Semiconductor Device Market Analysis

The Semiconductor Device Market In Communication Industry is expected to grow from USD 240.25 billion in 2025 to USD 344.91 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • Wired or wireless semiconductors form an important part of communications technology, from network connectivity, base stations, and routers to phones, laptops, and other connected devices.
  • In recent years, wireless technology has revolutionized the communication industry, with mobile subscriptions across the world growing at a rapid rate. The most familiar wireless application is the mobile phone, where smartphones account for a major share of all mobile subscriptions globally. Today's cell phones mostly use 4G wireless communications systems. The data transmission standards for 4G are extremely fast, and 5G systems currently in development will be even faster.
  • The regional governments are taking initiatives to support the global rollout of 5G and are driving the growth of the semiconductor device market in the communication industry. For instance, the European Commission has established a public-private partnership to develop 5G technology. As a result, the European Commission has announced over GBP 700 million (~USD 889.5 million) in public funding to support the rollout of 5G across Europe through its Horizon 2020 program.
  • Furthermore, investments in supporting IT infrastructure have also been growing to support the growing penetration of digital technologies and a growing number of internet users. For instance, by 2025, about 45 new data centers will come up in India, attracting investment of nearly USD 10 billion since 2020. Such trends generate a favorable outlook for the studied market's growth during the projected timeline.
  • However, as miniaturization is one of the high-priority trends in the semiconductor industry, the increasing demand for smaller chips is expected to hinder the market's growth, as shrinking chip size significantly increases design and manufacturing complexity.
  • Moreover, the pandemic increased the 5G deployment, digital transformation, and demand for high-speed network connectivity due to the remote work culture. The communication industry has been greatly impacted because communications are crucial to the efficient running of various industries, including the medical, governmental, and private sectors.

Semiconductor Device Industry Overview

The semiconductor device market in the Communication Industry is experiencing fluctuations due to factors such as increased consolidation, rapid technological advancements, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. In a market where sustainable competitive advantages are driven by innovation, competition is on the rise. In this context, the importance of brand identity must be addressed, given the high-quality expectations of end-users when it comes to semiconductor manufacturing.

Several major players dominate this market, including Intel Corporation, Nvidia Corporation, Kyocera Corporation, Qualcomm Technologies Inc., and STMicroelectronics NV, leading to high levels of market penetration.

In April 2023, Kyocera Corporation announced a groundbreaking development - a new capacitor (MLCC) in the EIA 0201 size category, boasting the industry's highest capacitance at 10 microfarads. The KGM03 series from Kyocera is widely used in wearable devices and smartphones. The increased capacity of these compact MLCCs empowers designers to meet system requirements with fewer components and minimal space utilization.

In June 2022, Texas Instruments extended its connectivity portfolio by introducing new wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) that offer high-quality Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) at a fraction of the cost of competitors. The SimpleLink Bluetooth LE CC2340 series leverages the company's extensive experience in wireless communication and delivers best-in-class standby current and radio-frequency (RF) performance.

March 2022 saw Analog Devices Inc. introduce a millimeter-wave (mmW) 5G front-end chipset designed to cover the necessary frequency bands. This innovation enables designers to simplify their designs and bring smaller and more versatile 5G radios to the market faster. The chipset consists of four highly integrated ICs, offering a comprehensive solution that significantly reduces the number of components required for 24 to 47GHz 5G radios.
