5G technology has acted as a boon for various applications such as 5G smartphones, IoT, and autonomous vehicles. The key hardware requirement of these 5G end-user applications is active antenna systems. These active antenna systems enable the concept of remote radio head by integrating the antenna and meet 5G challenges of enhanced capacities using space diversity and localized beams via massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. These MIMOs are used in 5G base stations and smartphones. Various companies are working on conducting research and developing 5G-enabled substrate materials for antenna circuit boards. Some of the key market players are DuPont de Nemours, Inc., Hitachi Chemical Company, Ltd., Rogers Corporation, and Toray Industries, Inc. The primary task is to minimize materials costs, complexity, and integrating circuits. Several of these companies are working on enhancing their substrate materials to serve a larger platter of end-use industries.
Countries are working on the deployment of 5G, curating various investment strategies, and collaborations in the market. More than 20+ countries across the world have access to 5G networks now. China, South Korea, and the U.S. are the top players deploying 5G at a breakneck pace in their cities. The key telecom players of various regions have been publicly announcing their 5G contracts for the deployment of 5G in their countries. For instance, North America has AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Europe has a very fragmented telecom sector with a bunch of players such as Orange France, Swisscom, Vodafone Germany, and DiGi, among others. MEA has Zain, Etisalat, and MTN. APAC countries also have significant telecom players such as SK Telecom, SoftBank, LG U+, and Optus. These companies are collaborating with equipment manufacturers and suppliers such as Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia to deploy 5G base station antennas in the base station towers. The growth in deployment of 5G base stations will automatically drive the demand for 5G substrate materials such as PTFE, PEEK, LCPs, and ceramics. These materials accelerate the performance of a 5G circuit board, enhancing the overall efficiency of the device. The shift toward 5G technology also affects the business development and commercialization activities of materials. Firms are aiming at entering the 5G material development segment, leveraging upon the growing demand in the market. Various companies with expertise in advanced chemicals and materials business segments have shown interest in venturing into the 5G substrate materials market. This is due to the high demand and growth prospects of the 5G business segment.

Governments of various countries are strengthening the push toward the development of 5G substrate materials and infrastructure to lead in the 5G race. Organizations are researching and developing new materials that can achieve a breakthrough in the 5G industry. Material developing companies are also collaborating with telecom companies and organizations to launch their 5G offerings and test its efficiency parameters successfully. For instance, AGC Inc. collaborated with NTT Docomo in 2018 to develop a glass antenna for 5G applications.
5G substrate materials are categorized into three types: organic laminates, ceramics, and glass. Organic laminates are further classified into PFTE, PI, LCP, and others. Among these, PTFE is expected to attain the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2020 to 2025. This is due to its excellent properties making it a preferred choice for 5G substrate applications. Some of the key players working on PTFE are DuPont, Rogers Corporation, and Daikin Industries, Ltd.
