The system on module market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to 5G integration and connectivity, rise of edge computing, increased demand for AI and machine learning integration, expansion of IoT (internet of things) ecosystem, growing focus on cybersecurity in embedded systems. Major trends in the forecast period include customization and configurability, integration of AI accelerators, focus on power efficiency, shift towards RISC-V architecture, and enhanced security features.
The growing deployment of industrial robots is anticipated to drive growth in the system on module market. Industrial robots are mechanical machines programmed to perform industrial tasks and incorporate embedded systems built using system on module assemblies. For example, in September 2023, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported that global industrial robot installations reached 553,052 in 2022, reflecting a 5% year-on-year increase. The market is expected to grow by 7% in 2023, exceeding 590,000 units worldwide. Consequently, the rise in industrial robot deployment is fueling demand in the system on module market.
The increasing adoption of cloud-based applications is anticipated to propel the system-on-module market in the foreseeable future. Cloud-based applications, denoting software accessed and utilized over the internet, leverage system-on-modules due to their modular and standardized design. This facilitates seamless integration with cloud-based applications, streamlining development processes, enhancing scalability, and improving overall efficiency and reliability of interconnected systems. For instance, a January 2023 survey by Google Cloud Platform, a US-based provider of modular cloud services, revealed that 41.4% of 1,900 executives increased their use of cloud-based services, and 33.4% are planning to transition from enterprise software to cloud-based tools in 2022. Hence, the growing utilization of cloud-based applications is a significant driver for the expansion of the system-on-module market.
Technological advancement stands out as a prominent trend in the system-on-module market, with major companies introducing innovative solutions to maintain their market positions. An example of this is iWave Systems, an India-based software company, which unveiled the iW-Rainbow-G46M solderable system-on-module in April 2022. This new module is built on NXP i.MX 8XLite application processor technology and serves as a foundational component for small connectivity devices.
Major players in the system-on-module market are actively pursuing partnerships to enhance their market presence and profitability. These collaborations involve various entities within the technology ecosystem. For instance, in March 2023, Toradex, a Switzerland-based embedded computing products provider, partnered with Texas Instruments Inc., a US-based semiconductor manufacturing company, to launch Verdin AM62. This system-on-module, powered by the TI Sitara AM62x processor, boasts four robust 64-bit Armv8 Cortex-A53 cores tailored for industrial automation. Its pin-compatible design allows for enhanced scalability, while integrated features such as Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, device monitoring, and remote access with Torizon cater to diverse applications. The module excels in Graphical Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) with hardware-accelerated graphics and multiple display interfaces. The Easy Installer ensures seamless OS installation with one click, and collaborative efforts with partners contribute to an enhanced overall customer experience.
In December 2022, Laird Connectivity LLC, a US-based wireless module provider, acquired Boundary Devices for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move reinforces Laird Connectivity's System-on-Module (SOM) portfolio, providing customers with a comprehensive range of SOM and Single Board Computer (SBC) products that simplify wireless connectivity. Boundary Devices, a US-based company specializing in ARM-based System-on-Modules and Single Board Computers, adds valuable expertise to Laird Connectivity's offerings through this acquisition.
