Research and Markets: LTE Chip Market Trends to 2018: Intel, The 2nd Leading Supplier Of 3G Thin Modems In 2013, Expected To Become The 2nd Leading Supplier Of LTE Thin Modems In 2014


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nkzf5w/_lte_chip_market) has announced the addition of the " LTE Chip Market Trends" report to their offering.

This report provides a detailed market analysis of all significant LTE (News - Alert) cellular handset & tablet vendors and ics for LTE modems, associated application processors, rf transceivers and power amplifiers. Forecasts are provided (2012-2018) for both revenue and units for all covered products. Market shares for all vendors for each product type are included and 2014 market prospects for key vendors are discussed.

Our forecast model uses ongoing shifts in oem share, technology (e.g., transition to integrated wi-fi) and product categories (e.g., tablet computers, after-market modems, mifi hotspots) to forecast which chip suppliers will benefit and which will not.

Smartphones represented 73% of the LTE cellphone market in 2013 while LTE tablets reached 16%. The report asserts that tablets and hybrid notebooks will drive standalone LTE modem penetration rates in 2014 while integrated comprocessors continue to lead in revenues. The total LTE baseband market grew from 103 million units in 2012 to 219 million in 2013. The report forecasts that itwill grow by 47% to 338 million units this year.



In addition, the report provides 2013 quarterly unit shipments and yoy market shares in revenue for the top ten equipment suppliers and their preliminary 2014 positioning as suppliers of mobile smartphones, tablets, and 3G/4g modems/hotspots. The report also provides revenue and unit consumption by geographical region.

According to the report, Intel, the 2nd leading supplier of 3G thin modems in 2013, will likely become the 2nd leading supplier of LTE thin modems in 2014. Their focus will be on winning 3G/4g modem orders for notebooks and tablets. They will be challenged by Marvell's 3G/4g pxa802 td- LTE modem, which also supports td-hspa+ and is already shipping to ZTE (News - Alert).


2013 was the first year that application processors surpassed 1 billion units with 44.5% of them as standalone units. We expect standalone consumption among smartphones to decline further in 2014 as more apps processors become part of com-processors.

Forecasts for all key LTE cellphone chip types supplier 2013 market shares and chip forecasts through 2018:

- Digital baseband processors (dbb)

- rf transceivers

- rf power amplifiers/modules

- application processors (apps)

- communication processors (dbb+apps)

- power management units (pmics)
