Automotive Antenna Market Report 2025

The automotive antenna market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $6.59 billion in 2024 to $6.91 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing connectivity needs, government initiatives, rise in vehicle production, rapid urbanization, consumer demand for infotainment.

The automotive antenna market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to 5g integration, rise of electric vehicles (EVs), emergence of v2x communication, demand for advanced safety features, continued connectivity demands. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of smart antenna technology, 5g connectivity in vehicles, increased emphasis on vehicle-to-everything (v2x) communication, flexible and printed antenna technologies, enhanced security features.

The increasing sales of connected and autonomous vehicles are playing a significant role in driving the growth of the automotive antenna market. Connected vehicles are those that can link to nearby devices through wireless networks, while autonomous vehicles can sense their surroundings and operate without human intervention. Automotive antennas are essential for communication and connectivity applications in these vehicles, enabling functions such as V2X (vehicle-to-everything), modems, GNSS (global navigation satellite system), SDARS (satellite digital audio radio service), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. For example, in December 2022, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, projected that there would be 3.5 million autonomous vehicles on American roads by 2025 and 4.5 million by 2030. Furthermore, according to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, by 2040, 75% of all vehicles on highways worldwide are expected to be autonomous. Therefore, the rise in sales of connected and autonomous vehicles is expected to propel the automotive antenna market.

The expansion of 5G networks is a key factor driving the automotive antenna market forward. 5G networks, known for their advanced wireless communication capabilities such as faster data speeds, low latency, and increased connectivity, enhance the functionality of automotive antennas. These antennas facilitate faster, more reliable, and secure communication within and between vehicles, contributing to various applications, including enhanced mobile services and the Internet of Things (IoT). T-Mobile International AG, a Germany-based mobile telecommunications company, reported over 1 billion active 5G subscriptions in February 2023, with a projected 5 billion individuals expected to have 5G subscriptions by the end of 2028. The expansion of 5G networks is therefore a significant driver for the automotive antenna market.
