Based on type, the market is divided into electronically steered and mechanically steered. The mechanically steered segment is expected to register a CAGR of over 32% during the forecast period.
 

• The mechanically steered antennas segment encompasses antennas equipped with mechanical mechanisms for beam steering and pointing. These antennas utilize motors, gears, and actuators to physically adjust the antenna's orientation, directing the beam toward the desired satellite or target.
   
• While mechanically steered antennas may have slower response times compared to electronically steered counterparts, they offer reliability and robustness, making them suitable for applications in satellite communication, maritime, aviation, and military sectors. Despite the cost-effectiveness of mechanically steered antennas, they remain integral components in scenarios where precise pointing and tracking of satellites or targets are essential, ensuring continuous connectivity even in challenging environments or adverse weather conditions.
   

Based on end use, the market is divided into aviation, telecommunications, military, commercial, and others. The telecommunications segment dominated the global market with a share of over 38% in 2023.
 

• Telecommunications encompasses the transmission of data, voice, and video over long distances through various communication mediums. In the context of the flat panel antenna market, telecommunications play a crucial role in driving the demand for advanced communication solutions including flat panel antennas. These antennas are utilized in telecommunications infrastructure for applications such as satellite communication, wireless broadband networks, and mobile communication systems.
   
• With the growing demand for high-speed and reliable connectivity, telecommunications operators and service providers rely on flat panel antennas to deliver seamless communication services to consumers, businesses, and government entities. The adoption of flat panel antennas in telecommunications infrastructure enables enhanced coverage, increased capacity, and improved network performance, contributing to the expansion and evolution of telecommunications networks worldwide.
   

North America dominated the global flat panel antenna market in 2023, accounting for a share of over 37%. The overall market in North America is experiencing significant growth, driven by several factors. The region's strong emphasis on technological innovations, digital transformation, and the increasing demand for high-speed connectivity across various industries contribute to market expansion.
