Aerospace Radome Market Report 2026

The aerospace radome market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.08 billion in 2025 to $2.24 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of nose-mounted radomes in commercial and military aircraft, development of conformal radomes for reduced aerodynamic drag, rising demand for radomes to protect sensitive radar and communication systems, use of advanced composite materials for lightweight and durable enclosures, implementation of radomes in missile and defense platforms for environmental protection.

The aerospace radome market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.97 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for multi-functional radome structures with integrated sensors, expansion of next-generation aircraft and UAV programs requiring advanced radomes, focus on minimizing electromagnetic signal distortion and interference, adoption of radar-absorbing and stealth-capable radome materials, increasing aftermarket replacement and upgrade services for aerospace radomes. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for advanced radomes supporting multi-band radar systems, increased use of lightweight and thermally stable composite materials, growing adoption of conformal radome designs for stealth aircraft, expansion of radome integration in uavs and high-speed platforms, higher emphasis on electromagnetic transparency and minimal signal distortion.

The rise in air travel is expected to drive the growth of the aerospace radome market. Air travel involves transporting passengers or cargo by aircraft, including airplanes, helicopters, and other flying vehicles used for commercial, private, military, or recreational purposes. This growth in air travel is fueled by expanding global economic activity, which increases disposable incomes and enables more people to fly for business and leisure. As air travel intensifies, the demand for new aircraft and upgrades to existing fleets rises, generating a greater need for advanced radome systems that support essential functions such as weather radar, satellite communication, and navigation. These systems make aerospace radomes a critical component of modern aviation infrastructure. For example, in August 2025, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that global passenger air traffic reached 9.8 billion in 2025, reflecting a 3.7% increase compared to 2024 and strong demand across all major regions. Consequently, the growth in air travel is contributing to the expansion of the aerospace radome market.

Key players in the aerospace and defense radome market are focusing on expanding their manufacturing capabilities to increase production capacity, meet rising demand, and localize critical component production. This strategic expansion helps optimize supply chains, reduce reliance on imports, and speed up the deployment of advanced radome systems across military and commercial aerospace platforms. For instance, in June 2025, Spacefaring Technologies Pvt Ltd, an aerospace company based in India, announced the launch of a dedicated aircraft radome manufacturing facility in Assam with an investment of Rs 100 crore. This initiative supports India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat program and highlights the growing contribution of startups in the aerospace sector.

In November 2024, Teledyne Technologies, a US-based aerospace and defense electronics company, acquired select aerospace and defense electronics businesses from Excelitas Technologies Corp. for $710 million in cash. The acquisition is intended to strengthen Teledyne’s aerospace and defense electronics portfolio by incorporating advanced optics for heads-up and helmet-mounted displays, tactical night vision technologies, and custom energetics used in defense and space systems. The acquired businesses from Excelitas Technologies Corp., a US-based technology company, specialize in advanced photonics and electronic solutions for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the aerospace radome market by increasing the cost of imported composite materials, resin systems, and specialized manufacturing tools required for advanced radome fabrication. These cost pressures affect nose, fuselage-mounted, and wingtip radome segments in major aerospace regions including North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, delaying production cycles and raising procurement costs. While tariffs disrupt global supply chains, they also stimulate domestic material sourcing and encourage investments in regional composite manufacturing capabilities, strengthening long-term supply resilience.

An aerospace radome is a protective cover that encases radar, communication, or navigation antennas on aircraft, spacecraft, or missiles. It is engineered to let electromagnetic signals pass through with minimal interference while protecting the internal equipment from environmental factors like wind, rain, heat, and debris during high-speed travel.

The primary types of aerospace radomes include fuselage-mounted, nose-mounted, and wingtip-mounted radomes. Fuselage-mounted radomes are fixed to the aircraft’s main body and contain antennas used for communication or surveillance. These radomes are made from materials such as fiberglass, quartz, and Kevlar. They are utilized on various aircraft, including narrow-body, wide-body, and regional jets, and serve applications like communication, environmental protection, and navigation or radar systems, catering to end users in civil aviation, defense, and space exploration.
