Global Baseband Processor Market 2016-2020

Global outlook of the baseband processor market

Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the global baseband processor market will grow steadily during the forecast period and will post a CAGR of almost 14% by 2020. High speed internet connectivity helps in faster web browsing, faster streaming of videos, and better performance of global psitioning syetm (GPS). Owing to this, there is an increasing demand for high speed 3G/4G internet services all across the globe. As a result, the 2G badwidth will soon be replaced with 3G/4G services which will in turn, compel mobile device users to purchase new smartphones that support high speed internet connectivity. This demand for the adoption of long term evolution based mobile devices will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the baseband processing equipment market in the coming years.

The use of gesture recognition in smartphones and tablets will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in this market during the forecast period. Gesture recognition technology interprets human motions using computer algorithms and uses gestures as an input mechanism for replacing conventional input mechanisms such as keyboards and remote control. When combined with voice recognition, eye-tracking, facial recognition, and other related technologies, gesture recognition technology can be used to effectively control machines and will soon find integrations into mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.
