Super High Frequency Communication Market To Reach $7.13 Billion By 2030

Super High Frequency Communication Market Growth & Trends

The global super high frequency communication market size is expected to reach USD 7.13 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16.5% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising conflicts among key countries such as the U.S. and China have forced them to invest heavily in their military spending on technological advancements and security enhancements. This, in turn, has accelerated the deployment of modern wireless communication technologies such as 5G, sub-6.0 GHz, and mm-Wave radio for military usage. Thus, the growing demand for next-generation communication technologies is anticipated to boost demand for super high frequency (SHF) communication systems.

The growing investments and innovations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are expected to drive the market’s growth. The development can be attributed to the growing adoption of LEO satellites for satellite communication applications such as HD video conferencing, gaming, uninterrupted crucial financial transactions, and remote monitoring of assets. Owing to the aforementioned use cases, several key satellite service providers are actively investing massive amounts in launching LEO satellite constellations across the globe. The adoption of super high frequency communication systems in a satellite enables high data transfer rates, greater security, small antennas, and narrow beams.

The growing demand and significant investments in developing radome systems to protect SHF communication systems, with composite materials technology coupled with the high focus on producing compact radome systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are estimated to boost the overall global market growth. However, the complexities involved in designing and manufacturing the communication systems coupled with the high material costs are further expected to hinder the overall global SHF communication market growth. However, the increasing investment influx in technological advances is expected to minimize any hindrances that come in the way of the market’s growth.

The COVID-19 outbreak had an adverse impact on the overall global market, owing to significant disruptions in the global supply chain logistics along with the temporary shutdown of the manufacturing facilities. However, with the shutdowns and global lockdowns, the demand for high-definition video calling, video streaming, and other telecommunication services increased rapidly. The increase in demand for wireless communication is expected to be sustained during the next few years, which creates significant opportunities for the SHF communication market.
