Envelope Tracking Chips Market Trends:

Growing Automotive Industry

The growing automotive sector is significantly driving the envelope tracking chips market. There has been an increasing shift towards electric vehicles owing to rising government initiatives. For instance, according to IEA, in 2023, about 14 million new electric cars were registered globally, bringing the total number on the road to 40 million. Electric vehicle sales in 2023 were 3.5 million greater than in 2022, representing a 35% year-on-year growth. In automotive applications, envelope tracking (ET) technology helps optimize power consumption by dynamically adjusting the voltage supply to RF power amplifiers based on signal characteristics. This efficiency is crucial for extending battery life in electric vehicles (EVs) and improving overall energy efficiency in conventional vehicles. These factors are further contributing to the envelope tracking chips market share.

Adoption of Wearable Devices

The adoption of wearable technology is one of the prominent factors propelling the Envelope Tracking Chips (ETC) market growth. For instance, according to IMARC, the global wearable technology market size reached US$ 64.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 192.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6% during 2024-2032. Also, according to an article published by Vicert, as of 2020, 30% of American adults are using wearable technology for healthcare. These devices, including smartwatches and healthcare monitors, require extended battery life to enhance user convenience and usability. ETC enables wearable devices to optimize power consumption by dynamically adjusting voltage levels based on real-time usage patterns, thereby extending battery life. These factors are further positively influencing the envelope tracking chips market forecast.

Proliferation of 5G Technology

The proliferation of 5G technology is driving the Envelope Tracking Chips (ETC) market demand. There has been a significant increase in the number of 5G users. For instance, in 2022, around one-tenth of all global connections used 5G technology, with this figure expected to exceed one-half by the end of the decade. As of 2023, about one-third of service providers in the Middle East and Africa offered 5G FWA. ETC can optimize power usage in 5G base stations, smartphones, and other connected devices, supporting the expansion of 5G technology globally, and thereby boosting the envelope tracking chips systems market revenue.
