Radio Frequency Front End (RFFE) industry was well-positioned prior to 2018 as 5G deployment plans began to take shape. Multiple collaborations between the US, the innovation hub, and APAC, the manufacturing hub, fueled the industry’s growth. The aim was to cater to the global demands of new applications and services. However, since then, the geopolitical divide, tech war, and the COVID-19 crisis have altogether changed the industry ambitions and such factors continue to reshape its future. Furthermore, considering 5G and the need to suffice its high requirements, RFFE for smartphones must also undergo many changes.
