Market Scope and Structure Analysis

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis

• The global silicon RF device market forecast has been significantly impacted by the outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled, which have significant demand for silicon RF device.
• A study by the Centre for Progressive Policy shows that regions with high manufacturing activity will face the largest economic hit from the COVID-19 outbreak. It will lead to slowing down the global market.
• The global factories have struggled to manufacture and assemble new devices as workers have stayed in their homes and even the already available devices in various warehouses cannot be transported due to current rules & regulations, which 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 products are gradually going to increase.
• This is expected to provide opportunities for companies to think about ways of increasing production, research about technologies, and improve current products. Now companies are trying to introduce a new type of production line where they follow social distancing.

Top Impacting Factors

The emerging demand for smartphones & tablets and the evolution of wireless technologies are at a rapid pace trailed by rising usage of long-term evolution (LTE) and 5G, which have contributed to the growth of the silicon RF device market. The growing usage of silicon RF devices in radar and warfare electronic systems by the defense and military sector is driving the growth of the market. 
On the other side, the high cost of silicon RF devices and the decline in price margin might hamper the overall growth at a global level. Moreover, the rising trend of digitalization and increase in the number of smart city projects around the world are estimated to provide profitable opportunities for the market to grow.

New Product Launches to Boost the Market

New technological advancements, such as decrease in RF power level, increase in power density up to 1,000 watt per single transistor device, and RF plasma lighting technology working without any additional electrodes in a bulb, have long functioning lifespan. Compound semiconductors are the latest trend in the market. Therefore, new product launch and development drive the silicon RF device market growth.

Surge in Product Usage in Automotive and Industrial Applications 

The automotive application of silicon RF devices is likely to grow over the next few years, short & long-range millimeter wave radars are used in transportation and automotive vehicle. Low noise amplifiers are used in these automotive radars, which are installed in vehicles for advanced driver support purposes such as precrash warning, automated cruise control system, lane departure warning system, blind-spot detection, and collision warning. 

This automotive radar is mainly used as a component of autonomous vehicles. With increase in the need for higher data rates, the demand for high-speed mobile broadband internet and greater spectral efficiency is increasing. This has led to the employment of LTE, which is further expected to drive the silicon RF device market.
