Market Insights–Decoy Flares Market

Upgradation of Existing Fighter Jets and Increasing Procurement of Advanced Fighter & Transport Aircraft

The upgradation of existing fighter jets is among the major factors that are fueling the adoption of the decoy flares market globally, such as; in a recent Royal Thai Air Force white paper, the organization mentioned various plans such as the upgradation of the Saab Early Warning System, replacement of F-16 fighter jets and L-39s trainers, and also procurement of various transport, helicopters, spy satellites, and unmanned aircraft. Similarly, the Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) approved defense deals worth Rs 38,900 crore in July 2020, including the purchase of 21 MiG-29 Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter jets, the upgradation of 59 existing MiG-29 jets from the IAF inventory, and the purchase from Russia of 12 Su-30MKI aircraft. Such plans and deals of key market players are anticipated to boost the market growth at a high pace in the coming years.

COVID-19 Impact

The outbreak of the COVID-19 during December 2019 and early 2020 has significantly affected the world and is continuing to shatter several countries. Until the outbreak of COVID – 19, the aerospace industry was experiencing substantial growth in terms of production and services, despite huge backlogs from the aircraft manufacturers; however, the manufacturing volumes of aircraft per model contacted to some extent. The production of various defense equipment, weaponry, and countermeasure products also receded. The decline in production volumes is majorly attributed to human movement restrictions, which led the aircraft and other defense product manufacturers to operate with a limited workforce. This slightly negatively impacted the growth rate of the decoy flares market during Q1 and Q2 of 2020. However, most of the defense contracts are of a longer period, which helped the contractors maintain their operational efficiency. Since the defense aircraft manufacturers continued their production with an aim to deliver the products to respective customers on-time, the demand for decoy flares continued to flow at a slower rate. However, due to supply chain disruptions, the decoy flare market experienced a drop in revenue generation.

Product Segment Insights

Based on product, the pyrotechnic flares segment dominated lead the global decoy flares market in 2019. The increasing application of pyrotechnic flares in military aircraft is one of the major factor driving the growth of the segment. In addition, the pyrotechnic flares produce white light and smoke that is highly visible. They ignite when expelled and generate a large amount of infrared energy for 5 to 10 seconds to distract and confuse the missile's seeker.

Calibre Segment Insights

Based on calibre, the 1x1x8 inch NATO square format segment dominated lead the global decoy flares market in 2019. The decoy flares market players offer their respective customers with a wide variety of caliber decoy flares. Traditionally, the circular decoy flares were supplied with calibers of 26mm and 50mm. However, with the advancements in airborne countermeasure technologies and aircraft models, the decoy flare manufacturers are continuously upgrading their products, and in the current scenario, the NATO square format calibers are majorly adopted by the aircraft OEMs and defense forces.

Application Segment Insights

Based on application, the fixed wing aircraft segment dominated the global decoy flares market in 2019. Fixed wing refers to the application of decoy flares on defense aircraft. The increase in government spending across the world on procurement of transport aircraft fleet as well combat aircraft fleet for securing respective nation’s borders is paving the growth path for the decoy flare market.
