Global Shipments of Mobile Devices Using Wireless Chipsets are Projected to Reach 2.6 Billion Units by 2020
Robust Sales of Mobile Devices to Drive Demand for Wireless
Chipsets, According to a New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size, and
demand forecasts on the global Wireless Chipsets for Mobile Devices market. Global
shipments of mobile devices using Wireless Chipsets are projected to reach 2.6 billion
units by 2020, driven by the growing trend towards mobility, and the
ensuing explosion in consumer spending on smartphones, tablets and other
portable computing devices.
The communications
industry is characterized by fast-paced technology advancements, product
developments and service innovations. The advent of mobile phones and tablets
has revolutionized the way people connect and exchange information. The
revolution in communications has also been supported by the rollout of high-speed
mobile networks and mobile Internet. The commercial launch of mobile Internet has
led to the development of mobile value added services such as mobile data
browsing, mobile Email, wireless instant messaging, mobile commerce, and
location based services. The development of communication infrastructure and the
provision of low cost, affordable data services are together fuelling the
penetration of smartphones and tablets. The scenario is benefiting demand for wireless chipsets. The growing
demand for smarter and higher performing smartphones is additionally fuelling
the importance of wireless chipsets, given their role in enabling advanced
functionality. As consumers continue to demand more features in mobile devices
and as competition rises among vendors, speed, functionality and price are emerging
as key differentiating factors, forcing vendors to source advanced yet cost
effective wireless chipsets.
Mobile handsets, particularly
smartphones, are expected to continue dominating the market for wireless
chipsets, although significant growth is expected from other end-uses markets. Strong
demand for ultra-low cost smartphones in developing countries is expected to fuel
the baseband wireless chipsets market. LTE is expected to be the key driver of
the global baseband chipset market. Meanwhile, the growing emphasis on graphics
processing and multimedia support capabilities will drive demand for
application processors. With the availability of a wide choice of smartphone
operating systems as well as communication standards, manufacturers are faced with the difficult task of choosing
the right assembly of chipsets to provide the best price-performance balance to
their products. The need to differentiate, and offer better functionality and
cost are some of the factors driving the choice between discrete
application processors and discrete baseband processors or integrated
baseband & processor processors. The market is shifting towards integrated
baseband & application processors, with some of the leading OEMs
planning to develop their own integrated baseband & application processors.
