The global flat panel antenna market is expected to grow from USD 408 million in 2022 to USD 1,440
million by 2027, at a CAGR of 28.7%.
Growing investments in space exploration and
satellite launches, rising demand for electronically steered antennas
worldwide, rising demand for innovative and compact antenna systems, and
growing adoption of low cost, low profile antennas in various commercial and
military applications will drive the demand for this market in the near future.
The deployment of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites and constellations of
satellites for communication applications has increased their demand across the
globe. Other factors driving the market growth include growing demand for Ku-
and Ka-band satellites, and the growing fleet of autonomous and connected
vehicles used for various applications in the military and commercial sectors,
which require customized flat panel antennas.
Driver: Rising demand for electronically steered
phased array flat panel antennas
Electronically steered flat panel antennas are
ultra-thin antennas and electronically acquire, steer, and lock a beam to any
satellite. These antennas show great performance efficiency in a very thin,
low-profile package, and are very rugged and completely weatherproof for
extremely long life in harsh environments. Hence these has been a rising demand
for these types of antennas in several critical environments Increased demand
for communication on the move solutions for platforms such as commercial
vehicles, military vehicles, trains, and boats has led to the greater use of
electronically steered phased flat panel antennas (ESPA). These antennas can
track and maintain satellite links even when platforms such as military
vehicles, trains, or boats, are in motion. Hybrid beam steering is used in
these phased array antennas for COTM, both electronically for elevation and
mechanically for azimuth. An antenna terminal steering plays a major role in
acquiring a satellite link. ESPA eliminates mechanical motion.
Restraint: High costs associated with development
and maintenance of infrastructure to support flat panel antennas
The high cost incurred in the development and
maintenance of earth station infrastructure is one of the major factors
hindering market growth. Most of the required components are typically
custom-fabricated or purchased from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vendors,
which is expensive. Besides, the design, development, and construction of these
antennas and their components require several hours of work by trained
personnel. The level of skill required itself poses a significant barrier to
entry. Significant investments are required in the R&D, manufacturing,
system integration, and assembly stages of the value chains of these systems.

Opportunity: Development of ultra-compact, low
profile flat panel antennas for advanced ground combat vehicles
Ultra-compact and low-profile flat panel satellite
antennas are designed to operate with the new generation of Ka-band
high-throughput satellites for any IP-based voice, video, or data
Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLoS) applications. These antennas provide full-duplex
satellite communication, linking advanced ground combat vehicles to ground
control stations. The forward link provides command and control capabilities,
while the return link transfers sensor data. These integrated terminals
comprise very small aperture terminal technologies. For instance, ThinKom
solutions’ ThinPack flat-panel antennas combine the easy, fast setup of
ultra-compact terminals with the power, throughput and performance of their
bulkier counterparts so users can reap the most out of global satellite
broadband.
Challenge: Lack of skilled workforce
Countries such as Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria,
Somalia, Kenya, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan lack a skilled technical
workforce in the space industry. Potential workforce issues affect the safety
and effectiveness of space operations, which further limits the number of space
exploration missions, thereby acting as a challenge to the growth of the flat
panel antenna market. Critical space operations increasingly rely on
well-qualified personnel for various tasks such as R&D, patent development,
and software development & application, among others. Thus, the recruitment
of a technical workforce forms a crucial part of ensuring innovation in
business processes and products in the space industry.
