Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/795hc3/global_smartphone) has announced the addition of the "Global Smartphone RF Power Amplifier Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global RF Power Amplifier market for Smartphone to grow at a CAGR of 22.35% over the period 2013-2018. One major trend emerging in this market is an increase in internet penetration. There is a rise in the number of smartphone users, which tend to access the internet for various reasons, especially to access social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. According to the report, the increased adoption of smartphones worldwide is one of the major drivers in the market. Rising standard of living, growing per capita income and disposable income, increasing interest in adopting advanced consumer electronics, declining ASP of smartphones, and penetration of high-speed internet are some factors that are causing the high adoption of smart smartphones worldwide, encouraging encouraged RF devices manufacturers to develop innovative and power-efficient RF power amplifiers for smartphones. Further, the report states that the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry is one of the major challenges that curtail the market growth. RF device manufacturers depend on original equipment manufacturers, which depend on end-users for the sale of smartphones. Consumer electronic goods such as smartphones witness a fluctuation in demand, which often leads to a demand-supply gap and an inventory stockpile. Hence, any fluctuation in demand from end-users indirectly affects RF devices manufacturers. This amplifier is technologically advanced and compatible with 3G and 4G technologies. Depending on the applications, RF power amplifier is designed and developed to work on various frequency bands. It is extremely compact in size and can fit easily in smartphones and other wireless communication devices. Some of the other wireless communication devices that use RF devices are notebooks, e-readers, and GPS devices. However, one of the major problems that an RF power amplifier face today is power inefficiency. RF power amplifier wastes around 65 percent of its energy to draining of battery, while running high-performance computing applications on smartphones.
