RF Power Amplifier Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Frequency (Less Than 10 GHz, 11-20 GHz, 21-30 GHz, and Above 30 GHz), Technology [Galium Arsenide (GaAs), Galium Nitride (GaN), Silicon Germanium (SiGe), and Others], and Application (Consumer Electronics, Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, Medical, and Others), and Geography
The RF Power Amplifier market size is expected to reach US$ 15.09 billion by 2031 from 5.96 billion in 2023, at an estimated CAGR of 12.3% from 2023 to 2031.
The North America RF power amplifier market report is segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico. The RF power amplifier market growth in North America is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for amplified low-power RF signals across the military and defense industry. The US military researchers have recognized the importance of limiting waste heat generation in gallium nitride-based (GAN-based) power amplifiers. Excessive waste heat can limit the performance and lifetimes of military radar, EW, communications, and other RF and microwave systems. To address this issue, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, two prime US defense contractors, THREADS contracts worth US$ 14.9 million and US$ 14.2 million, respectively. Under the THREADS (i.e., Technologies for Heat Removal in Electronics at the Device Scale) contract, the companies will collaborate to limit waste heat generated in gallium nitride (GAN)-based power amplifiers. With this collaboration, they aim to reduce transistor thermal resistance while maintaining good channel current transport properties. Overcoming the thermal limitations would allow transistors to operate reliably at RF output power density that is close to their fundamental electronic limits.
The US holds a significant position in the North American and global RF power amplifier market, which can be attributed to the robust defense, aerospace, and telecommunications sectors. The country has been home to the world’s largest defense sector, which creates a huge demand for advanced RF power amplifier technologies. Several prominent telecommunications and aerospace companies operating in the US are major consumers of RF power amplifiers. Demand for RF power amplifiers is likely to grow with the increasing acceptance of smart home gadgets. Further, the escalating need for energy-efficient and lightweight electronic devices and the preference for enhanced wireless amplifiers benefit the RF power amplifier market in the US. In September 2022, MaxLinear Inc. and RFHIC announced an alliance to deliver a production-ready 400 MHz power amplifier for 5G macrocell radios, using MaxLinear MaxLIN Digital Predistortion (DPD) and Crest Factor Reduction (CFR) techniques to optimize the performance of RFHIC's latest GaN RF transistors from the ID-400W series. Such collaborations boost the RF power amplifier market in the US
