Satellite Antenna Market Share: By Antenna Type

Based on the antenna type, the market is segmented as parabolic reflector antenna, flat panel antenna, fiberglass reinforced plastic antenna, horn antenna, iron antenna with mold stamping, and others. The flat panel antenna (FPA) segment is estimated to register the highest growth during the forecast period. Rising number of airlines adopting in-flight connectivity, flourishing luxury boats/cruise markets, established land mobile government sector, and various mobile applications are anticipated to stimulate the growth of the FPA’s segment globally.

Satellite Antenna Market Share: By Component Type

Based on the component type, the market is segmented as reflectors, feed horns, feed networks, low noise block (LNB) converters, and others. The reflector segment is estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. A reflector serves as the primary mirror for radio frequency employed for signal transmission on which the antenna is deployed to operate. The large front/back ratio, sharp radiation angle, and small side lobes of a reflector enable the antenna to function properly under noisy locations and extreme climatic conditions where other types of antennas that do not have a reflector malfunction.

Satellite Antenna Market Share: By Platform Type

Based on the platform type, the market is segmented as land, space, maritime, and airborne. The land segment is estimated to depict the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by extensive investments in various R&D activities for application areas, such as telecommunications, navigation, and Earth observation worldwide. The increasing number of satellite ground stations backing various activities, such as augmented satellite-based navigation, high-throughput satellite communication services, use of SatCom in commercial aviation, and commercial satellite imagery-based services are some of the major factors anticipated to propel the growth of the segment during the forecast period. Further, the land segment is expected to remain dominant, owing to the increasing demand for noise-free telephone networks, TV & radio broadcast, and weather forecast applications throughout the forecast period.

Satellite Antenna Market Share: By Frequency Band Type

Based on the frequency band type, the market is segmented as K/Ku/Ka band, L & S band, C band, X band, VHF & UHF band, and others.  The C band segment accounted for the largest share in 2018, and is expected to lead the market during the forecast period. The C band is largely used for data and voice transmissions as well as backhauling. C-band satellite systems employ a 6-12-foot dish for reception of television and data transmissions. It entails a large antenna, usually above 1.8 meters (6 feet) due to its poor power output. However, C band outperforms under poor weather conditions on ground, owing to its low-frequency range. The frequency range for a satellite television varies from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz. C band is mostly employed for commercial satellite television transmissions, commercial telecommunications, and terrestrial microwave links.

Satellite Antenna Market Share: By Region

In terms of regions, the Asia-Pacific satellite antenna market is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period, driven by the increasing use of satellite antennas in automobiles in the region. With the recent space exploration missions by space agencies in the Asia-Pacific region, such as Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) and China National Space Administration (CNSA), the satellite antenna market has witnessed substantial growth. North America and Europe are also expected to offer sizeable growth opportunities in the coming five years.

Some of the major players in the satellite antenna market are Airbus Defence and Space, Cobham plc, Elite Antennas Ltd., General Dynamics Corporation, Gilat Satellite Networks, Harris Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., Macdonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and Space Star Aerospace Technology Applications Co. Ltd.
