The market for low-end field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) is expected to develop over the anticipated period because of the increased prevalence of smart technologies like artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and others. Over the anticipated term, these variables will contribute to the market's expansion.

Increasing industry 4.0 acceptance

The increasing use of cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) to enable smarter, more dependable, and more effective operations in manufacturing and other industrial settings. Many industrial systems today include cutting-edge computing engines and many types of contemporary connectivity standards, like Wi-Fi, industrial ethernet, and even 5G, as technology has advanced and the requirements on all these different pieces of equipment have increased. FPGAs, a class of semiconductor chips that may be programmed to carry out virtually any type of computing function, are especially well-suited for such demanding devices and applications. Consequently, the market is anticipated to witness growth along with the emergence of Industry 4.0.

Market Restraining Factors

Power Consumption issue

The market's expansion is hampered by high power consumption because low-end FPGAs often need a lot of electricity to operate due to their inherent programmability and complex architecture. I/O interfaces, reconfigurable logic blocks interconnect, and low-end FPGAs influence electrical consumption, especially when used with increasingly complex and large-scale systems. The high-power consumption of low-end FPGAs causes problems in several applications, especially those involving battery-operated or low-power devices.

Application Outlook

By application, the market is classified into telecommunication, automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, data centre, medical, aerospace & defense, and others. The aerospace & defense segment recorded a remarkable revenue share in the market in 2022. Developing embedded FPGAs, which offer even better integration, reliability, and low power options than conventional FPGAs, has particularly benefited the aerospace & defense industries. This development is anticipated to drive defense & aerospace segment growth during the forecast period.

Technology Outlook

Based on technology, the market is segmented into EEPROM, antifuse, SRAM, flash, and others. The EEPROM segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the market in 2022. A form of non-volatile memory known as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is capable of electrical programming and erasing. Even when the power is cut off, it continues to store data even though certain electronic gadgets use EEPROM technology to store configuration data or small quantities of data.

Node Size Outlook

On the basis of node size, the market is fragmented into less than 28 nm, 28-90 nm, and more than 90 nm. In 2022, the 28-90nm segment held the highest revenue share in the market. This is due to the power efficiency, interoperability, and cost reduction in portable devices, Internet of Things applications, and other power-restricted systems where energy economy is an essential consideration. These trends and growth factors offer substantial opportunities for low-end FPGA suppliers in the 28-90nm market.
