System on Module

Market Highlights

The global System on Module Market market is estimated to register a CAGR of over 8.4% to reach USD 6.0 billion by the end of 2032.

Advanced robotics comprising compact & highly powerful embedded systems are in high demand. Thus, the adoption of Industry 4.0 and the growing demand for advanced robotics is expected to enhance the market's growth in the coming future. However, system complexity in x86-based modules of SoM is hampering the growth of the System on Module Market.

The shift from developing processors for desktop computers, cell phones, and tablets to embedded, application-specific processors to achieve optimum performance has resulted in costly development programs. The increasing miniaturization of the system on module has resulted in optimum space and functionality, which is key requirements in portable and wireless devices. System on modules work on low power and offer balanced performance and, therefore, can be used in multiple handheld and portable devices. This allows developers to choose the platform best suited to their application needs. Developers can write application software on the same hardware that will be used in their final product. Thus, the surge in the demand for portable and wireless devices is expected to drive the growth of the global system on module market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Various components are essential in assembling semiconductor devices. However, the global pandemic has induced a steep decline in the demand for the components, especially in economies with complete lockdowns. Moreover, the ongoing trade war between the US and China has already disturbed the US tech industry, which has been further triggered by the novel coronavirus outbreak. All the chip manufacturers and other component providers are mostly affected by restrictions on the import and export of components. Additionally, for chipmakers, the impact is severe due to labor shortages, testing plants in China, and several packages. This has created a challenging environment for various chip-making companies. Various small and medium-sized chip manufacturers face the problem of being unable to get sufficient production capacity from package suppliers. If this production holds up and continues for an extended period, these chip companies may face bankruptcy or acquisitions. However, as many economies are expected to resume economic activities by June, the demand for semiconductor components is expected to gradually resume the average growth rate by the end of 2020 or early 2021.
