Increased use of robotics in various applications to boost the market growth
The radio frequency components (RFC) market is expanding rapidly due to rising robot penetration. Robotics' widespread use contributes to quick industrial automation. Industrial robots incorporate RF components for wireless communication applications, including RF transistors, amplifiers, diodes, and filters. As a result, there will be a tremendous market for RF components. For instance, 3 million industrial robots were used in businesses worldwide in 2021, up 10% from the year before, according to the World Robotics 2021 report from the International Federation of Robots, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Germany. So an increase in robot usage is another factor driving the growth of the radio frequency component (RFC) market revenue.
Major players in the RF components industry are concentrating on creating cutting-edge products to strengthen their position. For instance, the US-based semiconductor company Qualcomm Technologies introduced its ultraBAW RF filter technology for bands up to 7 GHz in October 2021, enhancing its modem-to-antenna solution that powers high-performance 5G and connectivity systems in a variety of wireless product sectors. With access to spectrum up to 7 GHz made possible by the new Qualcomm ultraBAW RF filter technology, 5G and Wi-Fi solutions will work brilliantly at higher frequencies. Therefore, technological development has recently enhanced the radio frequency component (RFC) market CAGR globally.
The Radio Frequency Component (RFC) Market segmentation, based on component, includes antenna switches, modulators & demodulators, filters, and amplifiers. In 2022, the amplifier market share was the largest with respect to the Radio Frequency Component (RFC) Market revenue. The segment will grow in the following year due to increased power amplifier applications in GSM, radar HDTV, LTE point-to-point microwave, 5G signal amplification, etc. Additionally, in 2022, the filters sector will witness the fastest growth rate. Since they are essential for achieving the expected high bandwidth, which is projected to be the driving force behind many 5G use cases, they are especially important in the realm of 5G. Hence, rising applications of filters for radio frequency components (RFC) positively impact market growth.
The Radio Frequency Component (RFC) Market data has been bifurcated by material into indium phosphide, nitride, silicon, and gallium arsenide. The silicon segment dominated the market in 2022. Due to silicone's ability to attach to glass and anodized aluminum and its electromagnetic shielding properties, the demand for silicone in consumer electronics has skyrocketed. Furthermore, the gallium arsenide sector is predicted to experience the fastest growth rate during the projected period. Gallium arsenide was selectively produced on Gallium arsenide substrates patterned with SiO2 using traditional molecular beam semiconductor device epitaxy, and it is increasingly used as a substitute for silicon due to its improved electrical characteristics.
April 2021: AXT, Inc., a leading manufacturer of compound semiconductor substrate wafers, has produced and shipped to a significant customer its first 8-inch diameter gallium arsenide (Gallium Arsenide) substrates. The 8-inch Gallium Arsenide substrates are silicon-doped, n-type substrates with low etch pit densities (EPD) and slip lines. This approval has further broadened the growth opportunity for the radio frequency component (RFC) industry.
