The speed and reliability of 5G are expected to have a significant impact on machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT). Better connectivity for smooth communication and low power requirements are key reasons for the increased adoption of new M2M technologies. To achieve effective M2M communication, mobile networks' existing capacity must be able to handle billions of nodes that are expected to ascend in the coming years. The network capacity is currently insufficient to handle M2M and human-based communications, as well as their various communication patterns such as latency time. As a result, a next-generation cellular network for mobile communication is required, with hyper-connectivity and increased bandwidth (e.g., 5G network). M2M communication technology will be widely used in heavy manufacturing and process industries (e.g., food industries) to improve process efficiency and reduce human interference with machines. As a result, M2M communication is expected to drive the 5G chipset market.

Intelligent cities and smart infrastructure are vital aspects of IoT applications. As organizations already utilize IoT to monitor equipment efficiency, the tendency to use IoT is likely to also increase requirements for 5G chipsets.

The Asia Pacific region held the highest share of global 5G chipset market in 2021. As a result, 5G smartphone investments have grown in the region. Over the forecast period, the growing preference for smart manufacturing in emerging economies such as China and India is expected to drive the adoption of 5G chipset components.

Global 5G Chipset Market size was valued at USD 16.04 Billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 19.54 Billion in 2023 to USD 94.63 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 21.8% in the forecast period (2024-2031). 

The 5G chipset market is characterized by intense competition as companies strive to capitalize on the rapid adoption of 5G technology across the globe. Leading players in the market are at the forefront of innovation, developing high-performance chipsets for various applications including smartphones, automotive, IoT, and networking infrastructure. Qualcomm has the lion's share with its Snapdragon series, but MediaTek is significant too, aiming to deliver powerful and cheap chipsets simultaneously. While Samsung Exynos is also a very important part of the market in Asia, especially because of its Asia base. Huawei, which is known for its Kirin chipsets, even though it is facing international trade bans, continues in the process of developing its innovation. The 5G solutions that Intel are devoted to the markets of infrastructure and data centre. Another prominent player like Unisoc and Marvell Technology Group whose stock has been steadily increasing is also looking to capture the market. The market is underpinned by the several factors namely the rising demand for high-speed internet connectivity, the expansion of applications of IoT and the development of smart cities and autonomous vehicles. The development of the 5G market over the next year is likely to lead to a more intensified competitive environment where companies will allocate significant resources to innovative research and development to stay ahead of the technological curve.

5G becomes more important due to the demand of high-speed internet and the spread of the Internet of things devices, that is why chipsets is the required element. With an increase in 5G deployment around the world, the need for enhanced chipset with capacity to process 5G data rates (faster) is expected to spike. 

Based on SkyQuest in-depth study, we found that the North America market is leading the global 5G chipset market and can be attributed to its excellent telecommunication infrastructure and the fact that the region has been quick to make use of advanced technology first. The U.S. and Canada regions have benefited from several major telecommunications and 5G chipset companies becomes a solid intrinsic for the market growth in this region. Apart from that Ma governmental policies and investments in 5G sector essentially are a kindle that serves for market expansion all over the US. The urgent need for the high-speed Internet and the 5G connectivity in both the automotive and the healthcare sectors and entertainment are major reasons contributing to their leadership in the 5G chipset market. Asia Pacific area is observed to be the fastest growing 5G chipset market, this phenomenon is happening largely because of the rapid growth in telecommunications infrastructure in countries such as Japan, China and Singapore. Developed countries have been rapid to deploy 5G networks and thus act as a catalyst for innovation in 5G technologies.  Urbanization in this region not only bring high population density but also becomes a factor for better mobile networks due to the increased demand for more advanced technology. Besides, the dominance of 5G chipset market leaders and continuous investments in research and development initiatives in countries like China and South Korea have amplified the speed of growth in this region. The encouragement of innovation should logically bring 5G technology up to the status of major platform capable of catering to innovative application needs in this area.
