RF Switches Market

RF switch is used for routing of high frequency signals via paths of transmission. RF switches are ideal for instrumentation, communications, and military & aerospace applications. The integration of a switch into a switch matrix device helps to route signals to single or multiple DUTs from different instruments. This allows the execution of multiple tests with the same setup, eliminating the need for frequent connections and disconnections. In addition, RF switches can automate the entire testing process, increasing the throughput in high-volume production environments. The global RF switches market is experiencing a significant growth, and will grow considerably in next few years. 

COVID-19 scenario Analysis: 

• Global RF switches market has been significantly impacted by the covid-19 outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled which in turn have significant demand for the RF switches.
• The global factories have struggled to integrate new RF switches as workers have stayed in their homes and which in turn has disrupted the global supply chains. 
• The impact of covid-19 on this market is temporary as just the production and supply chain is stalled. Once the situation improves, production, supply chains and demand for these RF switches are gradually going to increase. 
• This covid-19 lockdown would help companies think about more advanced RF switches to enhance efficiency.  

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

With the increase in production capacity, it is expected the raw material price of the RF switches to be stable in the short term. Improving electricity, shipping costs, and labor costs, however, will play a major role in increasing the cost of RF switches. There are businesses that strive to boost competitiveness in terms of cost and quality leadership. At the same time, businesses are concentrating on technical advancement, infrastructure upgrades, and process changes, lowering costs and increasing efficiency. The average price of RF switches will continue to decline due to increased mature manufacturing technology, raw material prices, as well as the threat of substitution.

The global RF switches market trends are as follows:

Telecommunication industry to be a huge contributor in the rise of demand in RF switches

Increased investment in telecommunications network infrastructure, and high demand for RF switches is expected to create opportunities for RF switches market during the forecast period. Base stations add a lot of antennas to reception and transmission upgrades. We therefore need high-isolation RF switches to test base stations, wireless devices, advanced antenna systems, and RF components, which is also growing demand for ecosystem RF switches on the market. 

Growing internet penetration is boosting the adoption of GaAs technology in the RF switches market 

Rising internet penetration around the globe has stimulated demand for GaAs wafers, particularly in developing countries such as India, China, and Japan. In addition, demand for backhaul, base stations, and fiber optic networks in wireless communication infrastructure and Wi-Fi connectivity products has increased and supports growing internet penetration globally, which in turn surge the adoption of GaAs technology in the RF switches market. GaAs technology provide strong linearity and isolation with low ON resistance and low OFF efficiency, as a result of which they are widely implemented through wireless communications applications including wireless networks (WLAN), mobile phones, 4G/5 G base stations, satellite communications, and Wi-Fi.
