Overview:

System-on-Chip (SoC) market is projected to witness strong growth, expanding at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. The growth is mainly assisted by the increasing penetration of electronic devices across the globe. System-on-Chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that encompasses all components requisite for effective working of an electronic system. In the system-on-chip technology, all the components are mounted on a same chip and are connected internally, which reduces the overall size of the system. Thus, it comprises everything that is present in the computer’s motherboard, but consumes less space, power, and provides better operational performance.

Growing demand for energy efficient systems coupled with the increasing shift towards device miniaturization is facilitating the growth of the system-on-chip (SoC) technology that has become an alternative for larger processing units. In a world that is data driven, and with semiconductors becoming more internet driven, data storage SoCs are anticipated to witness a massive growth over the forecast period. With the growing trend towards producing all-in-one electronic products, the manufacturers, especially in the consumer electronics industry are reaping cost benefits through use of system on chip technology. Furthermore, an increase in number of smart electronic devices coincides with demand for system-on-chip since these circuits form primary components of smart electronic devices.

High demand for scalable and compact ICs in the electronic industry for applications that are loaded with ICs is another factor driving the growth of the system-on-chip market. The scalable and compact ICs provide low power consumption, reduced cost, and ease of replacement and high reliability, which plays a vital role in the electronics industry. Based on application, the consumer electronics segment is projected to witness highest growth during the forecast period. The anticipated growth will be majorly on account of the growing penetration of smart consumer electronic devices worldwide. Additionally, proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT)-based devices including smart watches, fitness bands, smart thermostats, etc. has widened the scope of the system-on-chip technology in consumer electronics. The ongoing advancements in the design of smaller sized SoCs is anticipated to offer twofold computing speed as compared to its predecessors. This is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the growth of system-on-chip market during the forecast period.
