Wide Adoption of BAW Sensors Driving the Market

The increasing market activities in the BAW devices, the applications of BAW sensors are growing in the defense, industrial, and commercial wireless application. Different types of substrates have been used for BAW sensors with the demand more driven by economics and fabrication constraints. The increasing demand for advanced wireless technology, like LTE, has made the application of new RF features mandatory in tablets and smartphones. Therefore, the growing shipments of the smart gadgets, such as smartphones and tablets, over the forecast period is expected to create a significant demand for BAW filters owing to the increasing proliferation of LTE networks. Furthermore, BAW sensors have a small form factor and deliver improved performances, which are expected to be the major cause for their adoption in the coming years.

Telecommunications Industry has the Fastest Growth Rate

BAW sensors are now snowballing in the market, migrating from defense and industrial markets to consumer wireless applications. BAW sensors are fabricated for use below 500 MHz, the economic range or the sensors is above 1.5 GHz. Above 1.9 GHz, BAW sensors become competitive against surface acoustic wave sensors. The highest penetration of BAW sensors has been witnessed in the telecommunication sector. The cost has been reduced to be competitive with existing technologies, which is expected to the drive the market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Dominant in the Market

The increasing usage of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices is growing the integration of BAW sensors in automobile applications in the developed and developing economies, such as US, China, South Korea, Japan, and India, which are expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. North America followed the Asia–Pacific region due to the presence of various key players in this region.

Europe and Latin America offer potential growth opportunities in BAW sensors market due to the increasing demand for advanced technologies from various verticals, thereby, will drive the market in the regions.
