Automotive Intelligent Antenna Module Market Size

The global automotive intelligent antenna module market was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2024 and is estimated to register a CAGR of 10.5% between 2025 and 2034. The expansion of the market is due to factors such as the increase in demand for autonomous vehicles and ADAS systems. As for the autonomous vehicle market, its value is projected to rise from USD 2 trillion this year to USD 6.1 trillion by 2032, which is more than a 13.5% increase.
 

Automotive Intelligent Antenna Module Market

Vehicles that are self-driven and use ADAS technology require smart antenna modules to connect with satellites, other vehicles, and roadside systems instantaneously. These antennas assist with navigation using positioning systems for geolocation and enable vehicles to communicate about traffic, danger zones, and traffic signals with each other. The antennas also assist in the transmission of data among sensors, radars, and control units, which makes it possible for adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and collision avoidance systems to function correctly. These technologies allow vehicles to better interpret their environment and therefore aid safer decision-making processes.

Also, due to the increasing pursuit of seamless in-car experiences that aim to transform vehicles into entertainment and communication centers, the market is experiencing growth. Infotainment systems allow for entertainment with streaming services and voice control navigation through the use of smartphone integration via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology. Intelligent antenna modules facilitate these services by providing constant, smooth, high-speed connectivity for uninterrupted data transfer. Performing these modules improves the performance of satellite navigation and streaming services in areas with weak signals. The total radiation and intermodulation interference from multiple antennas integrated into a single assembly is reduced, which increases the reliability of the system.
 

Prior to the deployment of intelligent antenna modules, vehicles used to have separate antennas for wireless functions such as GPS, radio, cellular, and Wi-Fi, which complicated vehicle designs. However, these new modules have enabled GPS and Wi-Fi with cellular functions to be integrated into one unit, thus making vehicles lighter and easier to install. This transformation economically benefits manufacturers in the sense that they are able to build vehicles that are easily fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, lessening the amount of gas that is emitted into the environment.
 

Additionally, this transformation enables a large component reduction ensuring that upkeep costs are reduced while the entire system is enhanced in terms of reliability, thereby making the new modules highly beneficial for car makers looking to enhance performance while also reducing costs.?
 

Automotive Intelligent Antenna Module Market Trends

Across the globe, there are regulatory mandates in place that ensure the safety of individuals operating a vehicle. Two of those mandates include the eCall initiative and the precision driving requirement, which ensures that when an emergency occurs with a vehicle, the entire system is notified. The eCall mandate ensures that 999 is automatically dialed when a serious car crash occurs, while at the same time sending airbag, GPS, and impact sensor data into emergency departments. Also, intelligent antenna modules help with the communication by ensuring a stable cellular network for the emergency services.
 

All relevant data is transferred automatically, including the location of the vehicle and how bad the crash was, allowing the emergency services to act as soon as possible and ensuring compliance with the eCall mandate. In order to protect the passengers while meeting these mandates, antenna technologies are constantly advancing to meet the required performance and reliability standards.
 

While the intelligent antenna modules market for the automotive sector continues to expand, bringing in the competition, some companies are always experiencing hindrances when releasing their products. Imagine having to compete against established development and release cycles, which is a common practice nowadays.
 

A perfect case example is Quectel Wireless; their wide array of GNSS modules, required for all electric vehicles, were released after years of market research in November of 2024. The L89H, LG69T, and LC29H are to name a few of their IMU integrated dual antenna modules. What truly makes these GNSS modules stand out is their ability to integrate multiple devices such as drones and satellites. Quectel Wireless focuses primarily on the Indian market; however, they also cater to both the aftermarket and OEM, with their automotive modules alongside antennas.
 

Substantial maintenance of multiple networks, such as LTE, LTE-A, and ULT, is essential throughout the integration of intelligent antenna modules, which results in a gradual increase in costs. Primarily, investment is required for software of high quality along with reinforcement of the system. More importantly though, automotive manufacturers are expected to shift their focus towards achieving a balance between cost and performance, specifically for lower to mid-range cars.
