Skyworks Claims 56% Of Power Amplifier Module Market In Taiwan

Market Intelligence Center report highlights Skyworks' market share gains

Woburn, MA -- Skyworks Solutions, Inc. today announced that it has captured 56% share of Taiwan's power amplifier (PA) module market, based on research from Market Intelligence Center's "Taiwanese Mobile Phone Key Component Adoption, 4Q 2004" report.

"According to our detailed assessment tracking of all Taiwanese handset suppliers, Skyworks has moved to nearly 60% market share, up from 20% in 2003," the report states. "In large part, this is due to the success of their iPAC and single-chip DCR solutions. Skyworks appears to be well-positioned, as OEMs and ODMs require higher levels of RF and system integration."

"Skyworks is delighted to have third-party validation of our tremendous market share gains," said Kevin D. Barber, senior VP and general manager of RF Solutions at Skyworks. "Our momentum is being fueled by our unique ability to pair best-in-class PAs with single-chip DCRs among key Taiwanese OEMs and ODMs such as Arima, BenQ, Chi Mei, Compal, and Quanta. From this strong leadership position, we are now migrating these customers to our higher value front-end modules, Helios RF subsystems, single package radios, and complete cellular system solutions for EDGE and WCDMA applications."
