Description

The Global Cellular IoT Antenna Market analyses the latest trends and developments on the IoT antenna market covering 32 antenna vendors. This strategic research report from Berg Insight provides you with 85 pages of unique business intelligence including 5-year industry forecasts and expert commentary on which to base your business decisions.
Antennas are one of the key components of wireless devices and play a central role indetermining wireless performance, coverage and power efficiency. Even though an antenna is aconceptually basic passive component, there are many challenges associated with theimplementation of antennas. Antenna performance depends not only on the antenna elementitself, but also on how the antenna is integrated into the device or system. Complexity is alsoincreased by the need to support multiple cellular frequency bands, regional variants and inmany cases other technologies such as GNSS, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. As a result, the cellular IoTantenna market is characterized by a fragmented vendor landscape, broad product portfoliosand continuous demand for customisation and technical support services.

Berg Insight estimates that annual shipments of cellular IoT antennas, including internal andexternal antennas, amounted to 757 million units in 2025, up 23 percent from the previous year.Until 2030, cellular IoT antenna shipments are forecasted to grow at a compound annual growthrate (CAGR) of 7.9 percent to reach 1.1 billion at the end of the period.

distinct portfolio strategies and varying degrees of specialisation in antennas. Some of the largestplayers have built their presence in the space through acquisitions, using M&A to broaden theirportfolios and strengthen channel reach. Despite this, the market remains fragmented due to thebreadth of end markets served. Vendors therefore range from major electronic componentmanufacturers to specialists focused on selected form factors, technologies or vertical markets.

The internal antenna market is characterised by a mix of off-the-shelf products and customantennas. Important vendors include Taoglas, TE Connectivity, Sunnyway Technology,KYOCERA AVX, Pulse Electronics, discoverIE (operating through 2J Antennas and Antenova),Quectel and Ignion. Major external antenna providers are Amhenol (operating through AmphenolProcom and PCTEL), Huber+Suhner, Panorama Antennas, Taoglas, TE Connectivity, 2JAntennas, Airgain, Mobile Mark, Parsec Technologies, Poynting Antennas, Pulse Electronics andSunnyway Technology. External antennas for the OEM automotive segment are supplied by bothmajor tier-1 automotive suppliers, as well as specialist vendors. Key vendors are Yokowo,Harada, Aumovio and Hirschmann Car Communication.
