SUMMARY
WCDMA and 3G Network Rollouts Drive Basestation Semiconductor Markets
Rising demand for data communication services across the world has vastly
refined the handset basestation semiconductor market due to their high
processing capabilities. The inability of 2G technologies to support wideband
code division multiple access (WCDMA), which provides enormous capacities at
low costs, has encouraged the proliferation of upgraded 3G networks. With the
recent introduction of WCDMA in Japan, the Asian markets are becoming
increasingly lucrative.
This Frost & Sullivan research service examines the trends in the global
markets for handset basestation semiconductors. The study also discusses the
prevailing market drivers and industry challenges and gives an overview of the
market revenues and shares.
Slow Adoption Rate by Asian Countries and China's Delay in Issuing 3G Licenses
Likely to Have Great Impact on the Market
The lower labor costs in Asian countries such as China, South Korea, and India
are encouraging semiconductor companies to outsource their manufacturing
facilities to these regions. However, facilities in these regions have limited
capabilities to tackle 3G technologies such as enhanced data GSM environment
(EDGE). "To combat this challenge, semiconductor companies are adopting the
business model of selling reference designs," says the analyst.
Another factor set to influence the global handset basestation semiconductor
markets is the Chinese Government's issuance of 3G licenses. Since tests on 3G
standards are likely to go on until the end of 2005, China is expected to
start issuing licenses from mid 2006, just before the 2008 Olympics to be held
in Beijing. This issuance holds the key to the basestation semiconductors
market since China has one the world's biggest mobile markets -- nearly 380
million subscribers and still growing.
Technological Trend and Growth of Subscriber Base Sway the Market Positively
With the rapid proliferation of 3G and WCDMA networks, the subscription rate
for mobile handsets is on an upward trend. This in turn is expected to boost
demand for upgraded basestations, positively driving the global sales of
semiconductors.
Technological advancements have introduced feature-rich services such as
wireless access points and multimedia content for enhanced video communication
that also require an improvement in the capacity of basestations. "The demand
for such advanced functionalities is propelling semiconductor device designers
to technologically innovate and adopt processes that are likely to support
these functions," concludes the analyst.
