Strategy Analytics: Base Station Power Amplifier Transistor Market Expected to Exceed $1 Billion in 2014
BOSTON - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The recently released Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound
Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs) Data Model, "Cellular
Infrastructure Component Demand," forecasts that power
amplifier (PA) transistor revenue from base stations will grow from
nearly $520 million in 2009 to slightly more than $1 billion in 2014.
Consumer adoption of new applications, growing wireless subscriptions
and next generation standards are fueling base station and PA growth.
This Strategy
Analytics report also forecasts traditional macro and microcell base
station deployment will peak at slightly over 1 million base stations
per year in 2012 before falling to slightly less than 1 million in 2014.
Strategy Analytics sees explosive growth for lower capacity pico and
femtocell base stations, estimating that they will exceed 7.8 million
units deployed per year by 2014.
"Mobile operators are responding to consumer demand for data-centric
applications by rolling out high data rate base stations," noted Eric
Higham, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound
Semiconductor Technologies Service. "These higher rates require a
network architecture that makes uses of smaller base stations, which
will fuel strong semiconductor industry growth."
Asif Anwar, Director in the Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies
Practice, added, "We expect to see the market share of gallium nitride
(GaN) transistors increase, but LDMOS will remain the dominant power
amplifier transistor technology."
The Strategy Analytics data
model highlights dynamics in the base station market. It segments
base station, transmit and receiver unit shipments by platform, standard
and geography. The report
also estimates total revenues for electronics by function and process
technology.
