Cellular IoT antenna shipments reached 757 million units in 2025
Antennas are one of the key components of wireless devices and play a central role in determining wireless performance, coverage and power efficiency. Even though an antenna is a conceptually basic passive component, there are many challenges associated with the implementation of antennas. Antenna performance depends not only on the antenna element itself, but also on how the antenna is integrated into the device or system. Complexity is also increased by the need to support multiple cellular frequency bands, regional variants and in many cases other technologies such as GNSS, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. As a result, the cellular IoT antenna market is characterized by a fragmented vendor landscape, broad product portfolios and continuous demand for customisation and technical support services.
The analyst estimates that annual shipments of cellular IoT antennas, including internal and external antennas, amounted to 757 million units in 2025, up 23% from the previous year. Until 2030, cellular IoT antenna shipments are forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% to reach 1.1 billion at the end of the period.
The analyst divides the cellular IoT antenna market into three segments: internal, external and OEM automotive antennas. There is generally limited overlap between the vendor landscapes of the internal antenna, external antenna and OEM automotive antenna segments. Overall, the cellular IoT antenna market is served by a broad range of players of different sizes, with distinct portfolio strategies and varying degrees of specialisation in antennas. Some of the largest players have built their presence in the space through acquisitions, using M&A to broaden their portfolios and strengthen channel reach. Despite this, the market remains fragmented due to the breadth of end markets served. Vendors therefore range from major electronic component manufacturers 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 custom antennas. 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 Amphenol Procom and PCTEL), Huber+Suhner, Panorama Antennas, Taoglas, TE Connectivity, 2J Antennas, Airgain, Mobile Mark, Parsec Technologies, Poynting Antennas, Pulse Electronics and Sunnyway Technology. External antennas for the OEM automotive segment are supplied by both major tier-1 automotive suppliers, as well as specialist vendors. Key vendors are Yokowo, Harada, Aumovio and Hirschmann Car Communication.
