The automotive smart antenna market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.24 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to 5g vehicle rollout, autonomous driving development, connected mobility ecosystems, vehicle-to-everything communication, smart antenna miniaturization. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of 5g connectivity, growth of connected vehicles, adoption of mimo and beamforming, demand for telematics antennas, expansion of adas communication.

The rising demand for connected vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive smart antenna market going forward. Connected vehicles are automobiles equipped with technologies that allow them to communicate with other vehicles, infrastructure, and external devices. Demand for connected vehicles is increasing due to their ability to enhance convenience, safety, and operational efficiency through features such as real-time navigation, remote diagnostics, and advanced driver-assistance functions. Automotive smart antennas play a critical role in enabling these capabilities by strengthening vehicle connectivity and communication performance. These antennas use advanced technologies to improve signal quality, support higher data transmission speeds, and ensure more reliable wireless communication between vehicles and external networks. For example, in December 2024, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety projected that approximately 4.5 million self-driving vehicles would be operating on U.S. roads by 2030. Therefore, the growing demand for connected vehicles is driving the expansion of the automotive smart antenna market.

Major companies in the automotive smart antenna market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as transparent antennas, to enhance connectivity solutions and maintain a competitive advantage. Transparent antennas are integrated directly into vehicle glass surfaces, providing improved signal reception for communication systems including GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks. For instance, in December 2023, LG Electronics, a South Korea-based electronics company, in collaboration with Saint-Gobain Sekurit, a France-based automotive glass manufacturer, introduced a transparent antenna designed for automotive applications. This film-type antenna is applied directly to vehicle glass and supports multiple connectivity technologies, including 5G, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and Wi-Fi. Its compatibility with various glass types and vehicle designs allows both on-glass and in-glass integration, delivering scalable and reliable telecommunications performance to meet increasing network demands in connected vehicles.

In October 2023, Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (USI), a China-based electronics manufacturing and solutions provider, acquired the automotive wireless business of TE Connectivity Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, USI aims to strengthen its automotive connectivity portfolio and expand its capabilities in advanced in-vehicle wireless technologies. TE Connectivity Ltd. is a Switzerland-based company known for providing automotive smart antenna solutions.
