Executive Summary

Airborne sensors are devices installed on aircraft for capturing images of the Earth's surface.

There are two primary types such as non-scanning and scanning. Non-scanning encompasses profile recorders like laser spectrometers or laser altimeters, which are active, non-scanning, and non-imaging sensors. These sensors consist of both hardware and software components. Applications for these technologies span defense and commercial aircraft, as well as other relevant fields.

The airborne sensors research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides airborne sensors statistics, including airborne sensors industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with airborne sensors market share, detailed airborne sensors market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the airborne sensors industry. This airborne sensors market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The airborne sensors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.04 billion in 2023 to $10.79 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to the integration of autonomous vehicles, advancements in air traffic management, the incorporation of commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), improvements in hyperspectral imaging, and increased demand from the military and defense sectors.

The airborne sensors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.44 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to enhancements in commercial aviation safety, the increasing demand for infrastructure monitoring, advancements in autonomous vehicles, the integration of healthcare and medical transport applications, and a surge in space exploration activities. Key trends expected in the forecast period involve a rising demand for remote sensing, the integration of IoT and AI technologies, the miniaturization of sensors, a heightened demand in defense and security applications, and the application of precision agriculture practices.

A surge in terrorist activities is anticipated to drive the growth of the airborne sensors market in the foreseeable future. Terrorist activities, characterized by violent or criminal actions executed by individuals or groups linked to terrorist organizations, have prompted a heightened demand for airborne sensors in defense applications. These sensors are crucial for fortifying borders and bolstering defenses against potential threats posed by terrorist entities. According to the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) by the Sydney-based Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), there was a notable increase in global terrorist attacks, reaching 5,226 in 2021. Consequently, the upsurge in terrorist activities is expected to be a catalyst for the growth of the airborne sensors market.

The uptick in defense expenditure is poised to significantly drive the growth of the airborne sensors market. Military expenditure, representing the financial resources allocated by governments for their military forces and related endeavors, facilitates the procurement of cutting-edge airborne sensor systems. These systems significantly augment military capabilities, particularly in surveillance, reconnaissance, and the detection of potential threats. For instance, as indicated in the Ministry of Defense (MOD) departmental resources 2022 report published by gov.UK in December 2022, defense spending for 2021-2022 amounted to $76.25 (71.4 Euros) billion, marking a substantial increase of $46.88 (43.9 euros) billion from the previous year. Consequently, the surge in defense expenditure serves as a pivotal driver propelling the growth of the airborne sensors market.

Technological innovation stands as a prominent trend in the airborne sensors market. Notably, major industry players are actively engaged in developing advanced sensor products to maintain their competitive positions. For instance, in September 2022, Leica Geosystems, a Switzerland-based company specializing in surveying and geographical measurement products, introduced the Leica DMC-4, an airborne imaging sensor specifically designed for intricate mapping environments. Leveraging the innovative complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology-based MFC150 camera module with mechanical forward-motion-compensation (FMC), this sensor ensures unparalleled image quality, catering to the evolving needs of complex geographical surveying.

Key companies in the airborne sensors market are prioritizing the innovation of cutting-edge products, integrating advanced technology like ultra-high-resolution (UHR) aerial sensors, to gain a competitive advantage. UHR aerial sensors represent imaging devices with remarkable resolution capabilities, enabling the capture of highly detailed images of the Earth's surface. For example, in November 2022, Sentera, a US-based provider of drones for agricultural purposes, unveiled the 65R model. This pioneering sensor revolutionizes aerial capture capabilities in drone technology, offering seamless integration while preserving top-tier image quality. Its innovative features expand mapping functionalities and elevate aerial capture precision, setting new industry benchmarks in quality for aerial imagery. With a remarkable 65MP resolution, the 65R facilitates the capture of sharp, high-fidelity imagery, optimizing the success of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) missions, boosting productivity, and enhancing overall efficiency.

In September 2022, Parker Hannifin Corporation, a prominent US-based manufacturer specializing in control technology, successfully acquired Meggitt PLC for a substantial $6.79 billion.
