The global wireless communication market is expected to reach USD 1800 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2024 to 2032. This growth in the wireless communication market is expected to drive the demand for microwave antennas.
Growing demand for high-speed internet
The demand for high-speed internet is increasing rapidly due to the growing number of connected devices and the increasing need for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and online gaming. Microwave antennas play a crucial role in providing high-speed internet through wireless communication systems. The global high-speed internet services market is expected to reach USD 1750 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2024 to 2032. This growth in the high-speed internet services market is expected to drive the demand for microwave antennas.
Growing demand for satellite communication
Microwave antennas are also used in satellite communication systems for transmitting and receiving signals from the satellite. The growing demand for satellite communication for military, government, and commercial applications is driving the demand for microwave antennas. The global satellite communication market is expected to reach USD 40 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2032. This growth in the satellite communication market is expected to drive the demand for microwave antennas.
High Cost to Restrain the Market Growth
One of the major restraints of the microwave antenna market is the high cost associated with the development and deployment of advanced microwave antenna systems. These high costs are primarily due to the extensive research and development efforts required to design and manufacture sophisticated antenna systems that are capable of handling high-frequency microwave signals. The use of advanced materials and components also adds to the overall cost of the system. Moreover, the installation of these antenna systems also requires skilled professionals, which further increases the cost. As a result, many small and medium-sized enterprises may not be able to afford these high costs, limiting their adoption of microwave antenna technology. Additionally, the high costs associated with repairing and maintaining these advanced systems can also pose a challenge for end-users, thereby hindering the growth of the market.
Parabolic Antenna Segment to Dominate the Revenues in the Type Segment
The parabolic antenna segment dominated in terms of revenue share in 2023 due to its high gain and narrow beamwidth, which make it suitable for long-distance communication. These antennas are widely used in various applications such as satellite communication, radar systems, and terrestrial microwave links. The flat panel antenna segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR due to its compact size and ease of installation. These antennas are commonly used in wireless communication systems, point-to-point communication, and radio broadcasting.
Telecom Carrier Leading the Application Market
The telecom carrier segment held the largest revenue in 2023 and is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032, due to the increasing demand for high-speed data transfer and communication services. With the rapid growth of 5G networks, the need for microwave antennas in telecom carrier applications is expected to increase significantly. Governments also use microwave antennas for communication and surveillance purposes, which is expected to drive the growth of the market in this segment. Corporate organizations use microwave antennas for point-to-point communication, which is expected to contribute to the growth of the market in this segment. Other applications of microwave antennas include military and defense, transportation, and aerospace, among others. The increasing demand for real-time data transmission in these sectors is expected to boost the growth of the market in the other segment. In terms of revenue and CAGR, the telecom carrier segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, followed by the governments and corporate organizations segments.
APAC remains the Global Leader
Asia-Pacific held the largest revenue share of the market in 2023 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of microwave antennas in various applications such as telecom carriers, defense and military, and broadcasting. Countries like China, India, and Japan are witnessing a rise in the number of telecom carriers and their subscribers, leading to high demand for microwave antennas for communication purposes. Additionally, the growing use of microwave antennas in the defense and military sector in the region is further driving market growth. North America is expected to witness a significant CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for wireless communication and the growing popularity of 5G technology. The region has witnessed rapid advancements in technology and the presence of major market players in the region is also contributing to the growth of the microwave antenna market in North America.
