Global 5G mmWave Antennas Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global 5G mmWave Antennas market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2,769 million in 2025 to US$ 67,213 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 57.8% from 2026 to 2032.

5G mmWave antennas are radio frequency radiation and beamforming units targeting the high-frequency bands of 5G New Radio (NR). They typically operate in the millimeter-wave frequency bands defined by 3GPP and are used to achieve high-bandwidth, narrow-beam, and multi-user MIMO connections at the terminal and base station sides. On the terminal side, Qualcomm's QTM series modules (such as QTM545 and QTM565) are known as fifth-generation 5G millimeter-wave antenna modules. They integrate phased arrays, transceiver front-ends, and power management into a compact package, providing extended millimeter-wave band support and power optimization for mobile terminals such as smartphones.

From a product classification perspective, the first category is terminal-side packaged antenna modules, including AiP or antenna-integrated modules used in mobile phones, portable terminals, and CPEs. This category is provided by Qualcomm, pSemi, Murata, and manufacturers responsible for packaging and module integration, such as USI and advanced packaging companies. The second category is network-side phased array panels and waveguide antenna solutions. For example, Gapwaves provides high-efficiency millimeter-wave phased array platforms for 5G base stations, indoor solutions, and fixed wireless access terminals. Its proprietary waveguide technology emphasizes low loss, high integration, and good heat dissipation. The third category is external and custom millimeter-wave antennas and subsystems. For example, Taoglas provides external 5G antennas that can operate down to the millimeter-wave band for high-throughput wireless connectivity, fixed wireless access, and point-to-point links.

In 2025, global 5G mmWave Antenna sales reached approximately 544,388 K Units, with an average global market price of around 5.2 US$/Units. Production capacity reached 600,000 K Units, with a gross profit margin of approximately 40%.

Global 5G mmWave Antennas key players include Qualcomm Technologies, Universal Scientific Industrial (USI), Taoglas, Fujikura and Murata (pSemi), etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share above 95%.

The largest market is North America, has a share above 65%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific, with around 3% and 30% market share respectively.

In terms of product, n257 is the largest segment, with a share over 75%. And in terms of application, the largest application is 5G mmWave Smart Phone, accounting for over 80% of the market. followed by Routers & CPE, and 5G mmWave Base Station, etc.

Flagship smartphones widely adopt millimeter-wave antenna module solutions. Some models have been confirmed to use millimeter-wave antenna modules developed by USI during teardowns, while many others still use Qualcomm's QTM5x5 series AiP solution. On the infrastructure side, operators and equipment manufacturers are building macro base stations, small base stations, indoor distributed systems, and fixed wireless access networks by using Gapwaves' phased array panels, the millimeter-wave phased array modules jointly developed by Movandi and Doosan, and ALCAN's indoor LCD arrays. As millimeter-wave deployment extends from densely populated urban areas to indoor enterprises, industrial parks, and connected vehicle scenarios, the value chain is expected to shift from simple hardware supply to a collaborative model of "chip + packaging module + system integration," providing antenna and module manufacturers with cross-layer design and verification capabilities with greater bargaining power.
