Because the design of RF chips is extremely difficult, many overseas giants have more than ten years of patent accumulation, ordinary enterprises simply can not compete with them.
With the expansion of the Chinese market, in the field of RF chips, also gathered a lot of outstanding enterprises. Especially in this year's chip wave, a lot of RF enterprises have got the latest financing, some excellent RF enterprise financing amount of more than hundreds of millions of yuan. In the market and the double drum of capital, China's market has also begun to give birth to some of the strength of the enterprise.
At present, the global RF chip market is still led by overseas giants in such a situation, with Broadcom, Murata as the dominant enterprise occupies the majority of the market share, China's RF industry total **** only about 5% of the market share, so on the domestic market, China's RF enterprises still have a relatively large growth potential. RF chip on the importance of electronic equipment, has been self-evident. The main role of the RF chip in the cell phone or other electronic equipment, play a function of sending signals, its internal structure, including RF switches, filters, low-noise amplifiers, etc., belongs to the more sophisticated electronic parts.
And on the eve of the commercialization of 5G, the scale of the RF market began to expand. According to data from authoritative organizations, from 2020 onwards, the market for 4G networks has begun to shrink, while the sales of RF chips for 5G devices have begun to grow. It is expected that in 2020 the RF chip shipments of terminal equipment will reach two hundred million, while the market may double in 2021, 5G network RF chip shipments may reach 400 million, five years later, 5G mobile RF chip market will completely surpass the 4G market, that is to say, the growth of the 5G network equipment, it will be the biggest power of the RF market growth in the future.
Accompanied by the rapid growth of China's 5G market, the development of domestic RF chips, also ushered in a golden period. From 2004, there are domestic manufacturers in the field of radio frequency chip to make a lot of investment, after more than a decade of investment, domestic RF manufacturers have a certain degree of progress, but from the level of international manufacturers, there is still a certain gap, and this 5G network development, but also for the domestic RF manufacturers to provide the opportunity to go beyond.
