According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global RF CMOS Front-ends ICs market size was valued at US$ 321 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 827 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 14.6% during review period.
RF CMOS front-ends ICs are highly integrated radio frequency front-end solutions built on CMOS processes to support automotive radar, industrial radar, and IoT devices with smaller footprint, lower cost, and strong wireless transceiver performance. In 2024, production was about 22.5 million units and the average price was USD 12 per unit. The industry’s capacity utilization rate in 2024 was around 51% and the average gross margin was about 55%. Upstream inputs include silicon wafers, photoresists, lithography machines, and etching equipment, with representative suppliers such as ASML, Tokyo Electron, and Applied Materials providing essential tools and materials for semiconductor fabrication. The midstream focuses on system architecture design, analog front-end development, circuit integration, digital signal processing, mixed-signal verification, and tape-out management, which determine performance and integration. Downstream, RF CMOS front-ends ICs are widely used in automotive and industrial radar systems, with Valeo, Continental, and Aptiv adopting these solutions to reduce cost and size while improving performance. The market has been led by NXP Semiconductors and Texas Instruments. A decade ago, automotive radar used SiGe-based architectures that offered strong RF performance but required multiple chips because digital blocks such as MCUs and DSPs could not be integrated on the same die. Around 2017, Texas Instruments introduced a single-chip millimeter-wave radar based on RF CMOS that integrated the RF front-end, ADC, DSP, and MCU on one CMOS chip, significantly enhancing integration and lowering system cost. NXP later leveraged its S32 architecture to provide high-integration RF CMOS solutions and quickly secured Tier 1 customers. Infineon maintained advantages in SiGe but did not shift to RF CMOS in time and missed the key market transition toward high-integration radar platforms.
