Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Filter Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Number of Smart Phones and Tablets to Favor the Market

SAW filters are still an important part of any smartphone, having been used by manufacturers for many years since the initial generation of cell phones. Since the launch of LTE, a wide range of radio frequency bands, or LTE bands, from 600MHz to 2700MHz, have been supported by smartphones. In order to ensure global network compatibility, smartphone manufacturers incorporate the majority of LTE bands that are often used. Sub-6GHz bandwidth was made available by 5G for earlier deployments, and SAW filters are capable of capturing the majority of lower-band frequencies. SAW filter solutions provide high-performance duplexers and multiplexers for RF communication modules that power contemporary mobile devices. Globally, smartphone use is almost universal in industrialized countries. According to estimates from 2023, there are presently more than 6.5 billion smartphones in use worldwide, and this figure is expected to rise in the years to come. This is to drive the demand in the surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter market.

Rapid 5G Deployment

The need for SAW filters is being driven by the introduction of 5G technology and the expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Precise filtering is necessary for these applications to operate in complicated radio environments. The goal of ongoing research is to further reduce the size of SAW filters so they can fit into progressively smaller electronic devices without sacrificing functionality. Efforts are also underway to lower production costs and enhance performance by integrating SAW filters with other parts on a single chip.
