BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global cellular baseband processor market posted a robust 27 percent year-over-year to reach an all-time-high $7.1 billion in Q3 2020, according to Strategy Analytics’ Handset Component Technologies service report.
Christopher Taylor, Director of the Strategy Analytics RF & Wireless Components service, added, “MediaTek made headway in the 5G market and more than doubled its 5G baseband shipments on a sequential basis in Q3 2020. MediaTek continued to gain share in the 4G baseband market and captured the top unit share spot in Q3 2020. MediaTek’s good run will continue through 2021. Strategy Analytics, however, cautions that MediaTek should not repeat its 4G mistakes, which resulted in rapid price and margin erosion. MediaTek needs to maintain an aggressive product mix to keep margins healthy, which would allow the company to re-invest further in R&D.”
Stephen Entwistle, Vice President of the Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies Practice, stated, “HiSilicon saw its baseband shipments decline over 20 percent in Q3 2020 driven by trade restrictions. Strategy Analytics believes that Huawei may need to sell HiSilicon assets to a third party to ensure HiSilicon’s survival given the continued uncertainty. Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung LSI will capture the market share left by HiSilicon in 2021.”
