The global market for non-cellular waveform chipsets in
mobile phones was worth nearly $4.3 billion in 2010 and is expected to increase
at a 17.8 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach $9.7 billion in
2015.
BCC Research
has identified NFC as the fastest growing waveform. This sector was
valued at $41 million in 2010 and is expected to reach $180 million in 2015, a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.4 percent.
Wi-Fi will continue to be the most dominant non-cellular
waveform by a wide margin. BCC forecasts that all phones will support Wi-Fi,
overcoming the smartphone-non-smartphone barrier, and Wi-Fi will become a
global standard. This sector was valued at $2 billion in 2010 and is expected
to reach $4.3 billion in 2015, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4
percent.
Changes in mobile phones are occurring rapidly. Many of these
changes are driven by advances in mobile computing and the data capabilities of
cellular network infrastructures.
This positive traction on the application side has
necessitated the adoption of allied wireless standards that have diverse
purposes, ranging from short-range communication to subscriber authentication.
This report forecasts the market size for such waveform chipsets in mobile
phones.
