Detailed Segmentation:

Application Insights

The cellular systems segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021. The major application use of smart antennas is in cellular systems. The other significant application bases of smart antennas are RADAR, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi systems. Smart antennas use a cluster of input and output antennas to increase the signal strength and quality. This system has been prominent for deploying 4G and 5G through smart antennas.

The WiMAX system segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of 11.41% from 2022 to 2030. The WiMAX system enables operators to have more flexible options for mobile and fixed communication systems. Wi-Fi solutions are required for homes, colleges, and enterprises and smart antennas provide secure and long-range solutions for all. Smart antennas are able to provide secure solutions for Wi-Fi in the form of traditional and advanced multi-layer security.

Technology Insights

The multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology segment is predicted to grow with the highest CAGR of 10.42% over the forecast period. The other important technology segments are single input multiple output and multiple input single output. The MIMO segment is the most advanced and widely used in the market currently. The MIMO technology offers boosted signal transfer at minimal costs and is highly preferred for its ease of use and cost benefits.

The other technologies use single-channel arrays from the transmitters and do not offer strong signal quality. The older technologies are useful for slower and less data-intensive frequencies like 2G and radio waves. The data security in non-MIMO smart antennas is also lower as there is a lack of encryption. However, to upgrade the old technology-based smart antennas, the entire system needs to be replaced altogether.

Regional Insights

The North America region accounted for the largest market share of 31.06% in 2021. The region is performing strongly as a result of high smartphone penetration with high-level 5G smart antenna requirements. The market also has an established base of key players in the North America region due to early adoption. Rapid development and deployment of technology have also resulted in the market performing strongly year over year in North America.

Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market at a CAGR of 12.10% from 2022 to 2030. Developing countries in this region provide a lot of opportunities at a low cost for the market to grow. As Asia Pacific region remains widely untapped, a lot of new intrants and startups for the market can be seen. The governments in this region also allow various tax and industrial benefits for the market thus stimulating its growth further.
