The "Global Commercial Vehicle Antenna Market 2017-2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global commercial vehicle antenna market to grow at a CAGR of 8.45% during the period 2017-2021.

One trend in the market is development of multiband disk puck antennas for CVs. Most antennas used in CVs do not offer a stable coverage pattern. This leads to poor antenna connectivity. As a result, there is loss of business-critical data. This creates the need for stable antenna coverage, particularly for CVs that require real-time fleet tracking. LAIRD, a prominent vendor in the antenna market, developed multiband disk puck antennas in 2016.

One driver in the market is rise of embedded cellular connectivity in vehicles. Vehicle users are governed by the increasing need to stay connected to the external world. Vehicle connectivity enhances navigation capabilities and safety quotient of drivers and the passengers. The embedded cellular connectivity is considered the most reliable method to ensure connectivity in vehicles. The growing adoption of this technology in the CV segment is considered a crucial driver for the global commercial vehicle antenna market. Embedded cellular connectivity is a key feature of modern passenger cars. The CV segment, too, is expected to witness the adoption of this technology during the forecast period. This is expected to be a crucial driver for the adoption of antennas in CVs on a global basis.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is inability of antennas to pick up signals from every direction. The requirement of antennas in CVs is increasing. The inefficiency of antennas to pick signals in correspondence to changes in the vehicle's moving direction is a major challenge that restricts the use of antennas in CVs. The use of antenna array, which incorporates multiple antennas in circularity, helps in dealing with the issue of directionality.
