Radio Frequency Front End Market Analysis

Radio Frequency Front End Market Analysis

Based on type, the market is segmented into RF filters, RF power amplifiers, RF switches, and others. The RF filters segment accounted for over 35% of the market share in 2022. Smartphones, which need to tune into a dozen or more frequency bands, often use RF filters. Electronic filters that operate on signals with frequencies between megahertz and gigahertz (middle frequency to extremely high frequency) are known as Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave filters. RF filters are used in various applications including radio receivers that reject image frequencies, broadcast receivers that choose desired channel frequencies, EMI filters that lower noise levels, and transceivers that lower LO leakage levels. The electromagnetic waves are received by an RF filter, essentially a band-pass filter, which is attached to the antenna. It eliminates the picture frequency and stops powerful out-of-band signals from being saturated.
 

Based on end use, the market is divided into consumer electronics, automotive systems, wireless networks, military, and others. The consumer electronics segment will expand at over 14% CAGR by 2032. Increased spending on consumer electronics including laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart wearables, and smart home components can be attributed to growing disposable incomes. The RF front end market expansion is linked to the expanding use of RF components in consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearable electronics. These consumer electronics products need RF antennas, filters, multiplexers, and amplifiers to achieve high-end wireless communication. Globally, the rising mobile subscription rates will also boost prospects for the radio frequency front end market.
 

 Asia Pacific radio frequency front end market is expected to witness 15% CAGR from 2022 – 2032.
