The rf interconnect market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $45.31 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of 5G networks, the emergence of new communication standards, rapid growth in edge computing, increasing connectivity in the automotive sector, and the continued growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). Major trends expected in the forecast period include an increasing demand for high-frequency applications, trends towards miniaturization and high-density interconnects, advancements in material technologies, the rise of 5G technology, and an emphasis on signal integrity and reliability in RF interconnect solutions.
The growth of the RF interconnect market is significantly fueled by the increasing demand in the telecommunications sector. Telecommunications involves electronically transmitting data over long distances, encompassing voice calls, data, text, photos, and videos. RF interconnect systems play a crucial role in telecommunication companies by facilitating the transmission and reception of high-speed digital signals for sensitive sensor modules. In 2021, according to Telecom Review Africa, there were 61.4 million active mobile subscribers as of December 31, 2020, reflecting a 2.6% increase from the previous quarter. This resulted in a 3.3% point rise in mobile (SIM) penetration to 129.1% during the assessment period. The escalating demand for RF cable assemblies in telecommunications underscores the driving force behind the RF interconnect market.
The anticipated increase in the number of IoT devices is poised to drive the demand for the RF interconnect market in the foreseeable future. IoT devices, embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity features, enable data collection and exchange over the Internet. The proliferation of IoT devices across industries, including smart homes, industrial automation, and healthcare, creates opportunities for RF interconnect providers to deliver solutions for seamless wireless connectivity and data transfer. McKinsey & Company projects the global number of IoT-connected devices to reach 43 billion by 2023, a nearly threefold increase from 2018. DataProt forecasts that active IoT devices will exceed 25.4 billion by 2030, with 152,200 IoT devices connecting to the internet per minute by 2025. The rising number of IoT devices is expected to act as a driving factor for the RF interconnect market.
A key trend gaining traction in the RF interconnect market is product innovation. Major companies in the market are concentrating on developing RF reconnect cables that withstand extreme environments, catering to applications in the defense and aerospace industry. For example, in December 2022, Amphenol RF, a US-based manufacturer of RF interconnect products, introduced high-performance SMA and N-Type configurations for cable mount RF interconnect, specifically designed for low-loss LMR cable types. These innovations feature a black coating suitable for high-demand applications, providing enhanced insulation for superior RF shielding in outdoor settings, with a UV-resistant coating for extended life expectancy.
Innovations in technology, such as thin film process technology, stand out as a significant advancement in sustaining the position of major companies in the RF interconnect market. Thin film process technology involves depositing and patterning extremely thin layers of materials onto a substrate, commonly used in semiconductor and electronic device manufacturing. For instance, in June 2022, Smiths Interconnect, a UK-based leader in advanced electronic components, launched the Planar X Series of thin film bandpass filters designed for harsh environments. Leveraging thin film process technology on various substrates, this series provides high performance in X-, Ku-, and Ka-Bands, catering to mission-critical applications such as radar, satcom, and satellite industries.
In March 2022, RF Industries, a US-based fiber optic cable manufacturing company, acquired Microlab/FXR LLC (Microlab) from the Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition positions RF Industries in the small cell and distributed antenna systems (DAS) markets, integrating Microlab's expertise. Microlab/FXR LLC is a US-based manufacturer of RF interconnect components.
