Mobile Phone Semiconductor Market Analysis
The Mobile Phone Semiconductor Market grew at a CAGR of 7.49% during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of smart technologies in mobile phones and the rapid introduction of next-generation mobile-communications standards, like LTE or 5G, are some of the major factors driving the adoption of semiconductor components in mobile phones.
- The overall semiconductor industry witnessed lesser growth, and the smartphone business was also fluctuating. However, the mobile phone semiconductor market was able to witness marginal growth, owing to the increasing adoption of RF-based applications in smartphones. In many regions, especially Asia-Pacific, the smartphone business was the largest consumer of the semiconductor industry.
- Since the past year, the smartphone industry has been witnessing a nearing maturity state which is affecting the mobile phone semiconductor industry. However, with the advent of 5G technology and the government's approval for the adoption of 5G technology, it is expected to enable smartphone users to shift from phones supporting 4G and LTE technology to 5G technology which would create huge opportunities for the studied market.
- With the increasing shipments of mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, and e-book readers have been growing and are driving the growth for a range of semiconductor components, including applications processors, modems, MEMS sensors, wireless connectivity ICs, and audio ICs in these devices.
- The increased revenue of RF was generated from its growing adoption among more bands, a larger number of carriers aggregated, and higher-order MIMO configurations supported by an increase in smartphone ASPs. This trend was expected to continue in 2019, with the addition of the mid-band spectrum for sub-6GHz 5G and mmWave modules in some 5G phones.
- Changes in the semiconductor supply chain, the market fluctuation due to the US-China trade war, the Russia-Ukrain war, and the shifting business models created opportunities for some manufacturers while posing a threat to others.
- However, the significant outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic globally disrupted the supply chain and production, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Major semiconductor manufacturing industries have been significantly affected as a result of Asia-Pacific being a world production center over the past two to three decades.
