At present, the global RF chip market is still dominated by overseas giants. Broadcom and Murata-led enterprises occupy most of the market share, while China's RF industry only accounts for about 5% of the market share. Therefore, as far as the domestic market is concerned, China's RF enterprises still have great growth potential. The importance of RF chip to electronic equipment is self-evident. The main function of RF chip is to send signals in mobile phones or other electronic devices. Its internal structure includes RF switch, filter and low noise amplifier. It is a relatively precise electronic part.
On the eve of 5G commercialization, the scale of the RF market began to expand. According to authoritative data, since 2020, the market of 4G networks has started to shrink, while the sales of RF chips of 5G devices have started to increase. It is estimated that the shipment of terminal equipment RF chips will reach 200 million pieces in 2020, the market may double in 20021year, and the shipment of 5G network RF chips may reach 400 million pieces. Five years later, the RF chip market of 5G mobile terminals will surpass the 4G market in an all-round way, that is to say, the growth of 5G network equipment will be the biggest driving force for the future RF market growth.
With the rapid growth of China's 5G market, the development of domestic RF chips has also ushered in a golden period. Since 2004, domestic manufacturers have invested heavily in the field of RF chips. After more than ten years of investment, domestic RF manufacturers have made some progress, but there is still a certain gap from the level of international manufacturers. The development of this 5G network also provides opportunities for domestic RF manufacturers to surpass.
