Due to the rise in regional conflicts and the need for security, some countries are investing in state-of-the-art air defence systems for their armed forces. For instance, in July 2019, Russia began supplying Turkey with S-400 air defence system components. Additionally, India is projected to start acquiring S-400 systems by the end of 2021 as part of a 1.93 billion USD deal with Russia for the 5 S-400 regiments. As a result, an increase in the number of defence systems that various countries buy would encourage the growth of the global decoy flares market.
One of the main factors influencing the adoption of the decoy flares market globally is the replacement of F-16 fighter jets and L-39 trainers, as well as the procurement of various transport, helicopters, spy satellites, and unmanned aircraft. The Royal Thai Air Force recently released a white paper in which it discussed several plans. Improvements to the Saab Early Warning System were part of these proposals. Similar to this, in July 2020, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) approved defence deals totalling Rs 38,900 crore, including the purchase of 12 Su- 30MKI Russian aircraft and 21 MiG-29 fighter jets for the Indian Air Force (IAF). These deals also included the upgrade of 59 existing MiG-29 jets from the IAF inventory. These plans and agreements by significant industry players are anticipated to hasten market expansion in the ensuing years.
The British Royal Air Force (RAF) may soon be using Tornado fighter jets equipped with missile-jamming decoys after the Ministry of Defence placed an order with Leonardo. Leonardo, the first business to work jointly on a project with the Rapid Capability Office (RCO), will develop new fighter jet countermeasures termed expendable active decoys (EAD). EADs for RAF fighter jets will be developed utilising Leonardo's BriteCloud EAD technology. The BriteCloud self-contained digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) jammer is designed to protect fighter jets from cutting-edge dangers including RF-guided missiles and fire-control radars. Following manual or automatic ejection from a standard chaff and flare dispenser, BriteCloud monitors RF emissions and compares them to its pre-programmed threat library. When a match is made, the decoy uses advanced algorithms to send out a decoy signal that confuses the danger radar and encroaching missile. Thus, driving the Decoy Flares market revenue.
The global Decoy Flares market segmentation, based on application, includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing. The fixed-wing segment dominated the global Decoy Flares market in 2022. Fixed wing refers to the use of decoy flares on defence aircraft. Potential market opportunities for decoy flares are being created by the global growth in government spending on the procurement of combat and transport aircraft fleets for securing individual country borders.
The global Decoy Flares market segmentation, based on Type, includes pyrotechnic flares, pyrophoric flares, and others. The pyrotechnic flares segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022. The increasing use of pyrotechnic flares in military aircraft is one of the main drivers of the market's expansion. The pyrotechnic flares also produce highly visible white light and smoke. They ignite and emit a lot of infrared energy for 5 to 10 seconds after being launched, confusing and diverting the missile's seeker. The defence forces and aircraft OEMs currently make extensive use of the NATO square format calibres. In order to stay up with advancements in airborne countermeasure technologies and aircraft models, manufacturers of decoy flares frequently update their products.
