Surface Acoustic Wave Filters Market size was over USD 5.91 billion in 2024 and is poised to cross USD 17.69 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 8.8% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of surface acoustic wave filters is estimated at USD 6.33 billion.
The growing demand for smartphones is driving the market's growth. Since the invention of mobile phones, manufacturers have employed SAW filters, and they are still a vital component of modern smartphones. A large variety of radio frequency bands (LTE bands) with frequencies ranging from 600 MHz to 2700 MHz have been supported by smartphones in recent years. Manufacturers are packing smartphones in most LTE frequency bands so that they can be compatible with networks around the world.
As a result of technological progress in the field of silicon processing and packaging, manufacturers have been able to reduce device size significantly. Filters are now more efficient and effective than in previous generations, given the development of SAW technology. High-frequency stability over a wide temperature range exists within the existing generations of SAW filters.

Type (RF SAW Filters, IF SAW Filters)
RF surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters market is expected to hold the largest share of 54% during the projected period. This segment increases as RF SAW is the most advanced type of filter aid that helps to provide a smooth latency signal for each SATCOM device. In addition, new opportunities for electronic communication of SATCOM are being created through the use of cost-effective and low-consumption acoustic wave filters based on piezoelectric material such as RF Power Fluor silicon. In addition, the revenue growth of this category over the forecast period is likely to be driven by new developments in bulk acoustic wave BAW products.
Vertical (Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Aerospace & Defence, Telecommunications)
The telecommunications segment in the surface acoustic wave filters market is anticipated to account for a share of 36% during the forecast period. The market has been expanding in view of increasing demand from a wide range of communication equipment, antennas, and communications systems for SAW filters that enable them to efficiently split and transmit signals. In order to enhance communication capacity that serves the purpose of selecting specific frequency bands, modern 5G smartphones have been fitted with almost 100 acoustic wave filters thus increasing demand from mobile network operators for surface acoustic wave filters. Due to the limitation of the conventional SAW filters to less than 3 GHz, the material design is undergoing technological development.

North American Market Forecast
North American surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters market is anticipated to hold the largest share of 33% by the end of 2037. The growth is due to the rapid deployment of SAW filtering, amplification, and processing equipment for jamming systems as well as sensor intelligence receivers in the aerospace and defence sectors. In addition, the North American region is one of the earliest regions where 5G technologies are becoming available and requires sophisticated SAW filters in order to achieve optimal performance. As more 5G networks are put in place around the region, it is estimated that there will be a growing need for SAW filters. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a key factor driving the SAW filter market in the region. In the coming years, demand for RF filters in this region is expected to grow significantly as Internet of Things devices are put into more homes, businesses and industries.
