The Radio Frequency Filters Market is integral to modern wireless communication chains, ensuring reliability and optimal frequency response in various applications. In the mobile phone environment, social networking applications demand high performance from electronic circuits and high-frequency electronic circuits. Automotive vehicles rely on these filters for engine management and ignition systems. Key components include low pass filters, band pass filters, and other electronic filters, which manage interference and block undesirable signals in the passband and stopband ranges. Operating across megahertz to gigahertz frequencies, these filters handle unwanted radio frequencies in radio communication systems and wireless devices. Advances in filter technology are crucial for millimetre wave, extremely high frequency, and next-generation electronic warfare systems, addressing the evolving needs of radio communication systems.
High proliferation of mobile computing devices is the key factor driving the market growth. Mobile users and business travelers who need mobility and connectivity are pushing up demand for mobile computing devices. Users access social networking apps, browse the web, read news, and check their emails, among other things, using these gadgets. The demand for mobile computing devices is being driven by increasing rates of internet adoption and the availability of high data rates at reasonable speeds.
Furthermore, the growth in internet bandwidth is primarily driven by the propagation of mobile computing devices (like smartphones, tablets, and laptops) with new capabilities. The integration of progressive wireless technologies such as LTE and Wi-Fi in smartphones and tablets has generated an augmented need for new RF features in these devices. Hence, such factors will boost the need for high-performance radio frequency filters, which, in turn, will drive the market during the forecast period.
Growing technological convergence is the primary trend shaping market growth. With the technological advancements in different mobile computing devices, like smartphones and tablets, these devices are on the verge of providing multiple features on one platform. For instance, portable PCs are combined with diverse features, which consist of internet surfing, media streaming, social networking, and online gaming. This generates the need to deploy radio frequency filters to satisfy signal filtering needs. The deployment of filters in electronic devices allows improved filtering of RF signals, in large and medium band frequencies, to and from the base station.
Consequently, technological convergence will have a positive impact on radio frequency filters, which, in turn, will drive the global radio frequency (RF) filters market. Growing investments in R&D by market players will contribute to the growth of the market. For instance, RF filters market players such as Broadcom and Qorvo are investing heavily in R&D to manufacture highly efficient radio frequency filters. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
A shorter product lifecycle affects companies' pricing strategy is a challenge that affects market growth. The market is highly competitive owing to rapid technological changes, evolving standards, and high product obsolescence. As a result, radio frequency filter vendors have to constantly upgrade and develop high-performance and cost-effective radio frequency filters. Market players base the price of radio frequency filters on the competitor benchmarks or costs.
Moreover, RF filters market players are aggressively pricing their products to respond quickly to opportunities in the market, meet increased demand, and achieve short-term profits. Factors such as these can decrease the average selling price of radio frequency filters, thus reducing the revenue and gross margins, which will affect the profitability of market players. Thus, such factors will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
By Application
The market share growth by the cellular devices segment will be significant during the forecast period. The cumulative growth that LTE network deployments will experience through the years will consequently influence the type of cellular phone shipped during the forecast period. In addition, the rollout of 5G networks would require cellular phones that can operate at higher frequency bands. Cellular phones will, therefore, see the adoption of more LTE-specific bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters per device.

The cellular devices segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 2.08 billion in 2018. As 5G networks require greater network bandwidth, radio frequency filters that can be integrated into 5G-capable devices should also be engineered with MIMO and carrier aggregation. Some telecom companies are also increasingly focusing on launching the 5G network, and cellular device manufacturing companies are also focusing on launching new 5G devices. Such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters are used more extensively in devices that do not operate at frequencies higher than 2.5 GHz. SAW filters are, therefore, exclusively used in feature phones, smartphones, and GPS devices. Temperature-compensated SAWs (TC-SAWs) are more enhanced versions of SAW filters. These filters can be used in communication devices that are compliant with the lower bands of the LTE spectrum. Furthermore, by acquiring or investing in the fabs that manufacture SAW filters, the electronic component manufacturers are planning to add SAW filter capacity with the latest process technologies which in turn will drive the segment and market in focus during the forecast period.
