Abstract
This IDC study includes a vendor market share analysis on a worldwide basis for the mobile phone semiconductor industry for 2007. This market grew 9.0% to $23.4 billion last year as the industry continued to migrate from 2.5G to 3G/3.5G technologies. Chipset-specific revenue for 2.5G dropped 3.5% to $10.6 billion, while 3G/3.5G chipset revenue grew by 44% to $7.2 billion. The industry saw continued growth in cellular chipsets, applications processors and media coprocessors, and a variety of connectivity chipsets.
"The continued migration from 2.5G technologies to 3G/3.5G technologies is progressing well and enabled a 9% growth in overall mobile phone semiconductor revenue in 2007. We expect this steady migration and growth to continue and be boosted by increased semiconductor revenue from multimedia processing and connectivity growth." - Flint Pulskamp, IDC analyst, Wireless Semiconductors Research.
