Radar Vision Boom: Why High‑Res SAR Imaging is Skyrocketing Toward 2030
The global high-resolution SAR imaging market was about $5.4 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach about $11.6 billion by 2030, a CAGR of roughly 13%. Capella Space had around 10–15 satellites in 2024 delivering 0.5 m and 0.25 m resolution imagery, while ICEYE operates the world’s largest SAR constellation with 20+ satellites. Recent commercial SAR missions have achieved sub-meter resolution, with Umbra reporting ~25 cm imagery and Capella demonstrating ~30 cm and 25 cm-class products. NASA-ISRO’s NISAR mission will carry both an L-band and an S-band radar on the same satellite. North America accounted for about 33.8% of
