Baseband Processor Forecast: 2012 Market Up Despite Slower Handset Growth

The global cellular baseband processor market will grow 17 percent in dollar terms in 2012 over 2011, driven primarily by the rapid growth of LTE. Unit shipments will grow at a more modest 7.7 percent, reflecting a slower than usual growth in handset shipments in 2012. Over the next five years, growth of LTE and the adoption of more baseband-integrated applications processors will help push the baseband market to an estimated $23 billion in 2017. This report contains SA's most recent forecast of cellular baseband unit shipments, market revenue and ASPs for six major air interfaces through 2017. The forecast considers all expected cellular terminal shipments, not just handsets.
