Aerostat Systems Market
Aerostat Systems Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Propulsion System (Powered Aerostats, Unpowered Aerostats), Sub System (Ground Control Station (GCS), Aerostat, Payload) and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aerostat Systems Market is accounted for $9.51 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $33.63 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 17.1% during the forecast period. Factors such as growing terrorism, increasing territorial tension, and technological advancements are driving the growth of the market. However, payload related restrictions are hampering the growth of the market.
An aerostat is a lighter than an air aircraft that gains its lift through the use of a buoyant gas. It offers many advantages like consuming less fuel, being stationary, and carrying a large payload with minimum expenditure. The designing and the manufacturing of the aerostat systems depend upon parameters such as operating temperature, wind speed, altitude, and payload carrying capacity.
Based on the propulsion system, the unpowered aerostats segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to their versatility and lesser fuel consumption. By geography, North America is going to have high growth during the forecast period which can be attributed to its acceptance in law enforcement and for surveillance purposes.
Some of the key players profiled in the Aerostat Systems Market include Lockheed Martin Corporation, Israel Aerospace Industry, Raytheon Company, Drone Aviation, RosAeroSystems, International Ltd, Aeros Aerostat, Tcom L.P , Allsopp Helikites Ltd, RAVEN Inc., ILC Dover, L.P, Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited, Aero Drum Ltd., Lindstrand Technologies Ltd , Exelis Inc., and Aerostar International, Inc.
