The increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the on-glass antenna market in the coming years. Electric and hybrid vehicles are those that rely on electric motors either exclusively or alongside internal combustion engines, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. This surge in demand is primarily due to the global shift toward more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions, with both consumers and industries focusing on lowering carbon emissions. On-glass antennas play a key role in this trend by providing compact, efficient, and high-performance connectivity solutions crucial for modern electric and hybrid vehicles, supporting advanced infotainment, telematics, navigation, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. For example, in April 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that global electric vehicle sales reached nearly 14 million in 2023, accounting for 18% of total car sales, up from 14% in 2022. This rising trend in electric and hybrid vehicle adoption is driving the growth of the on-glass antenna market.

Leading companies in the on-glass antenna market are developing window-integrated antennas to enhance urban connectivity, expand 5G coverage affordably, and preserve building aesthetics in densely populated areas. A window-integrated on-glass antenna is seamlessly embedded into building windows, enabling wireless signal transmission and expanding coverage while maintaining the architectural integrity of the structure. For instance, in August 2024, JTower, a Japan-based telecommunications infrastructure sharing company, partnered with NTT Docomo, a Japanese telecommunications company, to introduce a 5G glass antenna in Tokyo, transforming building windows into 5G base stations. JTower intends to extend this solution beyond its initial installation at the Shinjuku 3-chome East Building to other properties already equipped with its shared 5G infrastructure.

In August 2024, JTower, a Japan-based infrastructure sharing company, partnered with AGC Corporation and NTT Docomo for the commercial deployment of 5G glass antennas at the Shinjuku 3-chome East Building in Tokyo. Through this partnership, JTower, AGC, and NTT Docomo aim to combine their respective advanced technologies by integrating JTower's 5G-compatible shared infrastructure platform with AGC's on-glass antenna technology and NTT Docomo's technical expertise in cellular network deployment to deliver an aesthetically friendly and efficient 5G coverage solution for urban areas. This collaboration improves communication in locations where maintaining building aesthetics is essential, such as outdoor event spaces and streets adjacent to buildings, ultimately supporting the efficient expansion of 5G and the broader adoption of infrastructure sharing. AGC Corporation is a Japan-based company specializing in glass manufacturing and advanced materials, including on-glass antenna solutions, while NTT Docomo is a Japan-based telecommunications provider offering mobile network services and technical support for 5G infrastructure.

This on-glass antenna market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

An on-glass antenna is a type of antenna directly integrated onto a vehicle’s glass surface, typically the windshield or rear window. It is designed to provide wireless connectivity, such as GPS, cellular, or radio signals, without the need for a protruding external antenna. This design improves the vehicle’s aesthetics and reduces aerodynamic drag while maintaining reliable signal reception. On-glass antennas are widely used in modern vehicles for both communication and infotainment systems.

The main types of on-glass antennas include amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) antennas, global positioning system (GPS) antennas, cellular antennas, and wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) antennas. An AM or FM antenna transmits or receives radio signals by converting electromagnetic waves into electrical signals for amplitude- or frequency-modulated broadcasting. These antennas operate across frequency ranges such as very high frequency (VHF), ultra high frequency (UHF), and super high frequency (SHF), and are used in vehicles including passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Applications include automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics, with distribution through original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket.North America was the largest region in the on-glass antenna market in 2025.
