According to ResearchAndMarkets, the 5G Smart Antenna Market by Type (Switched Multi-Beam Antenna and Adaptive Array Antenna), Technology (SIMO, MISO, and MIMO), Use Case, Application, and Region 2020-2025 report outlines that the market for 5G smart antennas in IoT will reach $3.3B by 2025. Smart antenna arrays use Multiple Input / Multiple Output (MIMO) at both the source (transmitter) and the destination (receiver) to improve signal quality. This is in contrast to non-array systems in which a single antenna (and signal path) is used at the source and the destination. The market for smart antennas is nothing new as they provide efficient coverage for 2G, 3G, and LTE. However, 5G smart antennas will be necessary to provide mobility support for many new and enhanced apps and services such as virtual reality, self-driving cars, connected vehicles, and Voice over 5G (Vo5G).
Key Report Findings
- The market for 5G smart antennas in IoT will reach $3.3B by 2025
- 5G will provide continuous mobility largely within only metropolitan areas
- Smart antennas will be invaluable for continuous voice over 5G (Vo5G) coverage
- In addition to network optimization, smart antennas reduce energy needs and other resources
- 5G antennas will be an absolute requirement to support the smart cities market and related services

The report also assesses 5G smart antenna support of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, providing forecasts for IoT applications. The report includes detailed revenue forecasts as well as projected smart antenna shipments from 2020 to 2025.
Once 5G networks are operational, continuous Vo5G coverage will be facilitated by directing RF where it is needed. In absence of 5GNR for Voice over NR (VoNR) coverage, Vo5G calls will need to hand-over to LTE, analogous to how LTE handover to 3G was accounted for in 4G deployments. However, there is a big difference. Unlike LTE, which is becoming increasingly ubiquitous (especially in metro areas), 5GNR will be more constrained and thus needing smart antennas to direct RF signals to optimize QoE for VoNR.
The anticipated global market for SIMO (Single Input Multiple Output), MISO (Multiple Input Single Output), and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 5G smart antennas will be $2.2M, $1.9M, and $1.9M respectively by 2025. These systems will support a variety of applications including many advanced enterprise solutions and industrial automation services. We see the global market for switched multi-beam 5G smart antenna solutions reaching $3.6B by 2025. However, adaptive array systems will grow over 55% faster than multi-beam technology, eventually overtaking market share.
