The System-on-Chip (SoC) market is expected to be worth USD 138.46 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 205.97 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2024 and 2029. Advanced driver-assistance systems form an important contributor to the growth of SoC in autonomous vehicles. The use of IIoT applications, such as predictive maintenance, asset tracking, and automated production lines, is dependent on SoCs due to real-time data processing and connectivity. Due to its widespread implementation, rapid use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies is behind a boom in the demand for system-on-chips. In addition to this, the high design and manufacturing costs will impede the pace of innovation of products and diminish their variety, which will consequently limit the growth of the entire SoC market.
Increasing focus on remote patient monitoring and telemedicine has led to a raised demand for more compact devices that consume power efficiently and could feed the same data back to the care providers. For instance, in July 2023, Ambiq (US) introduced Apollo4 Lite and Apollo4 Blue Lite SoCs to improve battery life and functionality of medical devices. These SoCs are ideal for digital health applications that include patient monitoring, digital stethoscopes, and continuous glucose and blood pressure monitoring. Adoption of SoCs in medical devices helps the patients and healthcare providers to monitor health, analyse data and prescribe proper treatment. As medical devices become more complex and feature-rich, healthcare SoCs are evolving to incorporate more advanced functionalities.
The Al-native compute platform uses the open-source Al framework and scalable hardware to provide sensing, processing and connectivity for the IoT system. SoCs at Quad Core performance with low power consumption allow the designs to balance performance with low power consumption, therefore suitable for virtually any consumer, loT, edge, or industrial application. The use of quad-core SoCs in applications is growing steadily because of the increased complexity of mobile applications and requirements for multitasking in portable devices.
These players are extensively focusing on new product development and launches to cater to high demand for global cloud service providers in the market. The North American market benefits from a supportive environment from government that promotes semiconductor industry growth. For instance, the US Department of Commerce announced investment worth USD 8.5 billion under agreement with Intel Corporation (US) for manufacturing of chips and their chain in America in March 2024. This funding will result in producing more chips, which would be manufactured locally, thereby supporting the SoC market of this region in the long run.
