IoT, 임베디드, 모바일 프로세서 : 광범위한 혁신을 가능하게 하는 핵심 기술

Inside this Report

Processors are the bedrock of computing innovation and have been the leading force behind rapid advances in edge AI, workload optimization, and operational system capabilities. This report analyzes the global market for merchant microprocessor units/central processing units (MPUs/CPUs), microcontrollers (MCUs), field- programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and system-on-chips (SoCs) used in IoT, embedded and mobile systems. In addition to extensive market sizing, segmentations, and forecasting, this research also investigates the current requirements, preferences, dependencies, and areas of investment for hardware engineers, software developers, and others at OEMs, integrators, and other engineering organizations.

Report Excerpt

What Questions are Addressed?

• How is insatiable demand for hardware acceleration shaping the market opportunities for different processor types, architectures, and footprints?
• Which industry segments are expected to grow the fastest in the embedded processor market through 2028?
• Who are the leading suppliers of embedded MPUs/CPUs, MCUs, DSPs, FPGAs, SoCs and Mobile SoCs?
• How have leading embedded processor suppliers evolved their product portfolios, software development environments/platforms, and services to align with market needs?
• What does the current architectural landscape look like among processor suppliers?
• Where is the largest growth opportunity for different embedded processor types?
• What do different communities of embedded engineers and developers working at organizations of various sizes and origins expect of embedded processor suppliers?

Key Findings

• The global market for IoT, embedded and mobile processors has flourished over recent years and, despite a turbulent 2024, is expected to regain a steady growth trajectory through 2028.
• With supply and component shortages now largely overcome, some leading suppliers are now contending with large fluctuations in oversupply of existing SKUs and product inventory against current demand in some industries.
• The rapid advancement of AI and machine learning still has significant runway remaining within the embedded processor market for new design wins and retrofits/updates.
• Geopolitical issues are hampering some embedded processor technology access across borders but are also fueling dramatic R&D investments across several leading countries in the market.
• Distributors/resellers and embedded motherboard, modules, and integrated system/server vendors are critical channels to market for aligning with the evolving preferences of processor end users.
• VDC's survey of embedded engineers and developers found that the amount of computation taking place at the far edge (i.e., endpoint sensors, machinery/equipment) is considerably higher for organizations in A&D, automotive, and industrial automation than others, which have more processing taking place in edge gateways and near-edge infrastructure.
