The next wave of growth has begun with the technologies making their way down the product lifecycle, from research and development to manufacturing and deployment. Greater complexity and technology convergence will
spur demand across verticals, with the largest opportunities coming from communications, semiconductors and computing industries, and the fastest growth in industrial and automotive verticals. Market winners will be those able to meet
the demand while addressing the specific requirements of applications.

“Greater complexity in end-user technologies calls for an increased cost of test. However, with RF proliferation in consumer devices, there is
the notion that the cost of test equipment should follow that trend,” said Jessy Cavazos, Industry Director for Test & Measurement at Frost & Sullivan. “It will be vital for market participants
to come up with a new approach to test in the coming years as the traditional approach is not sustainable from cost and technical perspectives.”
