BULK ACOUSTIC WAVE FILTER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global bulk acoustic wave filter market was valued at USD 5.14 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to USD 5.32 billion in 2026, reaching USD 7.22 billion by 2035, with a projected CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

One sort of electronic band pass radio frequency filter is a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter. BAW filters are commonly used in electronics to convert electrical energy to acoustic energy. BAW RF filters are commonly employed in applications requiring frequencies up to 6 GHz. Acoustic waves are low-frequency waves that perform effectively in systems with higher frequencies. They serve as the foundation for SAW resonators, delay lines, oscillators, and filters. Acoustic filters are filter technologies that fulfil the performance requirements specified by cellular phone standards as well as their form factor. Acoustic wave filters are classified into two types: surface acoustic wave filters (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave filters (BAW). Surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters are almost solely utilised in the frequency range up to 1 GHz, whereas bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters are used at higher frequencies.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Manufacturing industry upheaval has an impact on market growth.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with bulk acoustic wave filter market experiencing Higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a substantial impact on the operations of several businesses and economies throughout the world. This epidemic has proven to be worse than critical economic, geopolitical, and political conflicts occurring throughout the planet. As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, several industrial units have temporarily suspended and ceased import-export activity, disrupting overall supply chains and affecting demand and supply balance. The Bulk Acoustic Wave Filter market is no exception to the other businesses that will be impacted by COVID-19 in the first half of 2020. During this period, market revenue declined due to a drop in demand from several industrial verticals, which impacted semiconductor output.
