Mobile and Wireless Semiconductor
Market Forecast 2008–2013  

Market Research From The Industry Experts

Sales of semiconductors for mobile applications slowed dramatically at the end of 2008 but are poised for rebound following a difficult 1Q09. Although we expect improving conditions for the remainder of the year, handset shipments are likely to be down about 7.5% for 2009. As a result, cellular baseband shipments will dip before returning to a growth trend. Buoyed by rising smartphone shipments and connectivity attach rates, sales of application processors, Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi chips will continue to grow through 2009 and beyond. Ultimately, however, integrated baseband processors will slow and even reverse the growth in these hot product categories.
