Mobile RF Front End Market to Reach $22B in 2022

CAMPBELL, Calif., June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile Experts released a 198-page market study today, which provides detailed analysis of the market for RF components in handsets, tablets, PCs, and IoT devices.

Joe Madden, Chief Analyst at Mobile Experts explained, "High levels of integration for power amplifiers, filters, switches, quadplexers, and other multiplexers has changed the nature of the RF Front End market. It's hard for a single-function component company to survive now...and the competition will get bloody at the module level as Qualcomm attacks the RF front end market. We expect the RF solutions to tilt the scales in the modem market as well, so the strategic importance of the RFFE is increasing."

"We've interviewed more than 45 suppliers to triangulate on the market...including every significant participant in the RFFE market. RF component vendors, handset OEMs, IoT device vendors, foundry suppliers, and others have all contributed to our forecast model. By cross-checking with multiple component areas, we believe that we have built the most accurate prediction possible of the future market. This year, we have focused on the impact of key new features such as CA, 4x4 MIMO, and 5G."

This report illustrates the interplay between multiple disruptive technologies which are colliding in the mobile handset world:

    --  Module Integration
    --  Multiplexers (Quadplexers, Hexaplexers, Extractors, etc.)
    --  Envelope Tracking
    --  Antenna Tuning (Aperture Tuning and Impedance Match Tuning)
    --  Advanced RF Packaging Techniques
    --  Carrier Aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, and Uplink MIMO
    --  Millimeter-wave antenna steering

This market study includes more than 165 charts and exhibits, including 5-year forecasts for:

    --  Mobile Handsets, Tablets, PC Modems, and IoT Devices;
