MMIC Market Poised for Growth Amidst 5G Advancements and Technological Innovations, States Fact. MR
The global monolithic microwave IC market is set to reach a valuation of US$ 11,913.8 Mn in 2024 and further expand at a CAGR of 9.8% to end up at US$ 30,344 Mn by 2034.
MMICs play a critical role in operating at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies, typically above 1 GHz. While the MMIC segment accounts for only about 1-3 % of the semiconductor industry, its growth is expected to increase considerably because of improved 5G technology and increasing demand from the automotive, defense, and telecommunication industries. This is because of the growing demand for high-frequency and high-performance electronics in 5G deployment, smartphones, and other high-tech applications.
This means that generally, MMIC-based chips have high costs owing to the nature of specialized materials used and smaller quantities in which MMICs are produced. There exist difficulties that increase the manufacturing costs, hence lowering the level of wide application. However, players in this market are trying to solve these problems as investments are made in research and development to improve MMIC performance and lower costs. With innovations in materials and manufacturing processes, the market is set to grow further.
At the regional level, one can easily discern that, indeed, the United States MMIC market will continue to develop vigorously due to 5G advancements in aerospace and defense. Some of the key driving forces include increasing demand for high-frequency components and the integration of MMICs in radar systems and satellite communications. The U.S. market still manages to leverage its long-term investment in R&D to set a course for further growth in next-generation communications technologies and defense applications.
The MMIC market of China has taken off with rapid technological progress, together with rising demand for high-frequency applications. Domestic production has been pushed through initiatives such as the 5G rollouts and defense expansion, backed by the 'Made in China 2025' program. However, huge challenges still exist in achieving self-sufficiency in the output of high-end MMICs, partly due to trade tensions with the U.S.
In general, MMIC manufacturers increase product portfolios, maintain innovation in focus, and branch into high-growth areas like autonomous driving and renewable energy. These are some of the strategies laid down to bring more market penetration and make up for changing demands in various industries.
