The Global Embedded Antenna Systems Market size is expected to reach $7.5 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 14.7% CAGR during the forecast period.

Embedded antennas are a type of antenna that makes use of metamaterials to boost the performance of small antenna systems. The goal of these antennas, like any other electromagnetic antenna, is to introduce energy into space. Furthermore, metamaterials are materials created with unique, typically microscopic patterns to provide strange physical characteristics, which are used in this kind of antenna. Metamaterials in antenna designs can increase the antenna's radiated power. The majority of the signal is reflected back to the source by conventional antennas, which are quite tiny in comparison to the wavelength. Due to its innovative construction, a metamaterial antenna seems to be much larger because it retains and re-radiates energy.

COVID-19 Impact

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted various domains of business. COVID-19 had an influence not only on the operations of industries that provide diverse embedded components and solutions, but also on businesses that use these goods and solutions. Lockdown has a worldwide impact on the semiconductor sector because of the reduced demand for consumer electronics. The continued decline in worldwide sales and export shipments for automobiles is projected to have a negative impact on the semiconductor market. The healthcare industry, on the other hand, is projected to gain from the COVID-19 pandemic, as the need for ventilators and other modern medical equipment grows globally.

High-speed internet access has become one of the most critical characteristics in digitally sophisticated workplaces as the volume of connected devices grows.

Market Restraining Factors

Requirement for reduction of stock-keeping units (SKUs)

OEMs are forced to develop numerous SKUs of the same IoT devices linked to wide area network (WAN) technology due to differences in spectrum allotment between countries. As 2G and 3G networks are faded out and devices shift to LTE and 5G, a technology with far more than 40 frequency bands, is projected to continue. The number of spectral bands that OEMs must consider for antenna design is growing with 5G. Using active antenna tuning, smartphone makers may reduce the requirement for various SKUs. Even yet, distinct product SKUs are required for different locations by these firms. Although it is becoming more common, IoT devices are less complicated and seldom incorporate active antenna adjustment.
