Rising Adoption of Smartphones, Tablets, and Other Consumer Electronics Products Drives Europe RF Front-End Chip Market
According to GSMA’s annual State of Mobile Internet Connectivity Report 2023 (SOMIC), in October 2023, over half (54%) of the global population-approximately 4.3 billion people-owned a smartphone. The number of smartphones is increasing significantly. For example, according to Ericsson & The Radicati Group, in 2020, there were 5.75 billion smartphones, and in 2024, the number of smartphones grown to 6.93 billion, and as of 2025, it is expected to reach 7.15 billion. Also, tablets have become increasingly popular in recent years due to the range of benefits they offer over traditional laptops and desktop computers. The rising popularity of connected devices, such as tablets, smartphones, headphones, and wearables, further fuels the demand for RF frond-end chips. Smartphones and tablets often support numerous wireless services, including FM radio and LTE, across many frequency bands. At the same time, a growing number of smartphone and tablets use several antennas to improve sensitivity and reduce crosstalk. Miniature RF solid-state switches play a vital part in RF front-end designs for smart mobile devices. Consumers expect seamless connectivity and high data speeds, pushing manufacturers to incorporate advanced RF technologies into their devices. Hence, various market players have launched RF frond-end solutions for smartphones. For example, in May 2020, NXP Semiconductors NV announced that its most recent radio frequency front-end (RFFE) solution, designed with Wi-Fi 6 standards, was integrated into the Xiaomi Mi 10 5G smartphone. Thus, the growing adoption of smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics is driving the RF front-end chip market.
