• The flat panel antenna market is predicted to experience significant growth in the coming years. The market is set to expand to $1.37 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7%.
This growth forecast can be attributed to the increased utilization of cost-effective antennas, a surge in the development of diverse commercial and autonomous vehicles, growing demand for compact antenna systems, significant investment in space exploration and satellite launches, along with the increasing need for electronically steered phased array flat panel antennas. The forecast period will be characterized by major trends like technological advancements, the production of ultra-compact, low-profile flat panel antennas for cutting-edge ground combat vehicles, progress in the satellite sector, and the adoption of compact, scalable, and beamforming antennas to enhance efficiency.
What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Flat Panel Antenna Market?
The flat-panel antenna market is expected to thrive due to an increasing number of satellite launches. Satellite launches, involving the dispatch of satellites from the Earth's surface into orbit using various launch vehicles such as rockets or spaceplanes, are climbing due to numerous reasons including increased demand for Earth observation and remote sensing, expanded space exploration, and heightened defense requirements. Flat-panel antennas, which have the capacity to receive signals from multiple satellites simultaneously, perform an essential role in linking the satellite's wide coverage areas. For example, the United States Government Accountability Office, a governmental agency in the US, stated in September 2022 that there were approximately 5,500 functioning satellites in orbit. Additionally, it is projected that an additional 58,000 satellites will be launched by the year 2030. As a result, the increase in satellite launches propels the growth of the flat-panel antenna market.
