Radio Direction Finder (RDF) Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a NEUTRAL impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The the growth in air traffic is notably driving the radio direction finder (rdf) market growth, although factors such as the challenges related to platform integration may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the radio direction finder (rdf) market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Radio Direction Finder (RDF) Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the radio direction finder (rdf) market growth is the growth in air traffic. Air traffic control is one of the crucial applications of RDF. The global air traffic is witnessing continuous growth. As an increased number of people join the middle-class segment in emerging countries, the market for domestic flights is expanding rapidly, which, in turn, boosts the demand for commercial flights in different parts of the globe. This has also contributed significantly to the growth of air traffic. The number of passengers traveling on a daily basis is also growing year over year. For instance, the number of passengers that travel on a regular basis on commercial flights increased by around 6% in 2018 compared with that in 2017. The increase in air traffic has a direct influence on the demand for RDF and, therefore, will drive market growth during the forecast period.

Key Radio Direction Finder (RDF) Market Trend

The significant market trend in the radio direction finder (rdf) market is growing use of ADF. An automatic direction finder (ADF) may be described as a radio-navigation instrument that relays the relative bearing of a ship, submarine, or aircraft to a radio station automatically and continuously. ADF receivers can receive longwave signals (in the 190-535 kHz band) from NDBs. They can also receive mediumwave signals. However, these are less reliable for navigation. Using the Morse code signals transmitted by the NDB, the operator can tune the ADF receiver to the correct frequency for verifying the identity of the beacon. The antenna units fitted on these receivers work differently in aviation and marine applications to suit their specific requirements. It shows the direction of the tuned beacons continuously without the need for the user to intervene. It increases reliability, enhances performance, and simplifies maintenance as all mechanical adjustments are eliminated.

Key Radio Direction Finder (RDF) Market Challenge

One of the key challenges affecting the market growth of the radio direction finder (rdf) market is the growing use of GPS. The growing demand for GPS is the biggest challenge that radio direction finding faces. GPS offers significant benefits over RDFs, like GPS-enabled devices are lighter and easier to carry than RDFs, it costs significantly lower than RDFs, both in terms of installation and maintenance, in many applications, GPS is more accurate than RDFs as it shows the exact location of a vessel or device using satellite navigation. Even though RDFs are still being used by military and defense forces for security and surveillance, corporations and civilians have shifted almost completely to GPS or other similar satellite-based technologies. We expect that, in the future, the defense sector will also make the transition to GPS technologies completely.
