  • The United Kingdom is dedicated to allocating 2% of its Gross Domestic Product to defence annually.
  • The aerospace sector in the United Kingdom ranks as the second largest globally, following the United States.
  • In 2023, UK airports recorded a total of 272.8 million passenger journeys, an increase from 221.8 million in 2022.

United Kingdom Radar Market Growth

In 2019, UK airports experienced an unprecedented influx of nearly 300 million passengers, marking a record high. The increase in air travel has significantly impacted air traffic, resulting in a greater reliance on radar technology. Radars are essential for effective air traffic management, facilitating the safe and efficient navigation of aircraft within controlled airspace. They are capable of detecting and monitoring the position, speed, and altitude of aircraft within a designated range, supplying real-time information to air traffic controllers to maintain safe distances between aircraft.

In the financial year 2023-24, the United Kingdom allocated £54.2 billion for defence expenditures. This figure is projected to increase to £57.1 billion in 2024-25, reflecting a 4.5% rise in real terms. The escalation in defence spending facilitates the integration of advanced equipment essential for safeguarding national security. Radars are indispensable in defence operations, serving the critical functions of detecting, tracking, and responding to potential threats across air, land, and maritime domains. They enable continuous surveillance of airspace, coastlines, and borders, allowing for the early detection of incoming aircraft, missiles, ships, or vehicles, thereby providing military forces with timely alerts for effective response.

Key Trends and Developments

Rising security concerns, the robust growth of the aerospace sector, growing use of radars in weather and climate monitoring, and technological advancements are the major trends impacting the United Kingdom radar market growth

June 2023

The UK government granted a contract valued at £270 million to BAE Systems, a British multinational company specialising in aerospace, defence, and information security, for the purpose of supporting, upgrading, and maintaining essential radar systems.

September 2023

Saab, a Swedish company specialising in aerospace and defence, inaugurated a new radar manufacturing facility in Fareham, the United Kingdom, as a part of its expansion strategy.

Dec 2023

The UK, the United States, and Australia unveiled an initiative known as the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability. This programme aims to deliver continuous, all-weather operational capabilities to enhance the detection, tracking, identification, and characterisation of objects in deep space.

Rising Security Concerns

The increasing emphasis on homeland security and border monitoring, especially regarding the necessity to oversee air and maritime borders, is propelling the demand for advanced radar technologies.

Robust Growth of the Aerospace Sector

The robustly growing aerospace sector in the United Kingdom is driving the need for sophisticated radar systems across military and civilian aviation sectors, encompassing air traffic management, collision prevention, and navigation.

Rising Weather and Climate Monitoring Activities

The heightened emphasis on climate change and disaster readiness is fuelling the demand for weather radars utilised in meteorology to track severe weather occurrences and enhance forecasting precision.

Increasing Investments in Defence Modernisation Programmes

The UK government has augmented its investment in enhancing defence capabilities, which includes the acquisition of sophisticated radar systems for aerial, terrestrial, and maritime uses to bolster national security.

Technological Advancements

Ongoing advancements in radar technology, particularly Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars, are promoting an increased application of radar systems in multiple sectors, including defence, automotive, and civil infrastructure.

United Kingdom Radar Market Trends

The heightened awareness and urgency surrounding climate change, coupled with the growing frequency and intensity of natural disasters, have significantly amplified the demand for advanced weather radars in the field of meteorology. As communities and governments strive to enhance their preparedness for extreme weather events—such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and heatwaves, there is an increasing recognition of the critical role that accurate weather monitoring and forecasting play in safeguarding lives and property.

Weather radars are sophisticated systems that provide detailed information about precipitation patterns, storm development, and wind dynamics, allowing for more precise predictions of severe weather events. As the impacts of climate change become more pronounced, the need for improved forecasting accuracy is paramount. Enhanced weather radars can help meteorologists identify emerging threats sooner, issue timely warnings, and facilitate effective response strategies.
