The global automatic direction finder market size expanded rapidly in 2021. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the automatic direction finder market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. As per our research, the market is expected to generate substantial revenue by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The relative bearing from a ship or a plane to a suitable radio station is automatically and constantly shown by an automatic direction finder, which is a maritime or aircraft radio-navigation equipment. In the LW band, between 190 and 535 kHz, ADF receivers are often tuned to aircraft or marine NDBs.

COVID-19 Impact: Interruption in Supply Chains to Deplete Market Growth

The eruption of COVID-19 has done act as a substantial restraint on some market in 2020, as businesses have been disrupted due to global government lockdowns. COVID-19 is a contagious disease that causes flu-like symptoms such as fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. National governments' efforts to limit transfer have led to a decrease in business growth and confined trade in goods and services, with nations entering a 'lock down' state. Businesses suffered as a result of the outbreak in 2020 and 2021. Many markets were been affected from this because the main focus was on the respiratory issues. The automatic direction finder market growth is expected to rebound from the shock over the forecast period.

Latest Trends

"Growing Dependency on RMI to Intensify Market Magnification "

The RMI (radio-magnetic indicator) is a different type of automatic direction finder display that offers more data than a typical automation direction finder. An RMI display has a compass card that is activated by the aircraft's compass system and allows the pilot to view the magnetic bearing to or from the signal source without using math. Therefore, the growing dependency on the radio-magnetic indicator will boost the automatic direction finder market. The majority of RMIs have two direction needles. The bigger, double-barred needle is frequently attached to antenna, whereas the thinner, single-barred needle, in most cases, is connected to a VOR. The operator may be able to choose which needle connects to every navigation radio on some models. Since there is a lot of difference across the models, the operator must be careful that the model they choose displays data from the proper automation direction finder and VOR.

Driving Factors

"Positioning in the Flight Deck to Boost Market Share"

The user's controls for automatic direction finder receivers can be positioned in the flight deck. Most general aviation aircraft have this. Another option is to merely have the control head inside the flight deck and put the automation direction finder receiver in a distant avionics bay. There are often two automatic direction finder receivers. Automation direction finder information may be digitized or shown on the aforementioned automation direction finder indicators. The automatic direction finder is typically displayed digitally on contemporary, flat, multipurpose electronic displays.  The antenna in loop is disabled and just the sensing antenna is active whenever ANT is chosen on an automatic direction finder receiver. As a result, transmissions in the automatic direction finder frequency band, such as meteorological or AWAS broadcasts, can be received more effectively in several directions. Therefore, the equipment positioning in the flight deck will boost the automatic direction finder market share.

"Ongoing Improvements to Expand Market Forwarding"

The current status of automatic direction indicator market is expanding owing to the ongoing improvements. A stationary loop with a ferrite core is used in place of the rotating receiving antenna. This improves sensitivity and makes it possible to utilize a smaller antenna. Two loop antennas positioned at a 90° angle are present in the most recent automatic direction indicator systems. Two stators of a goniometer or resolver receive voltage from the received signal, which is then delivered to them. The voltage that the goniometer stators cause in a rotor correlates with the output of the fixed loops. To find the null, a motor drives the rotor. The pointer inside the flight deck display revolves using the same motor to display the station's magnetic or relative bearing.

Restraining Factors

"Security Flaws to Deplete Market Advancement"

The automatic direction finder pointer may fluctuate due to radio waves that are bounced by the ionosphere and return to earth between 30 and 60 miles. The time right before and following sunrise/sunset is when the dusk effect is the strongest. In general, the influence increases with increasing distance from the station. By normalizing the fluctuation, flying at a greater altitude, or choosing a station that has a low intensity, the effect can be reduced. Therefore, the fluctuations may hinder the automatic direction finder market growth.
