Market Overview:
The global Radio Direction Finder (RDF) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for RDFs from marine, civilian, military and other applications. Additionally, factors such as rising disposable income and technological advancements are also contributing to the growth of this market. However, stringent government regulations may hamper the growth of this market in some regions during the forecast period. On basis of type, handheld type RDFs are expected to dominate the global Radio Direction Finder (RDF) market during 2018-2030 owing to their low cost and easy portability.
Product Definition:
A Radio Direction Finder (RDF) is a device that helps a user determine the direction of a radio signal. This can be useful for navigation, tracking down lost signals, or finding the source of interference.
Handheld Type:
Handheld type is a device used to determine the direction of radio signals. It’s major application is in the field of mobile phones and tablets, but it can also be used for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM/GPRS and other wireless technologies. The global handheld RDF market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2016 to 2024.
Large Type:
Large type is a term used for printing or displaying text and image at a larger size as compared to the conventional print size. The primary reason for using large-type display in an RDF system is to provide improved readability of numbers and alphabets. Large type can be seen easily from far, especially during night operations, which makes it one of the important requirements in an RDF system.
Application Insights:
The radio direction finder market is segmented on the basis of application into military, civilian, marine and other applications. The civilian segment held a major share in 2016 owing to increased use of RDFs by governments for communication and navigation purposes. Moreover, growth in the number of commercial aircraft has also led to an increase in demand for RDF devices among airlines. Use cases such as air traffic control are further driving the need for these devices across civil aviation sectors worldwide.
Marine applications are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to rising use cases such as vessel tracking & location finding from shipping companies or government agencies tracking ships at sea or along waterways using these devices.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth is majorly attributed to the high adoption of RDFs by U.S.-based operators for finding radio direction in wilderness and urban areas with high RFID penetration. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing government initiatives for implementation of RFID systems, growing population, and rising disposable income levels coupled with a rise in consumer spending on luxury goods and services such as travel and tourism.
The Middle East & Africa (MEA) region is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period owing its large oil & gas reserves which have led it being called "the energy capital of the world".
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for navigation and location-based services: The global market for navigation and location-based services is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% during the forecast period. This is primarily owing to the increasing demand for smartphones and other portable devices that offer these features. With the advent of 5G technology, there will be a surge in demand for enhanced location-based services, which will benefit the RDF market.
- Growing popularity of drones: Drones are increasingly being used in various commercial applications such as photography, agriculture, and logistics. The use of drones is also growing in defense applications due to their ability to provide real-time information about enemy movements. This is expected to drive the growth of the RDF market during the forecast period.
- Proliferation of maritime trade: Maritime trade has been growing rapidly in recent years due to globalization and rising economic prosperity across countries worldwide. This has led to an increase in maritime traffic, which has resulted in an increase in accidents at sea involving ships and boats carrying valuable cargo or passengers onboard These accidents can be averted by using RDF systems that help identify objects or vessels located near them quickly Radio direction finders are thus becoming increasingly important components of safety systems on ships worldwide
