Overview of the global radio frequency duplexer market
The deployment of LTE networks is influencing the demand for high-performance RF devices, like RF amplifiers, radio frequency filters (RF), and RF duplexers, in multi-band smartphones, portable PCs, and tablets. Moreover, the need to access data at high speed is also driving the demand for LTE-based computing devices. LTE networks primarily use carrier aggregation to increase the bandwidth and this helps in increasing the bitrate. The increasing deployment of LTE networks is identified as one of the primary factors that will fuel the growth of the radio frequency duplexer market during the next few years. Technavio’s market research analysts have estimated that this market will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 11% by 2021.
The adoption of the BYOD initiative will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the radio frequency duplexer market. To reduce costs, several organizations are focusing on the adoption of bring your own device initiative. This will render benefits such as increased productivity, employee satisfaction, and the availability of a flexible working environment. Several companies have already implemented BYOD or are planning to implement in the future. This will trigger the demand for portable PCs in the corporate sector, which in turn, will increase the demand for RF duplexers.
