Mobile Device Semiconductor Markets

Platform ICs, MEMS, Wireless Connectivity ICs, and Audio ICs

Research Report

Mobile device semiconductors were one of the few bright spots in a chipset market that stalled in 2011. Revenue from chipsets designed for mobile devices increased by more than 20% per annum in 2011, while the total semiconductor market struggled to see 2% year-on-year growth. This study brings together key forecasts and research findings from ABI Research's Mobile Device Semiconductors Research Service. It encompasses a wide range of semiconductor technologies and mobile device end markets to give a comprehensive overview of the current market and assumptions on future market growth. It covers 15 product types grouped into four main segments: platform ICs, connectivity ICs, MEMS sensors, and audio ICs across seven different mobile devices: ultra low end handsets, low end handsets, enhanced phones, smartphones, media tablets, eBook readers, and handheld gaming.
