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 fierce competition as companies seek to take advantage of the rapid deployment of 5G technology worldwide. Samsung Exynos is also a very important part of the market in Asia, especially because of its Asia base.
