Global RF Devices Market for Smart TV 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the APAC and EMEA regions; it also covers the landscape of the Global RF Devices market for Smart TV and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
According to the report, one major factor driving this market is the increasing adoption of smart TVs worldwide. Rise in standards of living, increasing per capita income and disposable income, increasing interest in technologically advanced consumer electronics, continually declining average selling price of smart TVs, and increasing penetration of high-speed internet are some factors increasing the adoption of smart TVs worldwide.
Further, the report states that the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry is one major challenge that the market faces. RF device manufacturers depend on OEMs, which in turn depend on end-users for the sale of smart TVs. As a result of seasonal cycles, the market has witnessed fluctuating demand for consumer electronic goods. This often results in a wide demand-supply gap and an inventory stockpile. Any fluctuations in demand from end-users indirectly affect RF devices manufacturers.
