Aerostat Systems Market Segment Insights
Aerostat Systems Product Type Insights
The Aerostat Systems Market segmentation, based on product type, includes Hybrid, Airship, Balloon. The Airship segment held the majority share in 2022 in the aerostat systems market data and is projected to be the fast-growing segment in the forecast period as they are attractive alternative to extremely capable but very costly ISTAR-enabled military drones. Airships are widely used for supporting border and several other security missions instead of the smaller commercial UAVs that have size, weight & power challenges. Airships offer great visibility & mobility, attentive time on station, and can fly lower and slower to support the observation and inspection operations in populated areas. Helium filled payload carrying balloons are one of the types of aerostats used, that can offer 24/7 aerial surveillance and communications with increasing safety, reliability, size, and load carrying capacity.
For Instance, May 2022 SoftBank Corp., Japan and Altaeros has launched world’s first autonomous aerostat “ST-Flex”. This new ST-Flex, is a high-altitude tethered aerostat base station system that can be operated at higher altitudes, can carry heavier communication payloads, and is able to achieve wider area network coverage.
Aerostat Systems Class Insights
The Aerostat Systems Market segmentation, based on class, includes Large-Sized, Medium-Sized, and Compact Size. The large-sized segment dominated the market growth in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023-2030. The large-sized segment is expected to generate the highest revenue in the forecast period as these larger systems usually carry heavier, longer-range payloads and can remain airborne in higher altitudes for longer periods of time and in challenging extreme weather conditions than as compared to the smaller aerostats.
