One of the key factors driving the mobile communication antenna market growth is the increasing demand for smart devices. The growth of the global mobile communication antenna market is mainly fuelled by the increasing adoption of smart devices such as smartphones, smart locks, smart appliances, and other IoT devices. Thus, to capitalize on the growth of smart devices, smartphone original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are releasing products that incorporate innovative technologies to enable M2M communication and are focusing on launching smart devices and their supporting services.
Furthermore, ensuring efficient and seamless operations such as data transmission and device control in these devices requires high network connectivity in the area of deployment. As a result, it requires the increasing deployment of telecommunication networks across various regions. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the mobile communication antenna market growth is the growing trend of IoT. IoT is the latest development in the field of global technology. It interconnects all necessary home appliances to the Internet such that all electronic devices can be connected and, ideally, will soon be able to communicate with one another. For instance, all of the main technology companies, including Apple Inc. (Apple) and Microsoft Corp. (Microsoft), have committed significant resources to the IoT's R&D.
Moreover, homes of the future will be filled with numerous wirelessly attached nodes and appliances that can sense the world around them and take appropriate action. Therefore, optical transport networks with high bandwidth support will be necessary for the IoT's expanding range of applications. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Frequent technological advances and upgrades are one of the key challenges hindering the mobile communication antenna market growth. The main functionality of an antenna is to facilitate wireless communication. In addition, antennas are fitted to communication and Internet-enabled devices. However, the constant technological advances and upgrades are challenging mobile communication antenna manufacturers.
Moreover, OEMs need to design antennas that are viable for all kinds of technological changes. In addition, OEMs mainly use various mobile network technologies, such as 5G, LTE, and LTE-Advanced(LTE-A), to implement connectivity-related services in various communication devices. However, to implement such connectivity-related services, wireless antennas that can emit radiation in a horizontal form are required. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The macrocells segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. A macrocell segment is a cell site in a mobile communication network, which offers radio coverage to a larger area and a larger user base when compared with small cells. In addition, it is a high-power cell site, consisting of large antennas that are mounted on ground-based masts or on rooftops at a height to provide a clear view of the surrounding buildings and terrain. Furthermore, macrocells transmit data signals as output, which are 5-10 times more intense than those transmitted by small cells.

The macrocells segment was the largest and valued at USD 3,806.58 million in 2018. Moreover, due to their high-power signal transmission capabilities, macrocells are increasingly adopting power semiconductor-based components, including Gallium Nitride (GaN) in components, such as high-power GaN radio frequency (RF) amplifiers. In addition, this endows a higher power density-withstanding capacity to the microcell and ensures its efficient operation. Furthermore, in contrast to small cells, which are used for network densification, macrocells are being increasingly adopted for smart city and wide-range network coverage applications, as they enable wider coverage. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which, in turn, will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing investment in defense and space missions will fuel the directional antennas segment which in turn will increase the market growth. This segment sends and receives signals in one direction only, usually in a tightly focused, very narrow beam. In addition, this segment comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and designs based on their purpose. Moreover, it is used in cellular networks, base stations, land mobile radio (LMR) applications, GPS systems, critical response communication, and many others. In addition, growing investment in various end-user industries, including space, is also driving the adoption of directional antennas for satellite communication systems. Furthermore, the directional antenna is often used in satellite television systems to receive signals from satellites in geostationary orbit. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
