a result, there is an increase in demand for commercial aeroplanes. The market for aerospace radomes is directly driven by the increase in aircraft orders in the region.
