The market expansion is driven by the rising demand for UWB technology in RTLS applications and the increasing adoption of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). Furthermore, the expanding deployment of UWB technology in consumer electronics is fueling market growth. The rapid integration of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology into consumer electronics is becoming one of the key drivers for the global UWB market.
"Low-range UWB to account for larger market share in 2030"
The low-range segment leads the global UWB market because it is widely used in consumer electronics, digital keys, smart home devices, and healthcare monitoring systems. Usually working over distances from a few centimeters up to 30 meters, low-range UWB is designed for secure, short-range communication and real-time location systems (RTLS). The main growth factor in this segment is the integration of UWB chips into smartphones, wearables, and automotive digital keys, which support precise device-to-device interactions, contactless payments, and advanced IoT functions. In healthcare, low-range UWB is increasingly used for patient monitoring, connecting medical devices, and tracking assets within hospitals. Its low power use, higher accuracy than Bluetooth or NFC, and improved security features make it very attractive for consumers and businesses. With major smartphone makers and car manufacturers adding UWB technology to their products, the low-range segment is expected to continue leading the market.
"Consumer electronics to capture largest share of ultra-wideband market throughout forecast period"
With the growing need for more precise location services and secure system access, the demand for UWB technology in consumer electronics is increasing. Companies such as Intel Corporation, Apple Inc., Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, NXP Semiconductors, and Sony Corporation, among others, are researching and investing in UWB technology. UWB is widely used in consumer electronics like TVs, PCs, laptops, and smartphones. Other home entertainment products that benefit from UWB include game consoles, MP3 players, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and personal computers. This technology enhances connectivity with fewer cables and offers higher accuracy. Therefore, consumer electronics is expected to be the largest market for UWB technology.
"China to hold largest share in Asia Pacific of ultra-wideband market in 2030"
China stands out as one of the most influential and rapidly growing markets for UWB technology in the Asia Pacific. The country's strong industrial base, swift digital transformation, and leadership in automotive manufacturing create a fertile environment for UWB adoption across various sectors. In industrial manufacturing, UWB-powered RTLS are increasingly used to track assets, improve workflows, and reduce downtime, aligning with the nation's Industry 4.0 initiatives. This technology helps enterprises increase operational efficiency and reach higher levels of automation. China also dominates the global automotive market in production and sales, offering significant opportunities for UWB-enabled short-range automotive radar systems. These systems are essential for applications like collision avoidance, ADAS, and in-vehicle monitoring, supporting China's shift toward intelligent and connected vehicles.
