These chipsets enable high-speed data connection for key applications, such as smart cities, automotive & transportation, and gaming & entertainment to provide customized user experience and optimize the efficiency of utilities and other services. The growth of the 5G chipsets market is majorly driven by the growing demand for high-speed data services, rapidly developing smartphone technology, and proliferation of IoT and connected devices. Additionally, rising government initiatives to build smart cities and increasing partnerships among major players for 5G deployment are the factors boosting the adoption of 5G chipsets.
The growing penetration of internet services in home entertainment, education, and health monitoring is driving the demand for smartphones in the global market. To access these services unhindered, many technological companies, such as Qualcomm, Fujitsu, and Broadcom are investing in 5G technology to grab the major share of the market. Moreover, the technological development in the automotive industry and the emergence of self-driving cars is elevating the need for enhanced data transfer network technology, delivering results instantaneously.
Industries worldwide are considering IoT as one of the major factors that can increase their productivity by automating their business and manufacturing processes. This has significantly increased the push for 5G network technology to support higher data transfer and lower latency. Some of the major applications of 5G in manufacturing include closed-loop robotic control, machine-human interaction, automated guided vehicles, and AR & VR for machine maintenance.
The spread of COVID-19 has dramatically affected the manufacturing and process industries. Nationwide lockdowns are freezing the economy with unexpected force and speed. Unemployment is shooting up far faster than the 2008 recession, which is expected to hurt the world’ economy.
Although COVID-19 has reduced the pace of adopting 5g technology in various regions, the effect of COVID-19 on 5G chipsets is not very significant, as it is in the nascent stage in various regions. The majority of COVID-19 effect on 5G can only be seen in Asia-Pacific, as the region has deployed some of the first 5G networks, compared to other regions where many markets have yet to launch 5G. Due to this, the 5G chipsets market will witness a short-term slowdown, followed by a quick recovery during the forecast period.
Moreover, COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of a robust digital economy to cushion the economic and industrial shock of control measures. It has led various industries to shift their operations completely on remote servers, which requires high-speed data connection and lower latency. Due to these reasons, the implementation of 5G services will grow, which will support the market growth of 5G chipsets during the forecast period.
