how companies can minimize shortages now underway and meet skyrocketing demand.
Christopher Taylor, Director of RF & Wireless Components and author of the Cellular UE Radio Component Forecast report, stated “The latest radio architectures, historical component price and demand trends suggest that millimeter wave (mmW) modules and intermediate frequency transceivers for the mmW will undergo the highest growth rates through 2025, followed by diversity receive and related switched-filter modules, RF switches and antenna tuners. The rapid uptake of 5G will of course drive much of this growth.”
Sravan Kundojjala, Associate Director, Handset Component Technologies, added that “Earlier than anticipated recovery in demand after the onset of COVID-19, the recent earthquake near Fukushima Japan, severe weather-related electric supply shortages in the US, and the US trade war with China have all contributed to an inability to meet demand as reported by almost all leading semiconductor
