Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Market Segment Insights:

Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Product Type Insights

The Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Market segmentation, based on product type, includes full custom, semi-custom, and programmable designs. The semi-custom segment held the largest market share of 48.0% in 2022 and is also anticipated to dominate the market for application-specific integrated circuits over the forecast period. The growth is attributed to its low complexity and wide scope of applications compared to other segments. The full-custom ASIC segment is expected to register considerable growth. These ICs provide faster and more reliable performance with intellectual property protection using less electrical power. Besides, the full custom ASIC allows designers to customize logic cells, mechanical structures, layouts, and circuits and optimize memory cells on an IC, which helps to decrease processing time and risks. However, due to its complex design, the manufacturing time for these application-specific integrated circuits is eight weeks for a specific application, which is more than semi-custom ASICs.

Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Industry Developments

February 2022: Researchers at MIT developed an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip that can be implemented on the Internet of Things devices to defend against power-based side-channel attacks. The team's chip is based on a particular type of computation known as threshold computing. Rather than holding a neural network operating on actual data, the data is first split into unique, random components. The network operates on the random components individually, in a random order, before accumulating the final result.

June 2021: Taiwan-based IC design houses reported that they are optimistic about their shipments for smartphone applications in the third quarter of 2021 due to the upcoming rollouts of new 5G-enabled models, particularly by Chinese brands. Most IC vendors expect their order volumes to increase by over 10% sequentially in the third quarter, and revenues of related vendors will also see significant increases as quotes for 5G chips are generally higher than those for 4G applications. The analog IC vendors also insisted that their shipment targets of 5G chips for 2021 remain unchanged as they expect global 5G phone shipments to grow exponentially in 2021 and 2022.
