Market Overview:
The Global Laser Designator Targeting Pods Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for laser designator targeting pods for military applications, such as UAVs and combat aircraft. Additionally, the increasing demand for advanced sensors and processors in laser designator targeting pods is also contributing to the market growth. However, factors such as high installation and maintenance costs are restraining the market growth. Based on type, the global laser designator targeting pods market can be segmented into environmental control unit (ECU), charged coupled device (CCD) camera, moving map system, digital data recorder (DDR), processor unit FLIR sensor and others. The ECU segment is expected to hold a major share of the global laser designator targeting pod market during the forecast period owing to its ability to provide thermal management in extreme weather conditions.
Product Definition:
A laser designator is a targeting pod that emits a laser beam to designate a target. The beam is invisible to the naked eye, but can be seen by aircraft fitted with sensors that can detect infrared radiation. Designating a target with a laser designator allows an aircraft's weapons system to lock onto and track the target more accurately, increasing the chances of hitting it. Laser designation also often provides quicker and more accurate information about the size and shape of the target for pilots than traditional methods such as radar or visual reconnaissance.
Environmental Control Unit:
The Environmental Control Unit (ECU) is a device that regulates the laser beam power. It helps in maintaining optimum performance of the targeting pod and ensures that it delivers highest accuracy during firing. The ECU also helps in cooling down the system, which enables longer Pod lifecycle and reduces maintenance costs for users.
Environmental control units are integrated into each targeting pod as part of its standard equipment since they offer several benefits to users, such as increased range.
Charged Coupled Device (CCD) Camera:
Charged coupled device (CCD) camera is a digital camera that uses an integrated or attached optical filter to select a limited range of wavelengths for imaging. It takes two or more pictures on different charges within the crystal lens. These are then processed and displayed on the screen with the help of an electronic charge coupled device (ccd). The major advantage associated with this technology is its ability to provide high-resolution images even in poor lighting conditions.
Application Insights:
The market is categorized into four segments based on application, namely UAV, combat aircraft, others and ground vehicles. The UAV segment dominated the global laser designator targeting pods market in terms of revenue share in 2017. Laser-guided bombs are used by both military and civil UAVs for precision strikes against targets at long range. Increasing use of such weapons by countries such as China and Russia to target enemy tanks from a safe distance is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
The combat aircraft segment accounted for more than 20% of the overall revenue share in 2017 owing to increasing usage of advanced technology during armed conflicts across various regions coupled with high defense expenditure levels among countries such as China and Russia that have been developing their military capabilities rapidly over the past few years will drive growth over next eight years or so.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2016. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to increasing investments by the U.S.-based companies and rising adoption of laser designators for military as well as civil applications. Asia Pacific regional market is anticipated to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period, owing to increasing adoption by commercial entities and rapid technological advancements coupled with economic growth in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, India and Australia.
Europe also accounted for a significant share of revenue generation within 2016 due to high acceptance levels associated with laser targeting systems among consumers across this region coupled with increased spending on defense sector by several NATO countries including Germany; France; Italy etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for precision-guided munitions in modern warfare is expected to drive the growth of the laser designator targeting pods market over the forecast period.
- The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for reconnaissance and strike missions is also anticipated to fuel the growth of this market.
- The growing need for advanced targeting capabilities in order to improve accuracy and reduce collateral damage is expected to boost demand for laser designator targeting pods over the forecast period.
- The increasing procurement of fighter aircraft by air forces worldwide is also projected to contribute significantly towards market growth during the forecast period.
- Technological advancements in laser designator targeting pods are likely to create new opportunities for market growth over the next few years
