Global Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems Market to Surge at a CAGR of Around 5.5% During 2025-30

The Global Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems Market size was valued at around USD 16.8 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 23.2 Billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5.5% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The rise in the number of wars and conflicts between various countries is the main reason behind this growth as it inclines them toward investing in systems that can help in the detection of suspicious activities and take preventive actions before any collateral damage.

Moreover, the increasing conflicts directly correlate with the increase in terrorist activities. More than 90% of the terrorist activities happen in the conflict zones. This is because it becomes easy for the terrorists to enter the foreign boundaries while the defense forces are engaged in other operations. Additionally, in the meantime, the rate of cyber threats also increases in the conflict zones. This is because cyber tactics help to harm the enemy’s operational systems and instruments thus making it easy to perform various military operations. As a result, there is a very high demand for SIGINT systems to detect such offensive plans of enemies and their intentions thus avoiding them before taking place.

Furthermore, the expanding defense budget of various countries further fuels the growth of the market. This is because advancements in their forces are important to align with technological innovations and keep the country safe from numerous threats. As a result, the demand for SIGINT systems will also increase as they help the forces to know the enemy's intentions by providing location, sounds, texts, radar signals, etc. Therefore, there has been a very high demand for SIGINT systems in historical years, and this trend is expected to continue in the future as well amid the ongoing conflicts and high expansion in the defense expenditures by various nations, further states the research report, “Global Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems Market Analysis, 2025.”

Segmentation Analysis

Portable Segment is Preferred by the Users

Based on the mobility of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems, the market is further bifurcated into Fixed and Portable. Here, the portable segment is expected to dominate the market in the future with a share of around 76%. This is because such systems make it easy to move closer to the conflict zone and gather intelligence in less time and with high accuracy so that defensive actions can be taken as soon as possible. As a result, various companies are highly focused on making highly robust mobile SIGINT systems such as Prophet by Lockheed Martin.

Moreover, various fighter jets are also equipped with SIGINT systems so that they can attack the target with real-time intelligence onboard. Additionally, various companies are focusing on integrating SIGINT systems in unmanned drones so that intelligence can be gathered from locations near enemies without putting any human life at risk. Therefore, due to the low latency and high precision of mobile SIGINT systems, they have been highly popular and this trend is expected to continue in the forecast period as well.

North America Drives Global Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems Industry

Regionally, North America dominates the market with a share of around 39%. This is primarily due to the high expenditures of this region on defense advancements, with the US as the most prominent country. In 2022, the spending of the US alone on its military was more than the combined spending of the next five countries on the list. Moreover, the US faces a very high number of terrorist invasions which further fuels the need for robust SIGINT systems to tackle them. Furthermore, the number of cyber threats in the US has also increased over the years. Therefore, to address such factors, a very investment has been made by this region toward SIGINT systems, and its dominance is expected to remain in the future as well due to continuously expanding defense expenditure which is further fueled by the presence of major SIGINT manufacturing companies.

Competitive Landscape

With strategic initiatives such as mergers, collaborations, and acquisitions, the leading market companies, including General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, L3Harris Technologies, BAE Systems, Thales, Elbit Systems, Saab Group, Israeli Aerospace Industries, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Rohde & Schwarz, Leonardo, Hensoldt AG, Rheinmetall, Mercury Systems, and others are looking forward to strengthening their market positions.
