The global automatic radio direction finder market size is estimated to be USD 102920 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 135465.78 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period.

Automatic radio direction finder is an electromagnetic radiation instrument. It is used to determine the direction of the radio transmitter. The device can be used by an aircraft or ship for navigational aid. In the process, it uses the directions to two or more transmitters of known location, which is termed triangulation.  

Increasing demand for navigation of ships and aircrafts is estimated to surge market growth. The device follows the curvature of the earth. Increasing need to trace or locate air or water transport is projected to drive market growth. Growing demand for air traffic control is predicted to surge market progress. The equipment can be used in any part of the world, and signals are strong. Such advantages of the device are anticipated to accelerate market progress during the forecast period. Single reception from the transmitter is probable by turning the loop antenna (or the goniometer) is predicted to surge market growth. The signal is not limited to line of sight distance, which is estimated to expand market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Ban on Transportation to Restrict Market Growth 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with automatic radio direction finder experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Ban on transportation to control the spreading of virus impacted market progress. Lockdown restriction affected market expansion. Closure of manufacturing units halted production activities. Fluctuation of raw material prices to impact market growth. Lower demand for transportation due to curfews minimized market growth. Lack of investment by market players to reduce product innovation.
