Market Overview
The worldwide integrated microwave assembly market was valued at around USD 1,581.7 million in 2023 and is estimated to advance at a CAGR of 7.0% over the projection period, reaching a value of USD 2,514.1 million by the end of the decade.
This can be attributed to the timely introduction of 5G, the high-speed advancement of existing communications and radar systems that are widely used by the military and are vital for aviation; the electronics industry is also a big benefactor, as governments of emerging economies pour more funds and capital injection into this sector.
The defense sector is very expensive, mainly because there are many conflicts and partly because there are political tensions in different countries all over the world. Also, the emergence of terrorist activities, as well as multiple border security issues, each of which has its particularities, and numerous technological improvements in the field of defense help in raising the market in this segment. This is because the responders to these issues are usually looking for higher budget allocations from their respective governments.
