5G Antenna Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The global 5G Antenna market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 35.56% during the forecast period.

GROWTH DRIVERS

The 4G and 5G technologies have played a major role in boosting the global telecommunication sector. For instance, the market for 5G antennas is anticipated to expand quickly due to the rising need for wireless communication and high-speed data transit. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Internet users have risen from 4.2 billion in 2019 to 5.3 billion in 2022, indicating a growing demand for enhanced network connectivity and performance. Since 5G antennas offer quicker data processing, better bandwidth, lower latency, and improved reliability compared to 4G/LTE antennas, the 5G antenna market is anticipated to profit from this trend. Additionally, 5G antennas have several uses in a variety of industries, including mobile communication, intelligent transportation, industrial IoT, smart cities, military & defense, and others.

EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE GLOBAL 5G ANTENNA MARKET

MOBILE PHONES AND IOT

The 5G antenna market is segmented by application into mobile phones, connected devices, industry automation, IoT, and others. These applications require high-speed data transmission, low latency, and reliable connectivity, which can be enabled by 5G antennas. The mobile phones and connected devices segments are anticipated to grow due to the need for ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and secure data transmission, which can be enabled by 5G antennas. The IoT segment is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing adoption of IoT devices in various sectors, such as healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment, and transportation. The industry automation segment is also anticipated to grow significantly due to the rising need for smart factories, industrial IoT, and digital transformation.

Internet penetration has grown over the past few years. The demand for high-speed and wireless connectivity and 5G devices has been rising over recent years due to the change in consumer and telecom operators’ preferences. This has the potential to increase the growth of the 5G antenna market.

For instance, according to the report “5G-Market Snapshot May 2023” released by the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), it has found 1,896 announced 5G phones, a more than 50% increase from 1,257 at the start of 2022. The GSA's announcement of 5G phones demonstrates a growing market demand for 5G services and apps, which can help the 5G antenna industry. This will help the 5G antenna market because more 5G phones mean more demand for 5G antennas, essential components enabling 5G connectivity and performance. 5G antennas are designed to operate at higher frequencies and support multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and beamforming technologies, improving network capacity and coverage. Therefore, as more consumers adopt 5G phones and services, the 5G antenna market will benefit from the increased demand and revenue opportunities.
