The global telecom millimeter wave market was valued at USD 300.2 million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 39.7% during the forecast period.

The radio waves between the frequency of 30GHz and 300Ghz are called telecom millimeter waves. Their wavelength ranges from ten to one millimeter, also sometimes referred to as Extremely High Frequency (EHF) range. These waves experience high atmospheric attenuation than the lower bands as their medium of propagation is through the line-of-sight. Although they have a smaller antenna size, the telecom millimeter waves are capable of transferring high speed data maintaining a low latency. Advantages offered by telecom millimeter wave such as high data transmission and high-speed communications has increased its adoption in diverse applications.

The growing adoption of telecom millimeter wave in small-cell backhaul networks drives the growth of this market. The increasing demand for bandwidth requirement coupled with growth in mobile data traffic further supports telecom millimeter wave market growth. The growing penetration of mobile devices, and rising demand from the telecommunication sector and 5G technology is also expected to support market growth during the forecast period. Other factors driving the market include technological advancements, increasing adoption of advanced networking technologies, growing demand for mobility, and growing applications in radar and security sectors. However, negative impact on the environment, and limitations regarding range are factors expected to hinder telecom millimeter wave market growth. Growing demand from defense and aerospace sectors, and increasing applications in autonomous vehicles are factors expected to provide numerous growth opportunities in the coming years.
