The helical antenna market size is projected to reach US$ 1427 million by 2031 from US$ 915.32 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.7% in 2023–2031. The rise in connected devices and growing UAV deployments are likely to remain key helical antenna market trends.
The features of helical antenna, such as simple design, high directivity, wide bandwidth, robust construction, and use at VHF and HF bands, lead to its adoption. The helical antenna market growth is gaining traction owing to its wide application. These antennas' maximum directivity and circular polarization of transmitted electromagnetic waves make them useful for satellite and space probe communications. It is used for telemetry links through ballistic missiles. Many satellites, including those for weather and data relay, use helical antennas.
A helical antenna is one of the types of broadband antenna, which is also called a helix antenna. This is one of the most basic, realistic, and uncomplicated antenna designs that uses a conducting wire wound in a helical configuration. These antennas are used widely in ultra-high frequencies and work in VHF & UHF ranges. This antenna is specially designed with a large bandwidth, a high gain, and circular polarization. This antenna operates in the frequency range of 30MHz0-3GHz. This antenna is utilized in radio astronomy, wireless networking, satellite communications, and space communication applications like satellite relays.
The helical antenna finds its application in various communication systems such as satellite & space probe communications. It is also used for satellites at Earth stations and telemetry links through ballistic missiles. Therefore, the helical antenna market players are engaged in various strategic organic and inorganic growth strategies to cater to this rise in demand, which further fosters the helical antenna market. For instance, in May 2023, Calian announced the launch of the dual-band low-profile HC871SXF to its industry-leading line of helical GNSS antennas. The dual-band GNSS HC871SXF helical antenna is ideal for lightweight, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation and a wide variety of precision applications.
There has been a significant rise in the proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, across the military and defense sectors. They are employed for both operational and strategic reconnaissance as well as battlefield surveillance. They can also directly intervene on the battlefield by dropping or firing precision-guided munitions themselves or indirectly by designating targets for such munitions to be dropped or fired from manned systems. As helical antenna has high bandwidth, they are widely used for the automated UAV tracking system. It allows the Air Force to use the antenna as a log range GPS UAV ground control station antenna without having the requirement of multiple antennae. Thus, the rise in UAVs generates the demand for helical antennae.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of helical antenna market analysis are type and application.
The geographic scope of the helical antenna market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America/South & Central America.
In terms of revenue, North America accounted for the largest helical antenna market share in 2023. Asia Pacific region is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. APAC has developing countries that are focused on strengthening its military sector. They are engaged to strengthen their communication system, which leads to the demand for the helical antenna which operates in high-frequency bands. They are focused on modernizing its military to compete with other countries and reduce its dependency on Russian-origin equipment. Thus, such focus by the military sector is likely to lead to the development of helical antenna production sites and new entrants in the market.
