The global BTS antenna market declined by 16.3 % in 2010, according to the latest report titled "Global BTS Antenna Market Analysis and Forecast". The decline in 2010 was partly due to the Indian telecom embargo and subsequent freezing of all wireless network deployments in mid 2010 within the country. The market continues to shift away from single band sectorized panel antennas to multi band antennas. As a result, multi-band antennas reached nearly 28% of the overall mix, compared with 10% in 2009.
RET technology emerging and expected to reach 70% by 2015
The global BTS antenna market declined by 16.3 % in 2010, according to the latest report titled "Global BTS Antenna Market Analysis and Forecast, 2010-2015" The decline in 2010 was partly due to the Indian telecom embargo and subsequent freezing of all wireless network deployments in mid 2010 within the country. The market continues to shift away from single band sectorized panel antennas to multi band antennas. As a result, multi-band antennas reached nearly 28% of the overall mix, compared with 10% in 2009.

The BTS antenna market will experience a three year growth cycle from 2011 through 2013 before declining in 2014. However, we believe that the second half of 2011 will be weaker than the first half of 2011, due in part to a slow down for 3G and 4G deployments at AT&T Wireless and 3G deployments at T-Mobile USA in North America. This is a result of the pending merger between the two mobile operators. Multi-band BTS antennas grew 128% year over year and are expected to increase by another 50% through 2013 as demands for reducing site costs are driving the adoption of this technology. The emergence of the new 800MHz Digital Dividend spectrum in Europe and Asia Pacific as well the 2600MHz LTE spectrum is also driving demand for multi band antennas.

Remote electrical tilt (RET) enabled variable electrical tilt (VET) antennas continues to gain market acceptance and reached a penetration rate of 29% in 2010 and we expect that this segment will become the largest segment by 2012. We also believe that the introduction of active antenna solutions from Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks validates the concept that was spearheaded by antenna start-up Ubidyne GmbH.

China and India continued to be the largest BTS antenna markets in 2010 at a combined 18%, however we forecast that North America and Western Europe will have the strongest growth profiles through 2013.

The report provides a unique perspective on the global shipments and demand for BTS antenna equipment covering all frequency bands from 450MHz to 2600MHz and the following standards: GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA/HSPA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and FDD/TDD LTE.
