The Middle East & Africa data converter market was valued at US$ 352.31 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 549.16 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2030.
Rising Demand for Data Converters in Wireless Communications Bolsters Middle East & Africa Data Converter Market
Wireless infrastructure service providers, mostly 4G and 5G service providers, focus on maintaining strict criteria for service quality, performance, and functionality. ADC is a crucial factor that digitalizes the incoming intermediate frequency (IF) signal and then transfers the data to the digital down converter (DDC). Data conversion block is another crucial factor in wireless infrastructure designs. Frequency filtering and translation can be moved from analog to digital domain to fulfill the increasing demand for a high bandwidth 5G spectrum.
Companies in the data converter market are engaged in creating solutions that can help in enhancing wireless applications. In August 2021, Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two highly integrated high-speed converters from Analog Devices, Inc. The AD9081 and AD9082 mixed-signal front-ends combine high-performance analog and digital signal processing and enable designers to install multiband radios in the same footprint as single-band radios. By modifying more of the frequency filtering and translation from the analog to the digital domain, the AD9081/2 provides designers with the software reconfigurability to customize radios. In June 2023, Analog Devices announced the launch of Apollo MxFE, its most advanced software-defined, direct RF-sampling, wideband mixed-signal front-end platform. Apollo MxFE enables next-generation applications such as phased array radar, electronic surveillance, test and measurement, and 6G communications in the aerospace & defense, instrumentation, and wireless communications industries.
Companies such as Synopsis provide analog IP for broadband and wired communication SoCs. The data converter IP portfolio allows designers to bring mobile and wireless communication, including 5G and SoCs, to market. Synopsys solution for the baseband analog interface - Analog Front-End (AFE) is based on state-of-the-art data converter and PLL building blocks that will enable designers meet their specific application's requirements, reduce risk, and improve time-to-market. Thus, the increasing use and demand for data converters in wireless communication bolster the Middle East & Africa data converter market growth.
Middle East & Africa Data Converter Market Overview
The Middle East & Africa (MEA) data converter market is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The region has a very strong automotive industry. Several foreign companies are investing in the region. For instance, in February 2024, Kia announced that it is planning to introduce its new "Platform Beyond Vehicle" (PBV) model in the MEA in 2026. Kia Middle East & Africa hosted an event to showcase the modular vehicles on February 20 and 21, 2024, at Banyan Tree, Bluewaters Island, Dubai.
The increasing domestic demand for high-end cars and a robust logistics sector in Dubai boost the market in the Middle East & Africa. In addition, the growing medical sector in Saudi Arabia is boosting the demand for data converters. The country accounts for ~60% of the healthcare expenditure of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. According to the International Trade Administration US Department of Commerce, in 2024, Under Vision 2030, the Saudi Arabian Government is planning to invest over US$ 65 billion to develop the country's healthcare infrastructure, reorganize and privatize health services and insurance, launch 21 "health clusters" across the country, and expand the provision of e-health services. Additionally, it aims to increase private sector contribution from 40-65% by 2030, targeting the privatization of 290 hospitals and 2,300 primary health centers, creating significant commercial opportunities for the US companies in Saudi Arabia's developing healthcare market. Therefore, the growing medical and automotive industry in the Middle East & Africa is predicted to pave the path for the development of more products that can make data conversion easy and quick. This aspect would positively impact the demand for data converters.
