Global Embedded FPGA Market

The global embedded FPGA market was valued at $73.2 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $310.3 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2022 to 2031.

Embedded field programmable gate array (eFPGA) is an IP block that allows a complete FPGA to be incorporated into any integrated circuit. In other words, an embedded FPGA is a digitally reconfigurable assembly consisting of programmable logic in a programmable interconnect, typically behaving as a rectangular array with data inputs and outputs located around the edges. Embedded FPGAs typically have hundreds or thousands of inputs and outputs that can be connected to buses, data paths, control paths, GPIOs, PHYs or any other device. The solutions implemented in embedded FPGA are faster and less power consuming, which makes them simpler and cheaper than FPGA. An FPGA embedded processor uses a considerable amount of silicon area and maximum metal layers in a process. Unlike the design process for standalone FPGAs, embedded FPGA designers can select the exact amount of logic, DSF, and memory resources required for their customers' applications. The technology involving global embedded FPGA industry is very generic because its support spans from very small occasions to very large occasions for numerous applications.  An embedded FPGA, which works like an off-the-shelf FPGA chip, can distribute arrays of any size in a matter of days. As per the major semiconductor chip manufacturing companies, a vast majority of chips that will tape out in the next few years will have some degree of embedded FPGA content. The fast-moving standards and unique AI algorithms will eventually trigger the development of embedded FPGA in the near future. Factors, such as low power requirement and reduced system cost drive the demand for embedded FPGA. 

The Corona virus that is claimed to be originated from part of China rapidly spread across the globe, which ultimately resulted in global crisis. The pandemic due to COVID-19 outbreak has created prevalent concern and economic adversity for all constituents of the value chain, including businesses and customers all over the globe. Complete lockdown was imposed upon by the governmental bodies in order to control the spread of the disease and this totally disrupted the production units and the supply chains across the world, especially in case of the raw materials involving sectors like electronics, automotive and many more. Thus, the embedded FPGA market, being a part of the semiconductor industry also suffered the production loss and halt in supply chain which eventually hindered the market growth in 2020. However, post covid the scenario started to change a bit as things were coming back to track. Due to the promotion of the work or study from home concepts by several corporate and educational organizations, the use of electronics and semiconductor equipments increased rapidly which resulted in the growth of the embedded FPGA market. Again, certain developments by the market key players such as acquisition, collaboration, partnerships and new product launches also act as a lucrative opportunity for the market to grow after the wrath of the pandemic.

As per the global embedded FPGA market analysis, the market is segmented into Technology and Application.

On the basis of technology, the market is divided into EEPROM, antifuse, SRAM, flash and others. The SRAM segment dominated the market, in terms of revenue, in 2021, and is expected to follow the same trend during the forecast period.

Based on application, the market is bifurcated into data processing, consumer electronics, automotive, industrial, military & aerospace, telecom and others. The telecom segment acquired the largest global embedded FPGA market share in 2021.

Region-wise, the embedded FPGA market trends are analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France and the rest of the Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India and the rest of the Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa). Asia-Pacific, specifically the China, remains a significant participant in the global Embedded FPGA industry. Major organizations and government institutions in the country are intensely putting resources into the technology. 

Moreover, the global embedded FPGA market opportunity factors include the adoption of embedded field programmable gate array (FPGA) in high-end applications. However, designing complexities is projected to hamper the market growth. Another factor driving the growth of the embedded FPGA market is enterprises that want to control their supply chain. They may have their own MCUs or ASSPs around which they have built software stacks. So, by adding some level of embedded FPGA re-configurability, they can swap security algorithms or proprietary code. The embedded FPGA IPs are available from several suppliers, and while these IPs are comparatively more integrative, the density of FPGA is starting to make sense for certain applications. The other factor that has shifted the pendulum in favour of global embedded FPGA market forecast  is the move toward smaller process nodes.

The notable factors positively affecting the global embedded FPGA market outlook include low power requirement and reduced system cost along with the increase in demand for embedded FPGA technology verticals and market players. However, design complexities regarding architecture and implementations is anticipated to hinder the market growth. Moreover, increase in adoption toward high-end applications and strategic decisions by key players offer lucrative global embedded FPGA market opportunity factors for the global embedded FPGA market growth during the forecast period.
