Airborne Decoy Market Size, Share and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Pyrotechnic Flares, Pyrophoric Flares, and Others), By Application (Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Modern warfare is changing rapidly and defense forces around the world are looking for modern technologies and systems to fend off enemy threats. Decoys play a crucial role in confusing the enemy, helping to save personnel, weapons, ground vehicles and aircraft from destruction. This is catalyzing the growth of the Airborne Decoy market. The numerous R&D activities in the field of Airborne Decoy are also boosting the Airborne Decoy market.

The airborne decoy market is expected to rise sharply over the course of the year due to the fact that the defense forces of both developed and developing countries are investing large sums in the development and introduction of them. In addition, the advent of fabric-based airborne decoy attracts defense forces, which also catalyze the procurement of these lures, thus strengthening the market for inflatable lures. The future of the airborne decoy market is important due to the evolution of the industry from smaller players with attractive product lines at competitive prices. This factor should help militaries in developing countries to adopt the models and thus fuel the airborne decoy market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Airborne Decoy Market

The COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019 and early 2020 significantly affected the world and continues to shake several countries. Until the outbreak of COVID-19, the aerospace industry was experiencing substantial growth in terms of production and services, despite huge delays from aircraft manufacturers; however, aircraft manufacturing volumes per model contacted to some extent. The production of various defense equipment, weapons and countermeasure products also fell.

The drop in production volumes is mainly attributed to restrictions on human movement, which has led makers of aircraft and other defense products to operate with a limited workforce. This had a low negative impact on the growth rate of the Airborne Decoy market during the first and second quarters of 2020. However, most defense contracts have longer durations, which has helped contractors maintain operational efficiency. As defense aircraft manufacturers continued production in an effort to get products to customers on time, demand for airborne decoy continued to sink more slowly. However, due to supply chain disturbance, the decoy market has seen a decline in revenue generation.
