United States Aerostat Systems Market Outlook

The United States aerostat systems market size reached approximately USD 4.95 billion in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% in the forecast period of 2024-2032, reaching a value of around USD 11.95 billion by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

An aerostat is a very lightweight aircraft that gains lift through the help of lighter-than-air gases such as helium and hydrogen, among others. Some of its common applications include surveillance, tactical communication, and advertising, among others.

 

  • Aerostat systems provide an inexpensive day-night solution for border control and surveillance as they can track any unauthorised personnel, smugglers, as well as hostile forces in rough terrains.
  • Growing usage of aerostats such as hot-air balloons for aerial advertising is one of the key United States aerostat systems market trends. These balloons can serve as floating billboards or carry a large-sized banner to increase their visibility among viewers.
  • Telecommunications providers in the country are also increasingly relying on aerostats to provide cellular and network coverage in remote areas, in emergencies, and during disaster relief operations.
  • Increased integration of electro-optic and infrared sensors in tethered aerostat systems to enhance situational awareness as well as threat detection also boosts the United States aerostat systems market growth.

 

Market Analysis

Based on product type, the market is divided into balloon, airship, and hybrid. On the basis of sub-system, the market is classified into aerostat, ground control station (GCS), and payload. Based on class, the market is categorised into compact-sized aerostats, mid-sized aerostats, and large-sized aerostats.

 

The United States aerostat systems market segmentation, on the basis of propulsion system, includes powered aerostats and unpowered aerostats. Based on payload, the market is segmented into surveillance radar, camera, inertial navigation systems, communication intelligence, electro-optic/infrared sensor (EO/IR), and electronic intelligence. The major regional markets of aerostat system in the United States include New England, Mideast, Great Lakes, Plains, Southeast, Southwest, Rocky Mountain, and Far West.

Market Share by Product Type

As per the United States aerostat systems market analysis, airships occupy a significant share of the US market as they provide an economical solution for military reconnaissance and surveillance activities compared to high-end drones. These airships are capable of flying low and providing clear-quality images of the area during military operations, which also boosts their demand.

 

Subsequently, increased innovations by several market players are also expected to fuel the segment's growth. For example, in Nov 2023, LTA research unveiled the world’s largest airship, Pathfinder 1, which measures around 400 metres in length and is in its initial stages of flight testing.

 

Market Share by Payload

Cameras occupy a substantial portion of the United States aerostat systems market share, owing to the growing applications of aerial photography in military and defence, climate and weather monitoring, and commercial sectors, among others. These cameras are also used to provide a wireless video feed of an event or music festival being held in the country.

 

Favourable US government initiatives to support national security missions are also expected to heighten the segment’s growth. For example, in Nov 2023, QinetiQ US received a contract of around $170M from US law enforcement for customs and border protection programmes.

 

Competitive Landscape

Lockheed Martin Corporation, established in 1995, is an aerospace and security company, headquartered in Maryland, the United States. It offers a comprehensive range of solutions in aircraft, cyber, maritime systems, space, and sustainment and training systems, among others.

 

Raven Industries, Inc., founded in 1956, is a pioneer of advanced farming technology, with its headquarters in South Dakota, the United States. The company also offers high-end aerostat systems with integrated radar and sensors for surveillance of an area.

 

TCOM Holdings, LLC, is an airborne surveillance solutions company, incorporated in 1971 and based in Columbia, the United States. The company offers the designing, manufacturing, installation, and operation of aerostat systems.

 

Other United States aerostat systems market players include ILC Dover, LP, Worldwide Aeros Corp., Drone Aviation Corp., Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Ltd., Altaeros, Peraton Corp., and Carolina Unmanned Vehicles Inc., among others.
