Segmentation Analysis:

By Component, in 2024, Solution Segment Led the Market with a Share of 60.08%, while Services are the Fastest-growing Segment with a CAGR of 6.04%

Due to the increasing need for efficient and effective testing solutions for maintaining proper device functioning and working in compliance with connectivity standards and regulations, the Solution segment continues to hold major portion of the overall Over-the-Air (OTA) testing market. Services segment is registering fast-paced growth due to the growing adoption of third-party testing labs, consulting service and managed OTA testing service, particularly by the small and medium-sized enterprises which lack firm infrastructure.

By Testing Type, in 2024, Antenna Testing Led the Market with a Share of 45.60%, while Receiver Testing is the Fastest-growing Segment with a CAGR of 6.26%

The global Over-the-Air (OTA) testing market is dominated by Antenna Testing, as it is the key to optimal signal transmission, network performance, and compliance in 5G, IoT, and other wireless devices. Receiver Testing is witnessing highest growth owing to increasing device complexity, higher data rates and requirement for accurate sensitivity and interference verification.

By Technology, in 2024, 5G Segment Held the Dominant Share of 27.62%, while IoT is the Fastest-growing Segment with a CAGR of 7.67%

The Over-the-Air (OTA) testing market is primarily dominated by 5G technology due to its global rollout, complex network architecture, high-speed connectivity, low-latency applications, and massive device ecosystems. IoT technology is the fastest-growing segment as several connected devices can be found in smart home, issues too as automated apparatus, healthcare and alternative medical care, and automotive chips sectors.

By End Use, in 2024, the Market was Dominated by the Telecommunications Segment 32.40%, while Automotive is the Fastest-growing Segment with a CAGR of 7.82%

The Telecommunications segment accounts for the largest share as the need for testing smartphones, network equipment and connected devices across 5G, Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies is instrumental for optimal connectivity, performance and compliance. Automotive segment will be the fastest-growing mainly due to the exponential rise in demand for connected cars, autonomous vehicles, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication systems.
