Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the Avalanche Radar Market

The emergence of the new coronavirus has damaged the global avalanche radar market, as well as several other industries. This is primarily due to industrial sector closures and disruptions in the supply chain networks. Furthermore, due to rigorous federal guidelines and transportation constraints, there has been a halt and delay in the delivery of raw materials, which has negatively hampered industrial segments in providing the final product. All of these factors contributed to the market's decline throughout the crisis. The development of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the avalanche radar sector, as well as other industries. The spontaneous spread of the coronavirus has forced numerous sectors to shut down completely. This hindered the industry's production levels and supply networks, resulting in a decline in market growth. Furthermore, transportation limitations have caused a halt in the delivery of raw materials, negatively impacting the industrial segments. All of these issues have slowed the market's expansion during the crisis.  

Global Avalanche Radar Market Analysis

Businesses are concentrating their efforts on designing and improving more accurate radar systems. Modern active electronically scanned array radars are becoming more popular in the industry. These avalanche radars may be controlled by software to change and optimize the targets without requiring any hardware adjustments. Solid-state technology advancements such as Gallium Nitride have given birth to a new generation of AESA radars.

 Usually, drones are extremely small and cannot be spotted by Avalanche radars. There is currently no technique to counter such a little object on the radar sweep. Furthermore, due to the increasing use of commercial or private drones, radars are incapable of handling such a huge number of objects at once. To avoid overloading the system, the built-in filters reveal only the most relevant objectives, while the remainder is filtered out. The inability to detect drones, as well as the increasing use of small drones for surveillance purposes, are projected to hinder market expansion.

The increasing number of natural disasters, particularly avalanches, caused by global warming and climate change has made life in the highlands and polar regions exceedingly difficult. This difficulty has been solved by avalanche detection systems, which use high-tech avalanche radars. Avalanche radars use cutting-edge technology to help the local population accurately predict avalanches, allowing them to better alleviate the problem. The Army and the Defence Geoinformatics and Research Establishment (DGRE) have installed the first avalanche monitoring radar in India in North Sikkim. It can detect avalanches within three seconds of activation and will help save troops' lives and reduce property damage in ultra-high-altitude zones. The radar was turned on by DGRE, a laboratory within the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) that is involved in forecasting and mitigating avalanche threats encountered by the Army in the Himalayan region.

Global Avalanche Radar Market, Segmentation

The global avalanche radar market is segmented based on type, component, end-user, and region.

Type:

The type segment is further classified into short range and long range. Among these, the long range sub-segment accounted for the largest market share 2021. Long range weather forecasting is commonly used in snowy locations. Avalanche radars detect avalanches and warn weather monitoring officials through a variety of ways. These serve in warning trains, cars, and citizens to avoid avalanche-prone terrain. The long range radar equipment continuously monitors a preset area of the avalanche flow area and may thus detect an exit reliably. Avalanche radar detects spontaneous avalanche activity and can be used in conjunction with a traffic signal to close a route.

Component:

The component industry segment is further classified into transmitter, antennas, receiver, and display. Among these, the antennas sub-segment is anticipated to have a dominant market in 2031. The two types of antennas are mechanically scanned antennas and electrically scanned antennas which are the two fundamental types of scannable antennas. Beam agility is a function of motor speed/power in mechanically scanned antennas, and scanning all directions takes about 1 second. An electrically scanned antenna, such as a phased array antenna, on the other hand, may steer the beam in a matter of microseconds.

End-User:

The end-user segment is further classified into military and defense, government, and weather monitoring. Among these, the weather monitoring  sub-segment is anticipated to have a dominant market in 2031. Weather monitoring equipment are efficient tools for automatically detecting the onset of an avalanche and warning residents in the nearby area. Avalanche radars operate in practically any weather and at any time of day. The contours of the area where the avalanche detection system must be deployed will determine how many avalanche radars must be installed to appropriately cover the entire area.

Region:

The avalanche radar market in the Europe region displayed dominance in 2021. Global warming and climate change have caused a slew of environmental factors that were previously uncommon in Europe. Flash floods, cloudbursts, terrible famines and droughts, glacier melting, frequent avalanches, and other natural disasters are becoming more common in Europe. Avalanche radar is widely used in the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, and Norway. Melting glaciers and frequent avalanches pose a major threat to the lives, resources, and property of those living in mountainous or arctic locations. Though they are distinct phenomena, melting glaciers frequently cause an avalanche. Melting glaciers is a long process that cannot always be tracked; nonetheless, when a glacier reaches a tipping point, the entire glacial system collapses, producing a massive avalanche. This is particularly true in mountainous areas.
