Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.8% through 2030
The
IRST system market is driven by technological advancements, defense spending,
and the growing need for sophisticated threat detection systems.
According to
TechSci Research report, “Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System Market -
Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast &
Opportunities, 2030F”, the
global Infrared Search & Track (IRST) System market was
valued at USD 7.53 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 10.56 Billion by
2030 with a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. The Infrared Search
& Track (IRST) system market is experiencing steady growth, propelled by a
combination of advanced technological developments and increasing demand across
defense and civilian applications. The primary growth drivers include the need
for stealthy, non-radiative surveillance systems, advancements in infrared
sensor technology, and the rising demand in civil sectors such as aviation and
air traffic management. With its ability to detect and track targets without
emitting detectable radiation, IRST technology is becoming increasingly vital
in both defense and civil applications. The growing need for advanced
surveillance systems in defense applications is particularly driving market
expansion. Modern military operations require systems that can operate
covertly, without alerting adversaries to their presence. This is where IRST systems,
which provide a significant advantage in terms of undetectability, come into
play. Countries around the world are investing in advanced defense
technologies, leading to an increasing adoption of IRST systems in air, land,
and naval platforms.
At
the same time, the civil sector is also seeing a rise in demand for IRST
technology, particularly for use in air traffic control and monitoring systems.
The need for greater safety and operational efficiency in air traffic
management is driving the growth of IRST systems in the aviation industry.
These systems offer a crucial tool for detecting and tracking aircraft, even
under poor visibility conditions, thereby improving air traffic management and
safety. Despite the promising growth prospects, several challenges remain,
including the high cost of implementation, the complexity of integrating IRST
systems with existing technologies, and regulatory and security concerns. As
the market expands, manufacturers and stakeholders will need to address these
challenges to ensure successful adoption and deployment across various sectors.

The Infrared
Search & Track (IRST) System Market is segmented into component, end user,
platform and region.
Based
on platform, the naval platform segment in the IRST (Infrared Search and Track)
system market is fastest growing primarily driven by two factors, the
modernization of naval fleets and the increasing demand for effective
surveillance and target acquisition in maritime environments. This trend
reflects the rising importance of naval warfare in modern military strategy, as
navies across the world are seeking to enhance their operational effectiveness
in complex maritime environments. Naval
fleets are undergoing significant modernization to stay ahead in the evolving
threat landscape. Older ships are being equipped with state-of-the-art
technology, including IRST systems, to ensure they remain competitive and
capable of handling new types of threats. This includes the integration of
advanced sensor systems for enhanced surveillance, detection, and tracking,
which are critical for naval operations, especially in anti-submarine warfare
(ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), and missile defense.
Based
on region, the fastest growing region is the Asia-Pacific (APAC), driven by
increasing defense spending in countries like China, India, and Japan. These
countries are modernizing their military forces and investing heavily in
advanced technologies like IRST systems to enhance their defense capabilities.
The rise of naval and aerial defense systems in APAC is propelling the demand
for IRST technology, and the region is expected to see substantial growth in
the coming years.

“The civil sector is increasingly
adopting IRST technology, particularly in aviation, air traffic management, and
border security. The growing demand for safer, more efficient air traffic
control systems is driving the adoption of IRST systems in both civilian
aircraft and air traffic management centers. In aviation, IRST systems are
being used to monitor air traffic in challenging weather conditions and crowded
airspace, improving safety and efficiency. Similarly, in border security and
law enforcement, IRST systems are being deployed for surveillance and
monitoring purposes, providing a non-intrusive way to detect and track
suspicious activities. The rising trend of smart cities and urban surveillance
is also contributing to the growth of civil IRST applications, with cities
investing in advanced monitoring systems to improve public safety. “Said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a
research-based management consulting firm.
