The report segments the global radio frequency (RF) filter market by application into four broad categories which are:

• Smartphones
• GPS devices
• Tablets
• Others

Smartphones

The smartphone segment of the global RF filter market is expected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2020, increasing at a CAGR of almost 14% during the forecast period.

RF filters are crucial for receiving and transmitting signals in mobile handsets, and highly selective RF filters are essential for the smooth operation of smartphones. They reduce interference and noise from RF sources during the transmission and reception of signals. New and evolved wireless standards necessitate the development of new RF parametric technical requirements in wireless communication devices.

The number of RF filters used in a smartphone ranges from three to seven. The demand for RF filters is likely to increase during the forecast period because of high expected growth in smartphones worldwide due to their improved scope of functions. The deployment of next-generation LTE wireless networks is expected to increase the demand for RF filters over the forecast period.

GPS devices

The GPS device segment of the global RF filter market is expected to reach USD 795 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of almost 9% during the forecast period.

A rise in the use of GPS receivers in smartphones, tablets, wearable electronic devices, and automobiles is expected to fuel the demand for GPS devices during the forecast period. GPS receivers filter signals at the RF stage. RF filters provide ultra-low insertion loss to reduce errors in signal recovery.

The implementation of the Wireless Emergency Alerts system and better attenuation will drive the demand for RF filters for GPS applications in the US. The Wireless Emergency Alerts system is a public safety system developed by the wireless industry, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.These factors are expected to drive the market for RF filters during the forecast period.

Tablets

The tablet segment of the global RF filter market is expected to reach USD 128 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of over 15% during the forecast period.

This is one of the crucial segments of the global RF filter market in terms of revenue. The deployment of 4G networks has resulted in high demand for RF filters that enable LTE and time division LTE systems. Tablets with advanced LTE features and carrier aggression are pushing the demand for optimized, high-performance RF filters.

“The demand for tablets is high in the education, retail, and healthcare industries as they provide an easy-to-use interface and connectivity. This will drive the growth of the global radio frequency filter market during the forecast period,” says Asif.

Others

The others segment of the global RF filter market is expected to exceed USD 75 million by 2020, increasing at a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period.

This segment includes e-readers and smart TVs with integrated internet and set-top box capabilities. RF devices, including filters, are integrated into smart TVs to perform applications such as online gaming, media streaming, and internet browsing.

The present-generation e-readers support Wi-Fi and work on the concept of cloud computing. However, companies such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble are expected to equip their devices with NFC capabilities, which is expected to have a positive impact on the market. RF devices are designed and developed to support various frequency bands depending on the applications.
