TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global Combo-chip for Tablet Market: Broadcom Corp., Marvell Technology Group Ltd., and Texas Instruments Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the emerging trends witnessed in recent years is the integration of multiple features on a single platform. Combo-chips have become a vital component for wireless connectivity devices such as tablets and smartphones. The increasing need among consumers to communicate and access data has increased the demand for combo-chips in tablets. Combo-chips that integrate Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, FM radio, and NFC technology provide tablet users with faster connectivity and consume less power than stand-alone chips. Thus, the functional consolidation in tablets is expected to drive the Global Combo-chip for Tablet market during the forecast period. ”
According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the increasing sales of tablets. The increasing adoption of tablets across the globe has encouraged vendors to continuously add multiple features in tablets to give a better consumer experience. The integration of combo-chips in tablets provides high performance, and range and power advantages, thereby increasing the adoption of tablets, which in turn contributes to the growth of this market.
Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the high cost of integration. With the reduction in the size of tablets, the size and cost of every component in tablets has become important for manufacturers. Combo-chips are smaller than stand-alone chips, and require external components, thus leading to high upfront costs for vendors.
