Aircraft Antenna Market 2024 - 2030 Industry Analysis by Regions, Types and Application
Aircraft Antenna Market is expected to grow rapidly at a 7.89% CAGR consequently, it will grow from its existing size of from $508.56 billion in 2023 to $ 697.67 billion by 2030.
A radio frequency antenna is used to guide the aircraft. The antenna is used for communication with other aircraft or ground-based control stations. aircraft antenna is primarily used for communication and navigation.
These antennas can be installed at the top or bottom of an airplane. In the market, the most recent trend is to develop reconfigurable liquid-based antennas that can be adapted for different aircraft. Different types of antennas such as communication and loop antennas provide real-time data for applications in communication, navigation, and surveillance.

Recent Developments
July 2023: Naval Air Systems Command announced a USD 22 million contract to BAE Systems plc. It is for an electronically steered OE-120/UPX antenna group for shipboard identification and air traffic management. The BAE Systems OE-120 antenna group for shipboard radar is an electronically steerable antenna that shipboard operators can redirect within 50 microseconds to interrogate any target on the horizon.
June 2023: ThinKom and Kontron collaborated on a Ka-band antenna for aircraft. The antenna combines Kontron's ACE Flight 4783 dual modem Modman server integrated with ThinKom's ThinAir Ka2517 phased-array antenna. The antenna allows for interoperability between Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) systems.
Latest Trends
In the aerospace and defence sector, 3D printing is increasingly used to create complex 3D electromagnetic structures. 3D printing has an advantage in on-site production. Transporting parts and supplies is expensive, both in terms of time and money. With additive manufacturing, custom components are created on site.
A globally distributed manufacturing network can increase overall efficiency and save money. Businesses are able to maintain appropriate inventories to maximize output, while creating new value chains in different industries. Through advanced technologies, 3D printing offers OEMs the opportunity to produce antenna sealants and connectors.
Driving Factors
Market growth will be driven by the increasing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial and military applications
The global market is driven by a surge in aircraft upgrades, an increase in military UAV training, and the adoption of advanced communication and navigation systems. Military agencies invest in developing military-class drones that can be used on battlefields. In such UAV military applications, reliable communication is a crucial aspect. The industry is growing as major key players get productive accreditation. This encourages market growth towards innovations and operational resemblance.
Restraining Factors
Government regulations and the growing number of aircraft backlogs will slow down market growth
The ongoing pandemics and war situations are causing severe disruption to supply and distribution chains. The airline operators also have not been able to make a profit.
Cancellations of aircraft orders are a major factor in limiting the growth of the market. Boeing's retaliation against the BOEING 737 Max contract led to a decline in aircraft deliveries. These incidents have affected the market growth over the past few years. Initial aircraft antennas are expensive and vary in price depending on the sector.
Segmentation
The military segment will experience the highest growth during the forecast period
In response to the increasing military expenditures in countries all over the world, plans were made for the procurement of new aircraft generation and the modernization of aircraft that already exist with advanced technology.
The US Department of Defense requested USD 753 billion for FY 2022 to create a lethal, agile and innovative joint force. The DoD had planned to invest this budget in the development and production of long-range attack aircraft, sixth-generation combat planes, and future attack reconnaissance aircraft. The programs are still in their early stages.
This allows the antenna manufacturers to capture new contracts to boost their market presence.
In March 2023, for example, the United States Air Force Research Laboratory contracted with ThinKom Solutions, Inc., to deliver a modular, scalable phased array antenna solution (ThinKom Gateway Array). The offering was initially funded as a contract for development and takes advantage ThinKom’s patented Variable Inclination Transverse Stub architecture (VICTS).
The UAV segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period
The UAV segment will grow the fastest in the aircraft antenna market based on the type of aircraft during the forecast period. UAVs are becoming more widely used in the defense industry, which has led to a boom in the aircraft antenna market. UAVs fly at lower speeds and are subject to fewer environmental standards than manned aircraft. As a result, UAV antennas are smaller in size and lighter in mass.
Regional Insights
The Asia-Pacific Region will be the region with the highest demand during the forecast period
This unprecedented growth is being backed by the large number of aircraft that are scheduled to be delivered in the future to carriers within this region. The increasing fleet of aircraft helps the airlines increase connectivity within and between the Asia-Pacific region, supporting a variety of industries such as tourism and trade.
As travelers demand better connectivity onboard, the new aircraft have advanced antenna systems. To enhance the passenger experience, companies are offering new IFC services.
The growth in military spending by countries within the region also supports the development and acquisition of advanced military aircraft of the latest generation. China, for example, has proposed a budget of USD 225 billion in FY2023, 7.2% more than its FY2022 budget. This is the eighth consecutive increase in China's military spending.
