The emergence of IoT is the key factor driving market growth. IoT connects electronic devices via the Internet, facilitating machine-to-machine communication and automation. These devices sense and analyze their surroundings, enabling interactions within the network and with the external environment. IoT applications span smart homes, grids, industrial automation, and automated vehicles, driving technological advancements.
Moreover, IoT will make extensive use of RF technology, as RF components play a key role in establishing communication with servers and other electronic gadgets. IoT is driving the demand for connected devices, which is leading to the development of wireless standards and protocols and the development of RF filters supporting those wireless standards. Consequently, with the proliferation of IoT, the market will grow significantly during the forecast period.
Increasing importance of advanced RF devices in radar and electronic warfare systems is the primary trend shaping market growth. With the continuous threat of wars and terrorist attacks, investment in defense and high electronic machinery is also rising. Different developed as well as developing economies are investing aggressively in their defense system. In addition, adversarial electronic warfare (EW) threats have become quite complex, and different government organizations, such as the US Department of Defense (DoD), have made them a funding priority to avoid any negative effects of attacks.
Further, aligned with radio frequency (RF) semiconductor market trends and analysis, the reliance on RF and microwave technologies for testing equipment, including detection systems like radars, underscores the importance of technological advancements in addressing security challenges. With the rising production and demand for defense machinery, the demand for RF semiconductors is also likely to grow, which will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Growing RF complexity is a significant challenge that affects market growth. One of the main characteristics of LTE-A is carrier aggregation, which allows mobile network operators to combine several separate LTE carriers. Carrier aggregation, modulation schemes, an upsurge in the number of frequency bands, and power amplifier modes to support growing mobile data traffic are propelling greater complicated multiplexing, consequently leading to RF front-end (RFFE) complexity. The RFFE includes components like RF filters, RF amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers.
Further, radio frequency semiconductor market players offering RF technologies are considering the new multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) wireless technology for delivering spectral efficiency and increased link capacity that is combined with the help of improved link reliability. Nevertheless, MIMO technology will lead to high RF complexity. Designing and optimizing complex RF front-end modules present challenges in terms of performance, size, and cost.. Such factors may impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the consumer electronics segment will be significant during the forecast period. The consumer electronics sector encompasses a wide range of products, such as smartphones, smart TVs, wearable devices, and smart home devices. RF semiconductors play a crucial role in enabling wireless communication and connectivity within these devices. Smartphones are equipped with various wireless technologies, such as cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC (Near Field Communication).
