Antennas for Systems and Devices: Technologies and Global Markets

December 27, 2012

Wellesley, Mass. – According to a new technical market research report, ANTENNAS FOR SYSTEMS AND DEVICES: TECHNOLOGIES AND GLOBAL MARKETS (IFT073B), from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global antenna market was valued at $12.6 billion in 2011 and should reach nearly $13.4 billion in 2012. Total market value is expected to reach nearly $16.9 billion in 2017 after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%.

The global antenna market can also be determined by the number of units shipped globally. In 2011, 9.7 billion units were shipped globally and that figure should reach 11 billion units in 2012. Projections show that nearly 19.6 billion units will be shipped in 2017 after increasing at a CAGR of 12.2%.

BCC Research forecasts a sedate growth in dollar sales and a more upbeat picture in shipment volumes.  The state of the antenna market depends largely on the health of its respective end-use application markets. Antennas are relatively consistent in their functioning with simple operating principles.  Consequently, the dynamics of the end-use application markets are the deciding factors in the growth of antenna sales. 

The growth in shipment sales indicates a surge in the antenna applications. This surge is orchestrated by the increased need to connect disparate devices, for which wireless communications provide quick and cost-effective solutions. Wireless sensors are a case in point. The dominant theme in the surge for applications is the heavy dependence on low-ore, medium-power antennas. Such antennas have lower selling prices, due to which an increase in shipment sales does not necessarily translate into an equivalent increase in dollar sales. BCC Research also forecasts that high-bandwidth applications will have a significant role to play, especially in the growth of smart antenna market.
