Millimeter Wave Technology Market Expands with Defense and Security Needs
The global millimeter wave (mmWave) technology market size was valued at USD 3.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 38.55 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 39.7% from 2024 to 2030. Millimeter wave refers to the spectrum band with wavelengths ranging between 30 GHz and 300 GHz. The adoption of mmWave technology is being fueled by its ability to deliver high data rates, low latency, and support for a massive number of devices simultaneously. Rising demand for bandwidth-intensive applications, the use of mmWave in 5G communications, and the increasing need for high-speed IoT connectivity are driving growth. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), international bandwidth usage rose from 292 Tbit/s in 2017 to 1,230 Tbit/s in 2022. This sharp increase highlights the growing reliance on high-speed data transfer, positioning mmWave technology as a critical enabler of enhanced wireless connectivity. The widespread rollout of 5G networks further...
