Global RF filters market by cellular devices
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. According to Technavio, LTE capable cellular phones are expected to increase from over 71% in 2016 to more than 76 in 2021. Also, the anticipated roll out of 5G networks in 2019 would require cellular phones that can operate at higher frequency bands. Cellular phones will, therefore, see the adoption of more LTE-specific BAW filters per device.
As 5G networks require greater network bandwidth, RF filters that can be integrated into 5G-capable devices should also be engineered with MIMO and carrier aggregation. Qorvo invested significantly into the R&D of RF filters that can operate at high frequency spectrum, and are capable of carrier aggregation and multiplexing.
Global RF filters market by GPS devices
Around 80% of GPS devices find a significant degree of use in transport and other logistic services. Road-based GPS devices come as personal navigation systems. They also find use in fleet management. The autonomous car industry is projected at USD 50 billion and is expected to be a significant game changer in the GPS industry. As investments in smart city initiatives across the globe are set to exceed USD 1.5 trillion by 2020, the growth of this sector will be a major boost for GPS devices.
“With many of the worlds’ leading OEMs such as BMW, Toyota, Daimler, and Renault participating in the autonomous vehicle project, there will be a rise in demand for GPS devices that have more accuracy. Major vendors such as Qorvo provide RF filters specific for their use in GPS devices,” says Rohan.
Global RF filters market by tablets
The global tablet market has been witnessing a steady decline in terms of adoption, which is being redressed by the steady adoption of 3G and 4G enabled tablets, which will drive the demand for RF filters in the segment. India and China are two important markets for tablet manufacturers, with most of the tablets sold within the USD 150 price range. These tablets will require more RF filters per device to ensure device compatibility with different LTE bands of that region. The need for tablet replacement is further offset by regular software upgrades, which will keep old tablets at par with new tablets released in the market.
The top vendors highlighted by Technavio’s market research analysts in this report are:
- Broadcom
- Qorvo
- Murata Manufacturing
- TDK
