Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024 - 2036

Signals Intelligence Market size was over USD 14.69 Billion in 2023 and is poised to cross USD 27.36 Billion by 2036, witnessing more than 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of signals intelligence is evaluated at USD 15.38 Billion. Owing to technological advancement, signals intelligence is widely collected with the help of unmanned ariel vehicles such as drones. As the speed and frequency of signals used in intelligence technology increase, this information serves as the basis for aerial surveillance, military and defense systems, security operations, and public order control. In May 2020, U.S. Army announced that they are planning to pick signals intelligence and unmanned ariel vehicle for Africa from Textron AAI. 

With global terrorism on the rise, these has been increasing investment by military authorities and governments. In August 2020, the Taiwan government announced an increased defense budget of USD 1.6 billion. This signal helps national security forces identify potential threats they are about to encounter. This technology suite includes a high-speed interceptor with various sensors, radar, sonar, a command and control center, and a special sensor suite.

Signals Intelligence Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Prevalence of Signals Intelligence in Public Domain – Previously signal intelligence was highly used by the government or the defence sector but now slowly it is being incorporated by the public domain sector too. The public domain is one of the significant commercial applications of signal intelligence which provides an effective `understanding of any object or vessel present in the public domain that can affect the security, safety, or environment. Nowadays, many organizations are adopting signal intelligence for their safety and security. For instance, In 2020, Elbit Systems has been awarded a USD 15 million contract from Energean Israel to provide a complete floating production storage and offloading platform solution for the Kalish Tanin offshore gas field. 
  • High Adoption of Electronic Systems – Greater adoption of electronic systems for intelligence is expected to boost the signals intelligence (SIGINT) market in the projected period. 
  • Increasing Use of Electromagnetic Spectrum – The increasing use of the magnetic sensor spectrum in civil and commercial applications for activities such as live TV streaming, broadband, and navigation has resulted in the use of different frequencies in some electronic devices. Armed forces around the world focus on gathering information on threats through frequency hopping detection, a tactical indicator that indicates threat category, transmission density, signal parameters, and other relevant information.  
  • Increasing Research and Development Activities – Key market players are carrying out significant research and development activities intending to provide innovative solutions. The companies take a few initiatives to incorporate a few technologies into their existing solutions to gain maximum market growth. 

Challenges 

  • High Cost Associated with Signal Intelligence System Deployment – The integration of advanced and innovative technologies is a continuous challenge in the front military sector owing to its high cost which is simply out of the budget. Countries around the world are researching and exploring to find out alternative techniques to fit into the military budget. Therefore, signal intelligence now is shifting from the military sector to the commercial sector. 
  • Inability to Address Various Threats 
  • Lack of Skilled Labour
