Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Filters Market Analysis

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.
