EMEA Satellite Antenna Market Size (2024 - 2029)

EMEA Satellite Antenna Market Analysis

The EMEA Satellite Antenna Market size is estimated at USD 1.11 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.87 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.93% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The EMEA satellite antenna market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the growing demand for high-speed wireless connectivity. This demand is significantly increasing with the deployment of 5G and the anticipation of 6G networks. 5G satellite communication supports improving mobile broadband services. This technology is used in mission-critical communications that provide low latency and uninterrupted network availability for applications like autonomous vehicles, remote control of critical infrastructure, etc.
• The market is witnessing advancements like flat panels, interoperable, and mobile communication. The rising adoption of electronically steered antennas (ESA) in aerospace and defense presents lucrative growth avenues for industry participants. In March 2024, Hanwha Phasor, a UK-based satellite communications company, announced the upcoming Phasor L3300B land antenna for mobile communications. The Phasor L3300B, an active electronically steered antenna (AESA), is tailored for commercial and military applications. Its main feature is maintaining seamless communication since it facilitates dual simultaneous receive channels. This allows the antenna to establish connections with new satellites without interrupting its current link.
• According to the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (PPP), a joint initiative by the European Commission and the European ICT Industry, Europe was midway through its 5G journey in 2023. While 5G coverage reached 72% penetration, it is important to note that this figure includes non-standalone deployments. However, the full-scale commercial implementation of 5G, especially in industrial settings, is still on the horizon, promising significant revenue potential.
• As per the GSMA report 2024, many new 5G markets, primarily in developing regions such as Africa (highlighting Ethiopia and Ghana), are set to launch their networks. Moreover, 5G adoption in sub-Saharan Africa was under 1% in 2023; projections indicate a substantial rise, aiming for 17%, catering to 234 million connections by 2030.
• The market faces challenges from the high costs of phased array and electronically steered antennas, alongside regulatory hurdles limiting antenna growth. Meeting regulatory standards and obtaining licenses poses a challenge for manufacturers, particularly for companies operating across diverse regulatory landscapes. Adhering to these standards not only adds complexity but also increases costs for antenna manufacturers.
• The pandemic accelerated the shift toward remote and hybrid work, amplifying the need for reliable internet connectivity for managing work even from remote areas. Additionally, the rise of telehealth services that require robust communication networks is well supported by satellite technologies.

EMEA Satellite Antenna Industry Segmentation

The EMEA satellite antenna market tracks the revenue accrued from the sale of satellite antenna devices/equipment for communication purposes in various application areas offered by market vendors in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. Satellite antennas are primarily used to provide communication paths with other satellites, as well as with the earth stations. A typical satellite antenna consists of three main components: antenna structure, beam-forming network, and feed system.

The EMEA satellite antenna report is segmented by frequency band (C band, K/KU/KA band, S and L band, X band, VHF and UHF band, and other frequency bands), antenna type (flat panel antenna, parabolic reflector antenna, horn antenna, fiberglass reinforced plastic antenna, iron antenna with mold stamping, and other antenna types), application (space, land, maritime, and airborne) and country (the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and the Rest of EMEA). The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value (USD) for all the above segments.
