Automotive V2X Antenna Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2030)

The automotive V2X antenna market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 38% during the forecast period 2022-2030. As the world is progressing towards autonomous driving, V2X technology is becoming an inherent part of modern cars. It is paving the path for a more efficient and safer driving environment as it enables vehicles to communicate with other vehicles, infrastructure, and vulnerable pedestrians among others. Furthermore, the V2X going forward will be the only sensor that could detect objects which are not in the line of sight of the driver or the sensors and will be warned of road accidents, traffic congestions, diversions, and other potential road hazards thus helping in efficient traffic management and increased road safety. Moreover, V2X technology is one of the integral enablers of the connected car ecosystem which will eventually lead to autonomous driving. However, for the V2X system to work efficiently it has to communicate with the world through high bandwidth, low latency, and has to be highly reliable enabling the communication of vehicles to everything. This can happen only by the implementation of wireless communication and the use of various protocols such as GNSS, cellular 5G/4G/LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, and ultra-wideband (UWB). And Antennas play an important role in establishing and maintaining effective wireless connectivity in and among the networks of interest and are some of the key drivers which are boosting the demand for automotive V2X antennas and can be seen in the investments and research which are happening in this industry. For instance, on March 2023, Bengaluru-based IISc (Indian Institute of Science) released a statement, where they have stated that Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) are working on building antennas that can empower 6G technology, which is imperial in realizing efficient V2X (Vehicle to Everything) communications. Such full-duplex antennas are particularly important for applications that require almost instantaneous relay of commands, like driverless cars.

Some of the major players operating in the market include Danlaw, Inc; Qualcomm Technologies, Inc; Cohda Wireless; Continental AG; Robert Bosch GmbH; HARMAN International; Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd; NTT DOCOMO; Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson; and Ficosa Internacional SA

Insights Presented in the Report

 Based on antenna type, the market is segmented into planar, non-planar, and conformal antennae. Among these, the smart conformal antenna is showing a promising future and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Conformal antennas are flat antennas that appear outside of the car body structure. Unlike conventional antennas, which protrude outside of the vehicle roof, this surface structure enables the integration of more radio technologies than conventional antennas. Furthermore, V2X is an integral part of all conformal antennas that the companies are launching and the mounting of these antennas on both front and back can give full 360-degree coverage to the V2X system, making it more efficient and reliable. Moreover, conformal antennas cost less than conventional antennas due to the elimination of all the cables and connectors, as well as the manufacturing cost of the antennas themselves, further boosting the adoption and growth of this in the coming years.

Based on technology type, the market is bifurcated into DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) and C-V2X. The DSRC segment holds a significant share of the market. The major reason for this domination was simply because, until 2017, DSRC was been the only available V2X technology. But the development of C-V2X which runs on more powerful cellular modules and is more reliant, and can support high-speed data exchange over extended distances is bound to take away the market share from the DSRC systems and is expected to witness significant growth in the forecast years. For instance, In November 2018, an agreement of C-V2X standards cooperation framework protocol on the reinforcing management of vehicles, intelligent transportation, communication, and transportation management was jointly signed by National Technical Committee 485 on Communications of Standardization Administration of China, which has standardized the use of C-V2X architecture in China. This decision is taken amidst China facing major mobility challenges in the major cities, with lots of traffic jams and accidents. C-V2X is regarded as an efficient tool for these problems, and the Chinese government wants to implement this as a standard sooner rather than later.

 “North America dominated the automotive V2X antenna market in 2021.”

The automotive V2X antenna market in the North American region held the largest market share and is expected to maintain its growth throughout the forecast period. North America is one of the biggest markets of passenger vehicles with almost 287 million passenger cars running on American roads and has a penetration of an average of 1.88 vehicles per household in the US and around 700 cars per 1000 people in North America, making it one of the highest in the world. The fundamental forces that played out for this high penetration are the early adoption of passenger cars with the industrial revolution and the economy of America which has been built around the automobile industry. American society relies heavily on their cars making it the most used mode of transportation, where almost 75 percent of American commuters use their own car to travel between their home to work. Car travel being an everyday life event has created a significant market for automotive V2X antennas, as the rising traffic on the pre-existing infrastructure will lead to traffic congestion, and safety issues which needs to be managed efficiently. Furthermore, other applications of V2X systems, leading to its mass-scale adoption are road safety-related warnings and alerts, traffic management and optimization, transit, and public transportation management, and commercial vehicle management help make roads safer and more convenient to travel. For instance, as per ITS America, the V2X system can help in almost 80 percent crash reduction, 40 percent roadways capacity increase, and 10 % emission and fuel waste reduction
