Market Synopsis

Global mmWave Sensors and Modules Market was valued at USD 73 Million in 2018; it is expected to reach USD 532.9 Million by the end of the forecast period at a CAGR of 33.2%.

Millimeter waveband is the subset of microwave (radio wave spectrum band) which operates in the broad category of wireless data transmission. Millimeter-wave radios require very small antennas, measured in inches as compared to Wi-Fi and other wireless connectivity technologies. The current scope of the millimeter wave technology market covers sensors and modules such as radar communication systems, satellite communication systems, and telecommunication equipment. mmWave sensors and modules are used for virtual reality devices to provide HD audio and video transmission. Due to the need for small-sized components, mmWave can be used in mobile devices to enable highly secure transmission of data. The rising demand for high-speed data in mobile phones and mobile broadband, high-definition gaming, high- definition multimedia, and over-the-top (OTT) services are expected to drive the mmWave sensor and modules market in the forecast period.

The mmWave sensors and modules can also function in low visibility and extreme weather conditions such as smoke, fog, rain, and thunderstorm with minimal noise. In most of the applications, mmWave sensors and modules are more superior than microwave- or infrared-based sensor technologies. The adoption of mmWave sensors and modules in the field of automotive radar applications is rapidly increasing in automotive long-range radar (LRR), advanced avionics navigation systems, and instrument landing systems (ILS). Panasonic Corporation has developed wide-angle scanning and high-precision millimeter-wave radar technology which uses high-frequency radio waves. This technology can detect objects within the range of 40 meters in only 0.1 seconds.

Key  Developments

• In January 2019, Vubiq developed a hardware/software millimeter-wave hyper imaging system. This system is able to code and decode chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tags with a higher order of magnitude as compared to the existing solutions.

• In March 2019, The Smiths Detection business division added two scanners compliant with ECAC standard 3.1 for its CTX 9800 DSi baggage explosives detection system. It will provide additional flexibility and productivity while maintaining the highest level of security.

• In February 2016, NEC Corporation launched iPASOLINK EX, a millimeter-based ultra-compact radio communication system to make an ideal product for use in mobile backhaul networks for high-speed mobile services such as 5G and LTE-Advanced.
