Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chips Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The increasing adoption of AI chips in data centers is notably driving market growth, although factors such as complexities in understanding data may impede market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chips Market Driver
The increasing adoption of AI chips in data centers is notably driving the AI Chips Market growth. Most businesses use data centers, which have thousands of servers, to run all of their online services. These servers are all operated with the aid of a CPU chip. Companies have added additional processors to complement CPUs as the demand for AI has increased. These neural networks use extensive data analysis to aid in task learning. Data centers process a lot of data, so it is important to increase their efficiency and lower power usage to increase uptime and lower operating expenses. As a result, data center providers use AI technology for a variety of purposes including security, server optimization, energy efficiency, and infrastructure management.
AI chips that are specifically made for data center applications are being introduced by chip manufacturers to take advantage of the expanding opportunities presented by AI chips in data centers. For example, NVIDIA launched its BlueField-3 DPU, in 2021, which is specifically designed for AI and accelerated computing within data center infrastructure. Moreover, the incorporation of AI chips by a number of smartphone vendors in their products is one of the main factors contributing to the significant growth of the global market for AI chips. Hence, these factors will drive the growth of the AI chips market during the forecast period.
Significant Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chips Market Trends
Increasing investments in AI start-ups is an emerging trend influencing the growth of AI Chips Market. Since AI technology is still in its infant stage, its adoption is expanding rapidly across many industries. As a result, a number of businesses, including start-ups, are entering the market for AI chips to benefit from the rising demand for AI technology. Approximately 70%-75% of businesses are predicted to have adopted AI technology in some capacity within the next 20 years.
Furthermore, due to the enormous market potential for AI chips, major chip manufacturers and venture capitalists have been making sizeable investments in a number of start-up companies for the creation of AI platforms and chipsets. For example, Shanghai-based startup Innostar Semiconductor raised USD 100 million funding in a pre-series A round of funding in 2021. This was led by Shanghai Lianhe Investment and joined by New Alliance as well as new investors Atlas Capital and KQ Capital. The money will be used by the business to create chips for resistive RAM and storage. Hence, these factors will drive the growth of the AI chips market during the forecast period.
Major Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chips Market Challenge
Complexities in understanding data are major challenges impeding artificial intelligence chips market growth. Language, context, and reasoning are three obstacles that AI must get past in order to understand data at its best. Currently used AI technologies face challenge processing information in the same way that humans do. This is due to the fact that the majority of information is processed as data rather than as language. Since AI interprets the data as spatial text, contextual issues arise. However, natural language must be processed in the appropriate context, which can only be created when the language is actually understood rather than just being read.
To make decisions, AI technologies must process the data and arrive at the proper understanding. AI technology cannot solve complex problems without the ability to understand. This poses a significant challenge for the market because numerous AI systems must analyze enormous amounts of data that are processed continuously. The market will continue to observe limited growth unless highly efficient AI chips and systems are created to overcome the complexities involved in understanding data. Therefore, such factors will hinder the artificial intelligence chips market growth during the forecast period.

What is the Fastest-Growing Segment in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chips Market?
The market share growth by the ASICs segment will be significant during the forecast period. ASICs are specialized, non-configurable chips that are highly customized. ASICs are programmable integrated circuits (ICs) that resemble GPUs in appearance but provide an instruction set and libraries that enable the IC to operate on locally stored data and serve as an accelerator for numerous parallel algorithms. Moreover, ASICs perform faster than GPUs and FPGAs but cannot be reconfigured.

The ASICs segment was valued at USD 3,206.60 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The segment is being driven by the use of ASICs in cloud-based data centers. ASIC-based AI chips are expanding their market share as data center applications favor them over GPUs and FPGAs. When compared to GPUs, FPGAs, and CPUs, these chips deliver greater performance and speed. For instance, Google has created an ASIC for deep neural networks called the Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). TPU is a network of hardware and software that can analyze a lot of data to learn specific tasks. Applications like Google Street View and Google Search already make use of it. To effectively manage the data, many data centers are, therefore, integrating TPUs at the back end of servers. These TPUs have a set of instructions that can be used to modify TensorFlow programs and create new algorithms. Tensor Processing Units (TPU) v4 was successfully introduced by Google in May 2021. Compared to TPU v3 hardware, TPU v4 will double TPU hardware performance. On the Google cloud platform, the new version will speed up machine learning training. Microsoft and Amazon.com are also working on TPUs and are planning to implement them in their cloud offerings. Therefore, AI chips based on ASICs are expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
