Abstract
Databeans separates the general communications segment into wired and wireless
sectors. When separated from wired, wireless is the second largest
semiconductor segment by revenue behind the computer market with $59.9 billion
projected for 2010. This is also the strongest growing market overall, with a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11 percent projected over the next five
years reaching $101 billion by 2015.
Supplier competition in the wireless semiconductor market is intense with many
companies developing exclusively for specific original equipment manufacturers
(OEMS) and smaller firms receiving major design wins all of the time. The
leaders in sales for this market are suppliers like Qualcomm, which
specifically produces products for the wireless industry. Also included are
large exclusive semiconductor manufacturers such as Texas Instruments and
STMicroelectronics who also produce chips for consumer, industrial, computer,
and other markets in addition to wireless Ics.
Databeans divides these semiconductors into two distinct groupings. The first
includes all general purpose or multi-market semiconductors that are designed
using a “standard cell” approach and can be found in numerous
markets and products outside of the wireless industry. This is currently the
larger of the two segments with $33.1 billion in projected 2010 revenue and
strong average annual growth of 14 percent over the forecasted period. Growth
here will continue to exceed the specialized side of this market, due to the
greater integration of components and increased manufacturing efficiencies
seen with those products destined for wireless applications exclusively.
Wireless specific semiconductor products include wireless discretes (RF small
signal transistors, RF power transistors, and RF diodes), RF analog (power
amplifiers, transceivers, and low noise amplifiers), digital baseband
products, and special purpose wireless microcontrollers. In 2010 the wireless
specific IC segment will reach $26.8 billion in global revenue and will
continue to grow at an average rate of 8 percent annually over the next five
years. While this segment will not grow as quickly as multi-market, it will
continue to provide suppliers with a variety of new growth opportunities.
