The global marine radar market attained a value of USD 1.53 Billion in 2025 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.00% through 2035. The market is further expected to achieve USD 2.74 Billion by 2035. Growing global seaborne trade, stricter maritime safety regulations mandating radar carriage on vessels above minimum tonnage thresholds, and increasing adoption of solid-state and AI-assisted radar technology continue to support demand across fishing vessels, recreational boats, and merchant marine applications.
Growing global seaborne trade continues to anchor steady demand across the marine radar market, as expanding commercial fleets and rising vessel traffic in congested coastal and port waters increase the need for reliable collision avoidance systems. Manufacturers are also investing in solid-state and AI-assisted radar technology, reflecting the industry's ongoing pursuit of faster, more intelligent detection systems that reduce reliance on ageing magnetron-based designs.
The marine radar market is witnessing further developments as established manufacturers integrate artificial intelligence into core radar detection capability. In October 2025, Furuno Electric introduced its NXT Solid-State Doppler Radar featuring Risk Visualizer and AI Avoidance Route, two software-driven safety features that shift onboard radar from passive target display toward active, intelligent collision avoidance guidance. This shift toward AI-assisted, software-driven radar functionality is concentrated among manufacturers with sufficient signal processing and software development scale, while smaller specialists continue to compete on basic, hardware-only radar systems.
In addition, established manufacturers are increasingly transitioning legacy magnetron-based radar lines toward complete solid-state product families, reflecting the industry's recognition that reduced power consumption, faster start-up, and lower maintenance requirements increasingly outweigh the higher upfront cost of solid-state systems. In February 2026, Saab was selected by the FAA to replace ageing ASDE-3 and SMRi surface movement radars with its solid-state SR-3 system at 44 of the busiest US airports, citing reduced maintenance costs, lower downtime, and reduced obsolescence risk as key advantages over legacy transceiver technology. Such technology transition activity is reshaping competitive positioning across the wider marine radar market as manufacturers with complete solid-state product portfolios increasingly differentiate themselves from competitors still reliant on magnetron-based legacy designs.

Furuno published its updated 2026 general catalogue for recreational boats, reflecting continued expansion of its DRS-NXT solid-state Doppler radar series across multiple power and range configurations. Companies can maintain regularly updated product catalogues spanning multiple solid-state power tiers to serve both entry-level and higher-power recreational vessel segments.
Rheinmetall was awarded a contract worth several hundred million euros to modernise the German Navy frigate Bayern, including an overhaul of its radar sensor suite alongside its combat management system, to extend the vessel's operational readiness until at least 2035. Companies can secure long-term naval modernisation contracts covering both radar sensor upgrades and broader combat system integration to extend the service life of ageing fleet vessels.
Furuno highlighted its TZtouchE series of multi-function displays, positioning the platform as a navigation system that delivers meaningful radar and chart capability without unnecessary interface complexity for recreational boaters. Companies can prioritise simplified, accessible user interfaces alongside advanced radar capability to broaden adoption among less technically specialised recreational vessel owners.
Furuno Electric introduced its NXT Solid-State Doppler Radar integrated with NavNet TZtouchXL and TZtouchE multi-function displays, featuring new Risk Visualizer and AI Avoidance Route software safety features. Companies can integrate AI-driven route guidance directly into radar display systems to shift onboard electronics from passive target monitoring toward active collision avoidance decision support.
Established manufacturers continue to integrate artificial intelligence into core radar detection and collision avoidance capability. In October 2025, one leading manufacturer introduced a solid-state Doppler radar system featuring new AI-driven route guidance and risk visualisation software features across the marine radar market. Such AI integration reflects manufacturers' recognition that shifting radar systems from passive target display toward active, intelligent guidance increasingly differentiates premium systems from basic detection-only alternatives.
Manufacturers continue expanding solid-state radar product ranges across multiple power and range configurations to serve diverse vessel segments. In August 2026, one leading manufacturer updated its recreational product catalogue reflecting continued expansion of its solid-state Doppler radar series. Such range expansion reflects manufacturers' recognition that offering solid-state technology across both entry-level and higher-power tiers increasingly captures a broader share of the recreational and light commercial vessel market.
Manufacturers continue simplifying multi-function display interfaces to broaden radar system adoption among less technically specialised vessel owners. In March 2026, one leading manufacturer highlighted a navigation display platform designed to deliver meaningful radar capability without unnecessary interface complexity. Such interface simplification reflects manufacturers' recognition that reducing the learning curve associated with advanced radar systems increasingly expands the addressable recreational boating market beyond dedicated technical enthusiasts.
Diversified defence and marine electronics groups continue to apply sensor and signal processing research developed across their broader marine and defence electronics portfolios to increasingly sophisticated radar system development. Established multi-category electronics manufacturers continue to develop marine radar drawing on broader sonar, communications, and defence sensor research spanning multiple product categories beyond radar alone. Such cross-portfolio research investment gives diversified electronics groups a technical foundation that narrower radar-only specialists must build through more limited, single-product development. In September 2025, Thales published insight into its ATL2 platform serving as a testbed for AirMaster S radar's AI functions, drawing on the company's broader electronic warfare and signal processing research to advance smart radar capability.
