It also provides comprehensive data on semiconductor BOM costs by air interface standard and component subsystem. Further detail is provided by component for each air interface. Key forecast assumptions are identified, and their potential impact on the mobile phone semiconductor market is discussed. A comparison of the current forecast with the prior forecast is also noted.

"Worldwide mobile phone semiconductor revenue is expected to drop by 12.4% this year to $39.3 billion in response to the sharp global economic slowdown over the last year. We expect consumers to gradually return to their past replacement cycles through 2010 and 2011 to help rebuild industry revenue, although 2008 levels will not be retraced until after 2013." — Flint Pulskamp, analyst, Wireless/Mobile Semiconductors
