Market Overview:

Defense Modernization Programs Propel Growth:

Increasing military budgets and the urgency to modernize and replace old aircraft are driving the market for new aircraft and radar upgrades for better coverage in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft are receiving high priority, followed by maritime patrol aircraft to protect vital economic trade routes in the region. Furthermore, an increasing number of countries in the Asia Pacific region are realizing the importance of Network-centric Warfare (NCW) and are shifting their military doctrines toward a networked-defense strategy. NCW is expected to drive the market demand for better radar detection technologies, and a better-networked environment between various government agencies to enhance situational awareness of the battlefield.

However, the high cost of next-generation platforms with advanced radar systems is restraining their adoption among small and medium countries, which are yet to make their procurement decisions. "Large ISR platforms such as the AEW have high procurement costs, and only large developed countries have the requirement and funding to acquire them," notes the analyst of this research service. "Most Asia Pacific countries only allocate a small proportion of their GDP toward defense and this trend is not likely to change much, with the exception of the more developed nations such as Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Australia."
