Analysis Strategic Insights Market Drivers Regional Insights Report Scope Recent Developments FAQs

The airport antenna market was valued at US$ 1.27 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 1.99 billion by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.

An antenna is a device that receives and transmits electrical signals. Antennas play an important role in airports to facilitate mobile telephony, satellite communication, and wireless local area networks. An aircraft uses radio frequency antennas to navigate their destinations and communicate with air traffic control. Airport antennas are mainly used for military airports and commercial airports. In military airports, the antennas enable enhanced communication by introducing high frequency, very high frequency, and ultra-high frequency bands. These advanced antenna solutions provide vehicular, ground-based, airborne, and shipboard applications that helps exhibit multiple military operations.

The advancements in airport antenna systems are increasing owing to the rising construction and renovation of new and existing airports across the world. As the number of passengers travelling through flights is increasing, there is a huge deployment of wireless LAN Wi-Fi hotspot antennas in airports to provide high speed internet access to the passengers. The Mobile Mark, Inc., a UK-based company, in October 2019, offered 5G fleet management antennas for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Wi-Fi facilities that would be used for communication, public safety, and vehicle fleet management.
