The growing investment in autonomous vehicles is driving the demand for antennas, thereby boosting the market. Autonomous vehicles are equipped with various sensing technologies, such as cameras, light detection and ranging (LIDAR), laser-based sensors, global positioning systems, and radar transceivers, to navigate complex environments. For example, in September 2024, Alphabet Inc., a US-based multinational conglomerate, announced a $5 billion investment in its self-driving subsidiary, Waymo. This investment marks a significant step in expanding Waymo’s autonomous vehicle operations. Currently, Waymo operates in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, and has recently revealed plans to begin testing fully autonomous rides on the freeways of the San Francisco Bay Area. These increased investments in autonomous vehicles are fueling the growth of the transmitting antennas market.

The expansion of 5G networks is expected to propel the growth of the transmitting antennas market in the coming years. The global deployment of 5G networks necessitates a significant increase in transmitting antennas to support the higher data speeds and network capacity that 5G technology offers. For instance, according to 5G Americas, a US-based industry trade organization, the number of 5G wireless connections surged by 76% between the end of 2021 and the end of 2022, reaching a total of 1.05 billion connections. It is projected to reach 5.9 billion by the end of 2027, according to data from Omdia and 5G Americas. Consequently, the growing demand for 5G networks is expected to drive the transmitting antennas market.

Many companies are addressing the rising demand for military antennas by manufacturing specialized military-grade antennas. These military antennas provide enhanced surveillance, precise tracking, and address security concerns for various military applications, including aircraft, naval vessels, armored vehicles, and more. For example, TACo., a Canada-based company, specializes in manufacturing multiple military antennas for applications such as ground-air-ground, air traffic control, and various vehicular and base communications needs. The increasing need for advanced features in military antennas is contributing to market growth.

Major companies in the transmitting antennas market are innovating with new technologies such as the Light Antenna ONE, a LiFi module designed for integration into billions of devices, as showcased at MWC Barcelona. LiFi is a wireless data transmission system that utilizes light, rather than radio frequencies. The Light Antenna is an optoelectrical antenna designed to enable LiFi in connected devices and integrates seamlessly like conventional RF antennas. For instance, in February 2023, PureLiFi, a UK-based telecommunications equipment supplier, launched the Light Antenna Module at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. This cutting-edge wireless communications antenna is smaller than a US dime and is prepared to enable LiFi in a wide range of connected devices and smartphones at scale, following the IEEE 802.11bb Light Communication standard, which is set to be ratified soon.

In June 2024, Kanders & Company Inc., a US-based investment firm, acquired specific antenna and test equipment businesses from L3Harris Technologies Inc. for around $200 million. Through this acquisition, Kanders & Company Inc. plans to integrate these businesses into a new platform company called Fisica, positioning itself as a major player in the defense technology sector. L3Harris Technologies Inc., a US-based aerospace and defense technology company, specializes in providing smart antenna solutions.

A transmitting antenna constitutes a fundamental component of radio technology. It comprises a conductor through which an electric current flows, oscillating with time, and thus transforms this current into radiofrequency radiation that propagates through the surrounding space.

The principal categories of transmitting antennas encompass smart antennas, mini-strip antennas, and other variations. Smart antennas are a type of digital antenna equipped with signal tracking and processing capabilities. These antenna configurations find widespread applications in fields such as signal processing, radar systems, and telecommunications. Transmitting antennas operate across a range of frequencies, including HF (High Frequency), VHF (Very High Frequency), and UHF (Ultra High Frequency), and are employed in various industries, including aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, healthcare, telecommunications, and other end-use sectors.
