Why $\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{\cos{ax}}{I_0(x)}dx$ is exponential for $a\gg 1$?

dear community

I have a problem with integral estimation and hope anyone could help.

The numerical calculation showed me, that integral $$\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \frac{\cos{ax}}{I_0(x)}dx$$ (where the $I_0$ is modified Bessel function) depends on $a$ when $a\gg 1$ as $\exp(\gamma a +\beta)$, where $\gamma\simeq -2.4$, $\beta \simeq 2.5$.

I guess, that such a nice dependency comes from some elegant mathematics connected to rapidly oscillating of the cosine function. But I can't understand how to prove it and how to calculate parameters of the exponent analytically.

I tried to find such integral in books with integral tables, but failed too.

in the graphic I plot both constituents of the underintegral-function.

Maybe there is some common method to solve problems like this?
