Global Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market Size By Platform (Airborne, Marine, Ground-Based), By Application (Combat SAR, Urban SAR Industrial), By Geographic Scope And Forecast

Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market Size And Forecast

Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market size is valued at USD 123.40 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 156.98 Billion in 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.13% from 2023 to 2030.

Think about itas terrorism and insurgency increase, so will the need for better search and rescue gear. While insurgency is usually tied to a specific political goal, terrorism is often used as a tool to achieve those goals. Both are devastating, though. Beyond the immediate loss of life and destroyed property, acts of terrorism and insurgency can really hurt the economy by creating fear (xenophobia), crippling the tourism industry, destabilizing markets, and driving up insurance costs.

It's a deep dive into the important stuffsegments, trends, what's driving growth, what's holding it back, who the key players are, and everything that really matters in the market.

Global Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market Definition

The market for various equipment types used in search and rescue operations, such as communication and navigational tools, air and sea-based rescue equipment, and ground-based search equipment, is called the Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market. The market is driven by several reasons, including the rising demand for sophisticated and effective SAR equipment, technical improvements in equipment, and the increased necessity for search and rescue operations due to accidents, natural disasters, and other emergencies.

Technology development has become a significant trend in the Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market. The way search and rescue (SAR) missions are carried out is evolving due to new designs and technologies. With the development of searchlights, helmet-mounted displays, cameras, spin prevention technology, wireless crew communications, and other tools, missing people can now be located more quickly and safely.

For instance, the Polycon Next Generation (PNG) wireless ICS extension is a full-duplex mission system that extends communications beyond an airframe at a safe line-of-sight range. It is encrypted and very customizable. Axnes, a Norwegian maker of mission-critical wireless intercom systems designed for SAR teams, unveiled it in October 2020.

Global Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market Overview

The development of search and rescue equipment is anticipated to be fueled by rising acts of terrorism and insurgency. Compared to insurgency, a political movement with a clear political objective, terrorism is seen as a tool for achieving political goals.

Increased acts of terrorism and insurgency directly destroy property and kill people while also having an indirect negative impact on the economy through xenophobia, a decline in tourism, market instability, and an increase in insurance claims. In 2021, for example, there were about 73 terrorist acts and plans in the US, according to the US-based NGO Centre for Strategic and International Studies. Five fatalities were recorded in 2020; in 2021, that number rose to thirty.

Additionally, despite an increase in attacks, the impact of terrorism is still declining, according to Global Terrorism Index 2022, published in ReliefWeb, a US-based humanitarian information portal. Terrorist deaths decreased by 1.2% to 7,142 in 2021, despite increased attacks by 17%. As a result, rising acts of terrorism and insurgency will continue to fuel the expansion of the Search and Rescue (SAR) Equipment Market.

The confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, at least briefly, limited the likelihood of a COVID-19 pandemic-related global economic recovery. Due to the conflict between these two countries, economic sanctions against a number of countries, a rise in commodity prices, and disruptions in the supply chain, prices for goods have risen, which has impacted global markets.
