Faster product replacement cycle increasing demand for RF power amplifiers is the key factor driving market growth. Rapid obsolescence is due to the quick launches of new and advanced versions of smartphones by vendors. Consumers tend to replace older versions of smartphones with newer versions to access the latest technologies and functionalities. This replacement cycle is currently 8-12 months. The faster product replacement cycle is expected to increase the demand for RF power amplifiers from smartphone manufacturers during the forecast period.
Moreover, the rising demand for advanced functionalities in smartphones from consumers is increasing the design complexity of devices. This is resulting in higher demand for power amplifier content in smartphones. Moreover, RF components and transistors are majorly used in smartphones to handle high-power applications, further driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The emergence of high-powered electronic devices is the primary trend shaping market growth. Consumer electronic devices are integrated with quick, prompt, innovative, lightweight, energy-efficient, and compact components. Moreover, the RF power amplifier components such as GaAs, gallium nitride (GaN), and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) are energy-efficient and are small enough to fit into compact devices. For instance, GaAs-based semiconductor devices have brought a lot of opportunities for customers and smartphone Radiofrequency power amplifier market.
For customers, GaAs offers high-powered mobiles and prompt and energy-efficient electronics, saving power and time. For manufacturers, GaAs offer a reduction in cost in the long run and substantial improvement in device characteristics that allow the addition of new performance capabilities to the device, enabling market players to introduce better offerings in the smartphone radiofrequency (RF) power amplifier market. Hence, such factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The increase in the design complexity of RF power amplifiers is a challenge that affects market growth. A huge amount of signal strength is lost between the antenna and other receivers in smartphones. Thus, power amplifiers need to deliver more power to transmit the signal from the antenna, which reduces RF. The rise in the number of functionalities and applications has led to a high level of integration on a single integrated circuit (IC), which has increased the complexity of designing RF power amplifiers.
Furthermore, with the advent of new technologies and features, manufacturers constantly have to change the design and manufacturing process for new products. This compels smartphone RF power amplifier market players to invest heavily in developing high-performance and efficient RF amplifiers for smartphones. In addition, the complexity of manufacturing and designing RF power amplifiers increases the production cycle time and time-to-market pressure. Thus, such factors can impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the Android system smartphone segment will be significant during the forecast period. The Android operating system (OS) is a commonly used mobile OS globally. It is offered by Alphabet Inc. (Google). Furthermore, Google offers a Google search engine, Google Maps, YouTube, and other web services to users through the Android OS free of cost. Owing to the availability of a variety of features, the Android OS has been gaining popularity among consumers globally.
