What is the future growth potential of the FPGA market?

FPGA Market in 2014 to $5.27 billion, according to Green Mountain Outlook reports, research the organization Global Market Insights, according to the latest report FPGA Market from 2015 to 2022 will appear a compound annual growth rate of 8.4%, when the scale is expected to more than $9.98 billion. 

 

The growth momentum mainly comes from the demand of different terminals, such as data processing, automobile, industrial and consumer electronics, which have the greatest influence on the market with the smart phone. In addition, the FPGA can increase of built-in RAM to perform signal processing, image enhancement of digital signal processing (DSP) functions such as efficiency, and for processing, the applications of the display panel, flat panel display panel driver, controller, operation mode, the increase in the battery management use, also is expected to promote the related requirements. 

 

The increase of these products in the proportion of medical imaging devices will also contribute to the expansion of the FPGA market scale. Another major contributor is the auto industry, which will use more and more electronic products, such as rear vision cameras, infotainment systems and electric vehicles. 

 

The telecoms industry, as the 3 g and LTE technology popularization, the demand for bandwidth increases, like Altera development integrated 11.3 Gbps transceiver FPGA can meet the next generation of frame, the media access control (MAC) and 100 Gigabit Ethernet bridge and switching applications. The FPGA market has also been promoted by service providers, which are committed to improving operational efficiency, reducing the cost of network deployment, reducing energy expenditure, and increasing the use of clean energy. 

 

Factors that may affect the requirements of the FPGA include complex design challenges such as functionality and power. However, with the increase of these products in camera, portable navigator and 3D glasses, immersive 3D TV and 3D headset application, there is a lot of potential for growth in the next seven years. 

 

In 2014, consumer electronics accounted for $650 million in FPGA revenue, and the annual composite growth rate of 2015 ~ 2022 is estimated to be 8.9%, with the main kinetic energy coming from mobile phones, tablets and MP3 players. The telecoms market is also expected to grow by 9% a year, with a 34% share in 2022. 

 

The FPGA market in the asia-pacific region was valued at more than $2 billion in 2014, mainly benefiting from the continuous growth of consumer electronics, industry and automotive sectors in India, China, Japan and South Korea. The annual compound growth rate in the European region will reach 7.7%, and the local emphasis on road safety is expected to drive regional demand. 

 

The main suppliers of the FPGA market are Xilinx, Intel, Achronix Semiconductor, Atmel and Cypress Semiconductor. Other competitors include Lattice Semiconductor, Texas instruments and Microsemi.
