Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global radar systems and technology market 2016-2020 report. This research report also lists five prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
End-users in the defense radar systems and technology market are shifting their focus from quantity to quality. There is also an increased emphasis on cost-efficiency in military operations. Maintaining a balance between cost and quality and simultaneously providing upgrades and retrofit solutions to meet modern military needs can pose a significant challenge for vendors.
Companies are facing high levels of uncertainty due to the negative economic conditions in Europe and defense budget cuts in the US. However, despite these developments western military forces are still looking for sophisticated, modernized weapons and are upgrading their weapon systems. Moreover, developing countries in APAC and the Middle East are also strengthening their defense radar systems and technology with modern systems and capabilities. “Thus, the existing major players in the market need to identify the evolving trends and market shifts, and adapt to them for long-term success and survival in the market,” says Abhay Singh, lead analyst at Technavio for defense technology research.
