Power Amplifier Market, with a 6.65% CAGR, is expected to grow to USD 33.975 billion in 2030 from USD 24.628 billion in 2025.
A power amplifier (PA) boosts a low-power signal's power to a high level. The power amplifiers include RF power amplifiers, which are used in the transmitter's final stage, and audio amplifiers, which power speakers and headphones. The increasing use of 5G and the increasing deployment of power semiconductors in smartphones are two major drivers driving up demand.
The growing demand for larger data rates and greater spectral efficiency, high-speed mobile broadband internet is becoming increasingly important. As a result, LTE is also deployed, which is expected to boost demand for power amplifiers, thereby driving the overall market growth during the forecasted period.
A power amplifier's principal function is to increase the radio signal's strength to levels appropriate for cable or wireless transmission from the transmitter to the receiver. It is used to boost a signal's voltage, current, or power. Wireless communications, broadcasting, and all types of audio equipment employ power amplifiers in the telecommunications sector. The rising product development in the telecommunications sector will boost the market growth. In June 2022, company CML Microcircuits released the CMX90A702 28 GHz 5G medium power amplifier available (MPA) for global telecoms systems.
The 5G mmWave infrastructure applications that the CMX90A702 MPA is designed to support include repeaters, small cells, customer premises equipment (CPE), passive antenna arrays, and 5G backhaul applications. In August 2022, in India, the Radiofrequency power amplifiers had been produced domestically by the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) and the Indian Institute of Technology in Roorkee (IIT-R). These amplifiers will transform low-power radio-frequency signals into higher-power and they will raise the audio frequency to meet future requirements used in the telecommunication industry.
Globally, consumer electronics are being adopted at an increasing rate, and devices like smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smart televisions, and smart homes are expected to lead this trend. which will drive the power amplifier market growth. The IBEF reported that by 2020, the Indian appliance and consumer electronics (ACE) market reached Rs 2.05 trillion (US$31.48 billion.
The advent of 5G wireless communication, coupled with growing electronic device utilization, will positively impact the demand for power amplifiers. According to the Federal Communications Commission, in the United States, the number of 5G mobile service subscriptions increased by 161.4% to 41.3 million in 2021 from 2020, and it is projected that this high growth will last for several years. These increasing electronic markets and advancements in 5G technology will certainly drive the power amplifier market growth.
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to dominate the power amplifier market during the projection period as a result of the flourishing electronics industry in countries like China and India. The continual increases in the number of electronic customers in developing nations have also contributed to the expansion of this market. For instance, according to the State Council of the People's Republic of China, the added value of major electronics makers grew 12.7% year over year in the two months between January and February 2022, as opposed to the 7.5% growth experienced by the country's entire industrial sector. In October 2022, the government of India officially introduced 5G services in India.
The 5G use cases were created by telecommunications companies and start-ups in the fields of labor safety, smart agriculture, and others, and are currently being implemented nationally. According to Press Information Bureau, by September 2022, there were around 816 million connections to the internet broadband from 61 million connections in March 2014, showing a rise of 1238. The increase in 5G technology, growing internet connection, and electric vehicle usage due to the increase in IoT applications will boost the power amplifier market growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
