Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The millimeter wave technology market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides millimeter wave technology market statistics, including millimeter wave technology industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a millimeter wave technology market share, detailed millimeter wave technology market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the millimeter wave technology industry. This millimeter wave technology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The millimeter wave technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.94 billion in 2024 to $3.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to wireless communication evolution, satellite communication, rising demand for broadband services, defense and aerospace applications, and medical imaging applications.

The millimeter wave technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.56 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased bandwidth requirements, environmental sensing and weather monitoring, energy efficiency solutions, IoT connectivity, smart cities initiatives, industrial automation, and rapid urbanization. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in 5g technology, integration with AI, technological advancements in silicon photonics, and integration with machine learning.

The forecast of 24.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs may significantly impact mmWave component availability such as amplifiers, antenna arrays, and filters used in 5G and automotive radar systems. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increasing adoption of autonomous vehicles is projected to stimulate the growth of the millimeter wave technology market in the coming years. Autonomous vehicles are those capable of operating and navigating without human intervention. They utilize a combination of advanced sensors, cameras, radar, lidar, and artificial intelligence algorithms to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and control their movements. Millimeter wave technology facilitates real-time communication for autonomous vehicles, enabling them to exchange large volumes of data and make informed decisions. For example, in 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that electric car sales exceeded 10 million in 2022, representing 14% of all new car sales, up from around 9% in 2021. Thus, the rise in autonomous vehicle adoption is driving the expansion of the millimeter wave technology market.

The expanding adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to contribute to the growth of the millimeter wave technology market. IoT, a networked system of interconnected computing devices and machinery, utilizes millimeter wave technology for high-speed data transfer and increased bandwidth. This technology enables efficient communication by transmitting large amounts of data at very high frequencies. A report by Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunications company, indicates a global IoT connection growth from 13.2 billion connections in 2022 to an expected 34.7 billion connections by 2028, driving the demand for millimeter wave technology.

The millimeter wave technology market is witnessing a notable trend of technological advancements, with major companies actively embracing new technologies to maintain and strengthen their market positions. An example of this trend is seen in the recent introduction by SMK Electronics Corporation, a US-based manufacturing company, of Milweb Millimeter Wave Sensor Technology and Solution in January 2023. This innovative sensor technology employs proprietary algorithms to identify objects, surfaces, and terrain, even measuring an individual's heart rate and respiration at close range. Its applications span across diverse industries, including home automation, automotive manufacturing, healthcare, and safety products. Milweb Millimeter Wave Sensor Technology enables the integration of intelligent technologies, enhancing manufacturers' capabilities to offer products with advanced safety features and functionalities. Its versatility in applications such as health monitoring, security systems, room occupancy detection, and vehicle alert systems opens up new possibilities for improved functionality and safety in various environments.

Major players in the millimeter wave technology industry are adopting strategic partnership approaches to drive innovation and expand market reach, particularly in the realms of high-speed data transmission and 5G technology implementation. For instance, in May 2023, the partnership between ZTE Corporation, a Finland-based provider of information and communication technology solutions, and Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited (AIS), a Thailand-based mobile network operator. This collaboration aims to introduce a new-generation ultra-large-bandwidth millimeter-wave AAU, distinguished as the world's first to support 1.2 GHz bandwidth and above, with a maximum bandwidth of 1.6 GHz.

In June 2022, Quantic Electronics, a US-based electronic components manufacturing company, acquired Microwave Dynamics, a provider of microwave and millimeter-wave components.
