The global semiconductor market is headed for the largest decline in 18 years. The market dropped 32% in 2001 when the Internet bubble burst. The 2019 decline should be around 15%, the third largest annual drop after 2001 and a 17% drop in 1985. The current weakness is largely due to excess memory capacity (DRAM and NAND flash) relative to demand.

After slowing in the past couple years, semiconductor merger and acquisition activity strengthened in the first eight months of 2019 with the combined value of about 20 M&A agreement announcements reaching $28.0bn for the purchase of chip companies, business units, product lines, intellectual property (IP), and wafer fabs between January and the end of August.

T-Mobile, Qualcomm Technologies, and Ericsson, have achieved the world’s first known low-band 5G data session on a commercial 5G modem.

In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz has successfully verified an A-GPS control-plane LPP test session over 5G NR using a device powered by the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and Qualcomm RF Front-end solutions.

The first half of 2019 recorded an increase in healthtech M&A activity, with a healthy 100 deals inked (11% more than in 2H 2018) and around $8.3bn in disclosed transaction value throughout the period, reveals Hampleton Partners in its latest global Healthtech M&A Market Report.

Some projections for the global Internet of Things (IoT) market are that it will grow to $457bn by 2020, up from $157bn in 2016 (Forbes, 2017). More recently, Microsoft announced that it will invest $5 billion in the IoT over the next four years (Microsoft IoT, 2018).

Ficosa has reportedly become the first global manufacturer to receive European RED certification for its CarCom platform with Cellular-V2X technology. This platform integrates Qualcomm’s latest technology and has been certified in collaboration with Dekra Laboratories.

Keysight Technologies says that Fibocom Wireless has selected the company's 5G network emulation solutions to accelerate development and validation of 5G new radio (NR) modules for the PC market. Fibocom, China's first publicly listed wireless module provider, selected Keysight's 5G RF DVT Toolset to support its strategic goal of supplying connected mobile ecosystems with commercial 5G-powered internet of things (IoT) modules.
