Overview of the fabless IC market

According to Technavio’s global semiconductor market research report, the rising penetration of ICs in the automotive sector will impel the market’s growth during the next few years. To create safer and greener automobiles offering high performance, automotive manufacturers are using customized ICs in different components including fuel injection systems, audio amplifiers, and rollover and stability control systems. With the increasing IC content in modern vehicles including commercial and premium cars, the demand for fabless ICs in the automotive sector has increased considerably in the recent years. Many OEMs are using two or three ICs in automobiles depending on the complexity of the designs. The integration of ICs into cars for audio amplifiers and other systems will further drive the demand for fabless ICs in the forthcoming years. Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the fabless IC market will grow at a CAGR close to 8% by 2022.

With the emergence of IoT, the need for interoperability among IoT devices has increased considerably in the recent years. ICs play a crucial role in achieving interoperability and supporting components linking all technologies.  As a result, vendors are developing new designs to support multiple applications on a single platform, which requires IC chips with a larger number of transistors. Furthermore, IoT requires ultralow power (ULP) processors, multiple embedded cores, and integrated wireless connectivity in a single package. According to our semiconductor industry research analysis, such increasing adoption of ICs to provide interoperability among IoT devices will be one of the major trends gaining traction in the fabless IC market during the next few years.
