APAC is the largest geographic segment in the market. The presence of several prominent companies is boosting the market growth in this region during the forecast period. These manufacturers maintain their presence following traditional strategies. Moreover, APAC's revenue share is expected to grow faster than other geographic regions during the forecast period, owing to low labor costs, huge market potential, and flexible government policies. Developing countries such as China and India are also supporting market growth due to various factors such as the proliferation of high-tech devices, rapid digitization, and advances in consumer electronics. Moreover, the increasing use of IoT, huge government IT spending, and increasing demand for cloud-based services are likely to drive the growth of the market in this region during the forecast period.
The market is thriving with the increasing demand for smartphones, tablets, smart devices, and other electronics. Microprocessors are essential components in devices like servers, televisions, and personal computers (PC), driving market growth. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the shift towards remote work and online learning have further boosted demand for microprocessors, especially in data centers and cloud computing. Despite economic downturns, consumer spending on electronics remains strong, particularly in the x64 MPU, x86 MPU, and ARM segment, where ARM processors are gaining traction in various personal computers and embedded devices. 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.
The rising demand for smartphones and tablets is notably driving the market. The availability of affordable smartphones in emerging markets like India and China, coupled with a rise in mobile broadband subscribers and mobile Internet users, is expected to drive smartphone shipments from 1 billion units in 2013 to 2021. The introduction of tablets by local carriers in emerging markets like India and China is expected to further boost the growth of smartphones. As the number of tablets increases, there will be a higher demand for microprocessors, which will drive the market in the forecast period. This trend is also expected to impact other devices such as servers, embedded devices, smart devices, televisions, digital cameras, and laptops. Moreover, recent technological advancements have made tablets more appealing due to their improved visual experience, superior performance, higher quality, and lower costs. These advantages are expected to fuel the market across various industries globally.
The increased proliferation of IoT is a key trend influencing the market. IoT is the latest trend in technology. IoT connects all major home devices to the internet. This includes cars, TVs, laptops, coffee makers, automatic door locks, GPS-enabled pet trackers, wearable devices, and mobile phones that form a network of connected devices. High-speed wireless Internet connections such as 5G and the massive demand (and production) for Wi-Fi and GPS-enabled smartphones have also increased the demand for fast and accurate information. This drives the need for more precise microprocessors, such as digital signal processors (DSPs), that can compute and retrieve precise information within the limited timeframe available when everything is mobile.
IoT can connect billions of devices. Processing data from these devices requires more extensive use of microprocessors. Hence, the increasing adoption of IoT will increase the demand for microprocessors and drive growth during the forecast period.
The increased demand for miniaturization is challenging market growth. Due to their very small size, miniature microprocessor devices require manual or mechanical manipulation. Improvements in technology and the emergence of smaller devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology such as smartwatches have increased the demand for small digital signal processors (DSPs). Miniaturization, therefore, requires companies to constantly update their products with more advanced and compact DSPs to meet consumer demands. This forces market companies to invest heavily in procuring expensive equipment to create intelligent and smart systems.
companies also need to increase their budgets to create these intelligent systems. Rapid advances in technology are forcing market players to invest more in manufacturing intelligent systems, which can lead to lower profitability. Such factors will adversely affect the growth during the forecast period.
