Proliferation of Smartphones and Tablets Driving the Global Radio Frequency Duplexer Market Through 2020, Says TechnavioAccording to the latest market study released by Technavio, the global radio frequency (RF) duplexer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 12% during the forecast period. This research report titled 'Global Radio Frequency Duplexer Market 2016-2020' provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. This market research report also includes an up to date analysis and forecasts for various market segments and all geographical regions. Request sample report: http://goo.gl/Pds3X5 The report categorizes the global RF duplexer market into four major segments based on application. They are:
Smartphones In terms of revenue, the smartphone segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period. The smartphone segment is one of the key end-users of RF duplexers. The segment accounted for over 76% of the total revenue in 2015. According to Asif Gani, a lead analyst at Technavio for semiconductor equipment, the emergence of multiple cellular standards such as global systems for mobile communications (GSM), code division multiple access (CDMA), and 4G/LTE (News - Alert) makes the deployment of RF duplexers in smartphones necessary, as they allow the simultaneous transmission and reception of signals in different frequency bands on a single antenna. 3G and 4G smartphones can operate in multiple bands based on GSM/enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) and 3G high-speed packet access/wideband code division multiple access (HSPA/WCDMA) standards. Continuous innovation in smartphones will support additional bands in LTE and WCDMA standards, requiring 10 more frequency bands of operation. RF duplexers have a crucial role to play in signal transmission. The evolution of LTE standards and the increased adoption of smartphones in the global market will help boost the demand for RF duplexers durig the forecast period. Set-top box The set-top box (STB) segment of the global RF duplexer market is expected to at a CAGR of close to 11% during the forecast period. STBs help stream subscribed channels on users' TVs. Their primary job is to convert analog and digital signals into video and audio content. RF components are used in STBs to provide uninterrupted TV services and features such as video-on-demand and time-shifted TV. RF duplexers are used in STBs for uninterrupted signal transmission. With the growing proliferation of smart TVs and increasing demand for HD content, revenue from the STB segment will grow during the forecast period. However, the percentage contribution of this segment will witness a marginal decline to 9.7% in 2020 from 10.3% in 2015 due to the increasing adoption of internet TV, which can be accessed by any multimedia device. The device's long product life cycle, low profit margins, and low degree of technological innovation are the other major factors that make the STB market less attractive to RF duplexer manufacturers. Laptops The laptop segment of the global RF duplexer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period. This segment is expected to witness a decline of more than 2% during the forecast period due to various factors such as the declining sales of laptops and other portable PCs in line with the increased adoption of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets across the globe and the high cost of new touchscreen laptops. "However, despite the expected decline in the percentage contribution, revenue from the segment will grow to USD 168 million by 2020 due to the high growth potential of the overall RF duplexer market," says Asif. Tablets The tablet segment of the global RF duplexer market is expected to increase at an impressive CAGR of over 21% during the forecast period. Since their introduction, tablets have been widely adopted across the globe as replacements for laptops. Deployment of next-generation long term evolution (LTE) wireless networks has accelerated the demand for LTE-based tablets. Due to the introduction of multiple frequency bands, circuit designers are organizing RF devices in various combinations for optimum performance and to mitigate potential signal interference issues. For instance, RF device manufacturers are combining power amplifiers with duplexers in multi-band configurations to ensure optimum performance. All these factors are expected to accelerate the demand for RF duplexers in the tablet segment.
