Increasing Internet penetration is notably driving market expansion. The rise in the number of Internet users has had a positive impact on the growth of the market, as smartphone users tend to access the Internet for various reasons, especially to access social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. As of January 2021, there were 4.66 billion active Internet users worldwide, or 59.5% of the global population. Consumers also use smartphones to stream videos or play games online. In 2023, there were nearly 6.8 billion smartphone users across the world, and is expected to reach 7.1 billion in 2024. And around 72% of internet users will use smartphones to access the internet by 2025.
As a result, companies are targeting developing countries because of the high growth potential. Smartphones provide consumers with faster processing capabilities and better software platforms to access video content, social media, online games, and web browsing on a single platform. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The growing need for high-speed amplifiers in defense industry is an emerging trend shaping market expansion. Researchers across the globe are encouraging innovation and developments in fields such as electronic spectrum and high-capacity radio communications. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has made some progress with its Terahertz Electronics Program. Solid-state power amplifiers and the traveling wave tube amplifier are the only two products with terahertz (THz) frequency. Northrop Grumman, an aerospace and defense technology company, is developing solid-state and traveling wave tube amplifiers.
Moreover, THz frequency-based power amplifiers can be used in a lot of applications, such as high-resolution security imaging, high data rate communications, collision-avoidance radar, and remote detection systems for dangerous chemicals and explosives, where high-speed amplifiers are crucial for the faster function of these devices. Thus, the growing need for high-speed amplifiers in the defense sector will drive the growth of the power amplifier market during the forecast period.
Performance issues, such as current leakage and breakdown a significant challenge hindering market expansion. In any electrical installation, some current will flow through the protective ground conductor to the ground. This is usually called leakage current. Leakage current in power supplies may occur due to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filters that utilize Y capacitors between the live and neutral conductors. This causes some leakage current to flow from the neutral or the live conductor to the power supply casing, which is normally connected to the earthing system or grounding system.
Moreover, leakage current can also cause unnecessary and intermittent tripping. In extreme cases, it can cause a rise in voltage on accessible conductive parts. Electrical stresses in the transistors of high-efficiency switching can lead to hot-electron-induced breakdown. Also, any breakdown can reduce the reliability and performance of the power amplifier as the transistor performance degrades. Hence, these factors can hinder market growth during the forecast period.
The market share by the CMOS segment will be significant during the forecast period. Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) is the most popular technology used for the highly integrated baseband and transceiver die in mobile radios due to its ability to integrate a large number of transistors. The cost of production is lower than that of other technologies, such as GaAs or GaN. Earlier, transceiver and baseband ICs used to be two different dies, but now they both are merged on a single CMOS chip, which lowers the overall cost.

The CMOS segment was the largest and was valued at USD 14.17 billion in 2018. In addition, packaging is another area where the needs of components such as transceivers differ substantially. These are typically packaged in laminate-based or low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC)-based modules, whereas transceivers are packaged in a simpler plastic ball grid array (PBGA)-type package. These packages have only a few I/O ports; however, the module accommodates low-loss RF matching circuitry and a few surface-mount devices (SMDs), such as capacitors and inductors. PBGA packages are designed for large numbers (generally over 100) of I/O pins without external SMDs and RF circuitry. These factors are expected to boost the growth of the CMOS segment in the market during the forecast period.
Power amplifiers are used in almost all consumer electronic devices, ranging from microwave ovens, headphone drivers, televisions (TV), mobile phones, and home theatre systems to theatrical and concert reinforcement systems. As a result of technological advancements and the increasing discretionary spending capacity of the working population, smart appliances are becoming increasingly popular. Manufacturers are focusing their efforts on manufacturing products that are user-friendly and suit consumer demands. The huge rise in consumer electronics is due to the high demand for smart appliances that provide voice assistance, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and faster networks. Moreover, increasing surplus income is likely to increase the purchase volume of consumer electronics, which is expected to fuel the consumer electronics segment, thereby boosting demand and driving market expansion during the forecast period.
