An embedded processor is especially designed for embedded systems and can handle multiple processor in real time. It handles all the computational and logical operations of a computer. They are in a form of computer chips that are embedded in various microcontrollers and microprocessors to control various electrical and mechanical systems. These processors also offer features such as storing and retrieving data from the memory.
 
The microprocessor segment was the largest revenue contributor in 2019, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2021 to 2028. The embedded microprocessor systems are computer chips that find its applications under residential, industrial units, and manufacturing. For instance, embedded microprocessors are used in lightning systems, home appliances, and industrial equipment. These processors are used in signal processing, general computing, and real-time data computing. 

Microprocessors are used to control various parameters in devices and equipment such as temperature, speed, moisture, and pressure. All these factors make microprocessor a necessary component in computing devices and is expected to drive the growth of the embedded processors market globally. By application, consumer electronics is the leading largest contributor of revenue in 2019, as embedded processor is a microchip, which is used in many electronic devices such as digital watches, digital cameras, MP3 players, and other home appliances for processing the data at high speed. It helps in performing the system operations efficiently for continuous and repetitive operations.

Segment Overview

The global embedded processor market share is analyzed by type, application, and region. Based on type, the market is analyzed across microprocessor, microcontrollers, digital signal processor, embedded FPGA, and others. On the basis of application, the market is divided into consumer electronics, automotive & transportation, industrial, healthcare, IT & telecom, aerospace & defense, and others.

Region wise, the embedded processor market trends are analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). Asia-Pacific is leading the embedded processor market and is expected to be the fastest growing regional segment in the near future, with the highest CAGR. With an increase in demand for high voltage operating devices, organizations across verticals are realizing the importance of embedded processors to ensure efficient power management.

Leading embedded processor manufacturers such as NXP Semiconductors, Broadcom Corporation, STMicroelectronics, Intel Corporation, and Infineon Technologies AG are focusing their investment on technologically advanced and cost-effective products. For instance, in November 2020, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) launched new high-performance AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 Series processor. With this launch, the company aims to give a competition to its rival Intel. 

In addition, in November 2018, Renesas Electronics launched the latest version of microcontroller that will be integrated in automotive to deliver high performance operation. Such companies aim for business expansion through mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, and product launches to prevent the new entrants from capturing/entering the market.

Top Impacting Factors

Factors such as rise in space constraints in semiconductors wafers, increase in demand for smart consumer electronics, and emerging usage of embedded processors in the automotive industry boost the global embedded processor market growth. However, high implementation cost of embedded processors in different applications act as a major restraint hampering the embedded processor industry. Furthermore, increase in popularity of IoT, rise in trend toward electric vehicles, and increase in usage of embedded processors in the biomedical sectors offer lucrative opportunities for the market globally.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Global embedded processor market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The production facilities of the electronics and semiconductors have been halted, owing to the slowdown and unavailability of the workforce across the globe. COVID-19 outbreak has caused a significant and protracted drop in manufacturing utilization, and travel bans & facility closures kept workers out of their factories, which led to slowdown in the growth of the market in 2020. 

The Asian and European countries under lockdowns have suffered in major loss of business and revenue, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. The operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease; thereby, leading to slowdown in the growth of the embedded processor market in 2020.  

However, the negative impact of COVID-19 on the embedded processor market is expected to be there for a short period of time, and by early 2021 the market is anticipated to observe robust recovery rate along with the extensive demand for embedded processor in post-pandemic. For instance, the need for ventilator along with the other advanced medical equipment has rapidly increased across the world. This is anticipated to positively impact the embedded processor market as a number of embedded hardware components are used in the manufacture of advanced ventilators as well as other medical equipment such as medical robots.
