DUBLIN, March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Market by Type (Electronic Intelligence (Elint) & Communications Intelligence (Comint)), Application (Airborne, Naval, Ground (Vehicle-Mounted, Soldiers, Base Station), Space, Cyber), & Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) market is expected to grow from USD 12.8 billion in 2018 to USD 15.6 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.1% during the forecast period.

The major market growth factors include increasing terrorism, growing defense budget of major countries across the globe, and modernization or replacement of an aging defense system. However, the high cost involved in the SIGINT system deployment could restrain market growth.

Space platform segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

SIGINT in space or satellites is a vital resource for defense and security missions, especially while planning operations and mission deployments remotely.

The satellites are designed to provide strategic threat assessments and offer an exceptional level of tactical support to decision makers and soldiers. SIGINT satellites support the warfighter, as the warfighter retrieves every minute data on a 24/7 basis, potentially every day of the year.

Vendors are investing with an intention to play an even greater role in assisting defense and security operations. For instance, the CERES satellite system, the first operational space-based SIGINT system of the French Ministry of Defence, is scheduled for launch in 2020.

Asia Pacific (APAC) is expected to grow at the highest growth rate during the forecast period

APAC is projected to witness the highest growth rate, especially in China and India, which is due to the high propensity of these countries to adapt to technological advancements.

Rising insurgencies and armed conflicts in APAC is one of the factors driving the SIGINT market growth. For instance, according to ourworldindata.org, India witnessed 966 terror incidents in 2017. India was the fifth-largest country in military expenditure across the world in 2017.

In addition to this, the fast-growing economies of the APAC region are improving their defense capabilities. For instance, in 2017, Japan spent USD 45.4 billion on military expenditure. Japan is investing heavily on submarine fleet purchases, which automatically increases the deployment of SIGINT systems in submarines.

Major vendors are continuously making new developments to gain a competitive advantage in the market; for instance, in December 2017, the company received a 7-year contract from the UK Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Maritime Combat Systems (MCS) team to provide mission-critical combat support across Royal Navy fleet and ensure the readiness of combat management systems, tactical networks, and shared infrastructures for 38 Royal Navy platforms.

Moreover, Lockheed Martin has also signed an agreement with the US Navy to provide MH-60 helicopters with enhanced electronic warfare surveillance and countermeasure capabilities.
