Potential workforce concerns have an impact on the effectiveness and safety of space operations, limiting the number of space exploration flights and posing a hurdle to the flat panel antenna market’s growth. Type Outlook Based on Type, the market is segmented into Electronically steered and Mechanically steered. In 2021, the mechanically steered segment recorded a significant revenue share of the flat panel antenna market. A gimbal is a mechanism made up of rings rotated at particular angles that was initially used to keep a horizontal instrument like a chronometer or compass in a moving ship or plane. A typical Ku/Ka-band antenna is a multi-gimbal, which means the antenna is mechanically controlled to point directly at a satellite by rotating, raising, and lowering the antenna to face the satellite utilizing azimuth and elevation axes, i.e. gimbals. Motors adjust polarization on most gimbal antennas automatically and mechanically. This type of flat panel antenna is used in areas of low-connectivity wider areas such as oceans and deserts. Therefore, this factor is estimated to increase the demand for this type of antenna in the defense sector. This factor would significantly accelerate the growth of this segment of the market over the forecast years. Frequency Outlook Based on Frequency, the market is segmented into Ku, K & Ka band and C & X band. In 2021, the Ku, k and ka segment registered the largest revenue share of the flat panel antenna market. Attributed to the benefits offered by Ku, K, and Ka frequency, which include increased bandwidth and support for applications that require high transmission power. To close RF communications with satellites orbiting at heights far away from the surface of the earth, Ku- and Ka-Band satellite operations require extremely directional antennas. Traditional geostationary satellite systems, which do not require tracking because the satellite’s relative position to the user terminal is stable over time, generally use fixed parabolic reflectors. To sustain connectivity, LEO constellations require tracking as well as satellite-to-satellite handovers. Due to this, the demand for this antenna with Ku, K, and Ka frequency class is rapidly increasing. Hence, this factor is estimated to observe significant growth over the forecasting years. Application Outlook Based on Application, the market is segmented into Military, Aviation, Commercial, Telecommunications, and Others.
