An increase in data traffic and the use of IoT-connected devices
The market is expected to rise as more IoT-connected devices are used and data traffic increases. The adoption of digital IC components like magnitude comparators and priority encoders, which offer high-speed data processing, reduced power consumption, enhanced audio and video signal processing, and many other advantages, helps meet customer demands. The overall monthly mobile data traffic in India would increase from 9.4EB to 12EB in 2021, according to Ericsson's mobility research. These components will boost the demand for ICs, strengthening the outlook for the ICs sector.
Complexities in designing and programming digital ICs
Complexities in the design and programming of digital IC architectures provide a significant challenge and restrain market expansion. Chip designers struggle to create or program while preserving parameters like cheap costs, low power consumption, great performance, and optimum processing, which restricts the market's expansion. Furthermore, the production costs for semiconductor manufacturers are increased by the large requirement for a professional and trained workforce due to the high accuracy and precision necessary while making these ICs. These variables significantly hinder the expansion of the ICs market.
Growing automotive industry
The growing automotive industry is expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for market growth during the forecast period. The ICs used in various components of the vehicles including ADAS, in-vehicle networking, engine management, transmission control system and infotainment. According to the ACEA, around the world, 79.1 million motor vehicles were produced in 2021, a rise of 1.3% over 2020. Thus, the growing automotive industry is expected to offer a lucrative opportunity for market growth.
Based on the type, the global integrated circuit market is segmented into Digital IC, Analog IC and Mixed-Signal IC. The Analog IC segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. The growth in the segment is attributed to the various application of analog IC. Operational amplifiers, linear regulators, oscillators, active filters, and phase-locked loops are all designed using analog integrated circuits. Additionally, analog integrated circuits operate with time-varying signals. Analog integrated circuits require external components. They are employed in the creation of electronic circuits like as voltage comparators and amplifiers, among others. Thus, this is expected to drive the segment growth over the forecast period.
Based on the product type, the global integrated circuit market is divided into General-Purpose IC and Application-Specific IC. The Application-Specific IC segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. ASICs - Application-Specific Integrated Circuits An integrated circuit type known as an "application-specific integrated circuit" (ASIC) is created specifically for a given use or application. An ASIC can run more quickly than a programmable logic device or a conventional logic integrated circuit because it is made expressly to accomplish one thing and does it well. Additionally, it can be reduced in size and electrical usage. In addition, a wide variety of ASICs are used for things like personal digital assistants, emission control, and environmental monitoring. Thereby, driving the segmental growth over the forecast period.
