COVID-19 has caused a lot of challenges for a variety of sectors. That also applies to the defense and aerospace industries. A number of countries have reduced their defense spending due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, most research projects are put on hold. Furthermore, exports of electronically scanned arrays to some countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America have decreased. These options all affect the growth of electronically scanned arrays.

Several antennas that may be moved independently of one another to project the radio beam in different directions make up electronically scanned array systems. Electronically scanned array radars have various advantages over other types of radars, including increased dependability and resistance to electronic jamming.
Armed forces throughout the world are adopting electronically scanned arrays more often as their benefits become more apparent with continued research. The increased usage of electronically scanned array systems in aircraft is the outcome of global attempts by numerous nations to build up an intelligent and technologically sophisticated army instead of a sizable but underdeveloped one. Leading military spenders such as the United States are laying the groundwork for the army to become more automated and powered by technology, eventually replacing the manual, human-driven force.

Major militaries across the globe are investing in plans to modernize their air defense systems, fighter jets, naval vessels, and homeland security technology. The purpose of this upgrade is to make all that equipment work better. A critical component in enhancing the effectiveness of such military hardware is modernizing the tracking, surveillance, and navigation systems in place. The most advanced antenna technology that improves the tracking, surveillance, and navigational capabilities of this military equipment is an electronically scanned array. The electronically scanned arrays market is expected to expand over the course of the projection period due to the high demand for its installation.

Recent years have seen a number of directives and investments in the sector that should expand the electronically scanned arrays market as a whole. Among them are: 
• Several countries have increased their defense budget as a result of the geopolitical unrest around the world. Furthermore, compared to five years ago, there are currently more active conflicts. Hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, India and Pakistan, the US and China, China and Taiwan, and China and India are a few examples of ongoing hostilities. The navy and air force's guided missile defense system-fired missiles are obstructed by electronic scanned array-based radars. It's expected that when these conflicts escalate globally in the near future, there will be a greater need for and incentive to develop electronically scanned array radar systems.
• The most recent advancement in radar technology, 4D electronically scanned array radar, provides features including recognized tactical imagery, weapon assignment, and multi-functional surveillance and target acquisition. The radar uses a solid-state, gallium nitride active, electronically scanned array sensor with several digitally produced beams. Helicopters, low-flying aircraft, and missiles are just a few of the air targets that the electronically scanned array can recognise, track, and classify. The 4D electronically scanned array, or TRML-4D, was developed by Hensoldt AG (Germany). Its 360-degree azimuth coverage and more than 250-kilometer range allow it to identify more than 1,500 targets at once. In 2021, Norway procured five Thales Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission Compact radars (GM200 MM/C) from the Netherlands via a government-to-government accord. The Norwegian Armed Forces now have a new mobile artillery position electronically scanned array suitable for both home and international operations, thanks to this procurement. There is also an option for three further GM200 MM/C systems under contracts with the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (FMA) and the Netherlands Defence Materiel Organization (DMO), with a total contract value of USD 94 million with deliveries scheduled for 2023–2024. In order to support very-short-range/short-range air defense weapons, Thales developed the S-band GM200 MM/C, a palletized 4D dual-axis multibeam active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system designed for tactical mobility, rapid deployment, and combat air observation.

The electronically scanned arrays market is divided into fire control radar, air traffic control radar, tactical data link radar, and other categories based on installation.
The electronically scanned arrays market is divided into three segments: air, marine, and land, based on the platform.

The electronically scanned arrays market is divided into single frequency and multifrequency segments based on frequency band. Single band frequencies are further divided into VHF, L-band, S-band, C-band, X-band, and K-band. VHF frequencies, which span from 30 to 1,000 MHz, are employed in long-range tracking and monitoring applications. They are used in early warning radar systems such as ballistic missile radar, which tracks missiles and satellites, because of their ability to supply large amounts of bandwidth required to gather high-definition signals. These frequencies are also used in foliage/ground penetration and biomass-penetrating electronically scanned arrays. Since these frequencies are least affected by rain or cloudburst, they can be used in weather forecasting equipment such as wind profilers.

Geographically speaking, North America is expected to continue to dominate the electronically scanned arrays market for the duration of the forecast period. The primary factors contributing to this region's dominance are the high concentration of manufacturers using electronically scanned products and the rising costs associated with research and development. 
At the same time, throughout the projected period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to see the quickest growth in the electronically scanned arrays market. as a result of the region's increasing industry, urbanization, economic growth, and infrastructure development. Compared to South America, the Middle East and Africa represent larger markets for electronically scanned arrays.
