Global Automotive Smart Antenna Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

The recent trend in the automotive industry is towards intelligent cars that are fully connected to achieve vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications to enhance safety and performance. The automotive smart antenna fulfils the requirement of new system architectures and therefore links a range of services including eCall, GPS, TV and Car-to-X in one central point, radio, mobile communication, outside of the head unit. Automotive smart antenna provides OEMs an extra edge through providing effective technological structure that allows new architectures, standards, and customer requirements for communication and infotainment services to be integrated in vehicles flexibly, quickly, and in a scalable manner.

The installed smart antenna in vehicles helps in reducing the overall cost and weight reduction due to easier cable routing and reduced cable length. Furthermore, the smart antenna used in the automotive application does not impact the design as they are completely invisible and are not exposed to carwashes, vandalism, and other external forces which makes it more durable and reliable to operate. Moreover, the process cost for OEM is mostly unaffected with the smart antenna installation as antenna delivery are in mirror module and helps in reducing carbon emissions due to no additional air drag.

The automotive smart antenna helps to intelligently combine a tuner, antenna, and transceiver in a single unit and therefore reducing the design complexity. Furthermore, adding intelligence, awareness, and connectivity helps in defining an entirely new landscape of providing safety, infotainment, convenience, and communication for V2X. Moreover, improved connected car user experience, active steering, stronger interference immunity, and better connectivity are the major car benefits offered through installation of automotive smart antenna.
