Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Market Dynamics
Rising Demand for Integrated Circuits in Automotive
The rapid growth of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in the domestic and international markets, as well as the increasing need for analogue chips used in automotive electronics, are driving the global ASIC market upward.
The growth of the automotive sector is increasing the demand for integrated circuits, encouraging IC makers to expand their production facilities and build innovative solutions.
Rise in Demand for Communication Devices
The emergence of numerous technologies, such as smartphones, tablets and various cloud-based applications, has fueled a constant increase in demand for quicker and more pervasive personal mobile communication systems in recent years. As a result, a growing number of wireless base stations (BTS) have been introduced, serving as connection points between mobile terminals and the main wired network.
As expenditures in 5G increase, so does the number of 5G base stations. The increasing 5G penetration and demand for communication devices are likely to drive the growth of global application-specific integrated circuit market.
High Production Costs and Complex Design
ASIC design and production have high upfront expenses, which include design verification, prototype and fabrication. The costs of developing ASICs can be significant, especially for sophisticated designs or low-volume production. These high costs serve as a barrier to entry for smaller enterprises or startups that may lack the financial means to engage in ASIC development, hence limiting market competition.
The complexity of ASIC design is increasing as applications demand increasingly advanced functionalities and integration. Designing ASICs that have higher transistor density, advanced structures and power management capabilities is difficult. The design process necessitates specialised skills, expertise and tools, which might be an obstacle for businesses without these resources. Complex designs can increase the likelihood of faults or design problems, which can result in costly re-spins or delays.
Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Market Segment Analysis
The global application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market is segmented based on type, application, end-user and region.
Increasing Penetration of Consumer Electronics
The consumer electronics will account for around 20.2% of the global application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market during the forecast period. With increasing demand for innovative consumer electronics and widespread acceptance of smartphones in the entertainment and gaming sectors, the industry is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period.
The 5G technology is predicted to be one of the primary drivers allowing OEMs to increase their market presence and so stimulate growth in the future. According to an Ericsson analysis, global 5G subscriptions are predicted to reach 3.5 billion by 2026, with global demand and investment in technology and infrastructure expected to increase as well.
Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Market Geographical Share
Price Drop and Growing Demand for Smartphones in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific has witnessed significant growth and popularity covering more than 1/3rd share of global application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market . Two main factors driving consumer electronics market growth are the increasing number of low-cost smartphone devices and lowering service plan costs. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2021, China would have approximately 116 mobile phone subscriptions per one hundred citizens.
Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Market Companies
The major global players include Alle Rechten Veerbehouden, Honeywell International Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, Intel Corporation, Marvell, Maxim Integrated, Omnivision, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Renesas Electronics Corporation and STMicroelectronics.
COVID Impact
ASIC production involves complex processes that necessitate the use of specialised facilities and equipment. Many semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs) have been required to temporarily close or operate at reduced capacity in order to comply with safety rules and protect their personnel. Manufacturing slowdowns have resulted in ASIC production delays and longer lead times for clients.
The increasing demand for chips during the pandemic, as well as the previous two years' rigorous attempts to develop a self-sufficient semiconductor sector in the face of U.S. crackdown, contributed to the sector's growth. U.S. tightened semiconductor export restrictions on Chinese technological behemoths like Huawei, which have stringent standards for suppliers and partners, allow local firms who previously could not qualify as suppliers an opportunity to become important players in the 5G industry.
