The global base station antenna market size is expected to reach USD 25.58 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 17.2% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed to the faster development of mobile networks, which is being driven by rising demand for high-speed data transmission and the advent of new technologies such as 5G. As mobile operators attempt to improve network coverage and capacity, there is a rising demand for efficient and dependable base station antennas that can handle higher data rates and accommodate a greater number of connected devices.
The market is witnessing a shift towards advanced antenna technologies, including massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), beamforming, and smart antennas. Massive MIMO adjusts antenna beam forms via 3D beamforming, concentrating radio power on target terminals within the target antenna coverage. This boosts spectral efficiency and sector-level throughput efficiently. Because of its high performance, massive MIMO is a key 5G technology. Massive MIMO is predicted to give network capacity 100 times more than existing LTE-A and LTE-A Pro solutions when mobile networks move to 5G.
Base station antennas are also designed to support advanced frequency bands, such as the millimeter wave (mmWave) bands used in 5G networks. These antennas enable high-speed data transmission and the exploitation of larger bandwidths available in these frequency ranges. Advanced frequency bands, including mmWave bands, offer significantly wider bandwidths than traditional frequency bands. This allows for higher data transmission rates, enabling applications that require ultra-fast data transfer, such as high-definition video streaming, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and immersive gaming experiences.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the base station antenna market due to the disruptions of the supply chain functions. Despite the challenges, the pandemic highlighted the critical importance of reliable and high-speed connectivity. With remote work, online education, telemedicine, and increased digital activities, the demand for robust network infrastructure and base station antennas surged. The need to accommodate higher data traffic and ensure seamless connectivity prompted network operators to accelerate their investments in base station antennas.
