Aerospace Radome Market Report 2025

The aerospace radome market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.93 billion in 2024 to $2.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the historic period is linked to the surge in military aircraft manufacturing throughout the Cold War, the expansion of commercial aviation after the 1970s, advancements in radar-based navigation technologies, the increasing deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in defense, and the rising demand for stealth features in fighter aircraft.

The aerospace radome market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The forecast period’s growth can be credited to the expanding use of advanced radar systems in civil aviation, increased defense modernization efforts in emerging economies, a higher demand for lightweight composite radomes, greater investment in hypersonic missile projects, and a stronger focus on aviation safety and weather monitoring. Key trends expected include the creation of multi-band and wideband radomes, the use of thermoplastic composites for lighter structures, adoption of conformal radome designs, progress in additive manufacturing methods, and the development of radomes tailored for hypersonic vehicles.

The rise in air travel is anticipated to drive growth in the aerospace radome market in the coming years. Air travel involves transporting passengers or cargo by aircraft through the atmosphere from one point to another. This encompasses all types of air transportation, including commercial, private, military, and recreational flights using airplanes, helicopters, and other flying vehicles. Increasing global economic growth has led to higher disposable incomes, allowing more individuals to afford air travel for business and leisure purposes. This growth in air travel results in greater demand for new aircraft and fleet upgrades, which subsequently increases the need for advanced radome systems that support essential functions like weather radar, satellite communications, and navigation equipment. Aerospace radomes thus become a critical part of modern aviation infrastructure. For example, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, a US federal agency, US airlines transported 853 million passengers in 2022, up from 658 million in 2021. Hence, the rise in air travel is boosting 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 May 2022, Communications & Power Industries (CPI), a US-based aerospace and satellite communications firm, acquired AdamWorks LLC for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is intended to strengthen CPI’s capabilities in advanced composite products and broaden its aerospace and defense portfolio. CPI aims to enhance its position in providing high-performance, mission-critical components by leveraging AdamWorks’ engineering and manufacturing expertise, particularly in the design and production of composite aerospace radomes and structures. AdamWorks LLC is a US-based company specializing in aerospace and defense solutions, including radomes, pods, pressure vessels, and aircraft and spacecraft structures.

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.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

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.
