COVID-19 impact

The outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis resulted in uncertainty in the stock market, disruption of the supply chain, slowdown of business, and increase in panic among customer segments. The overall impact of the pandemic impacted the production process of several industries, including semiconductor & electronics. Trade barriers further constrain the demand and supply outlook. Governments of different countries have already declared total lockdown and have temporarily shut down industries, which adversely affected the overall production process.

COVID-19 has a huge impact on end use and economy. Electronics manufacturing hubs have been temporarily shut down to restrict COVID-19 spread among individuals. This has majorly affected supply chain of the mixed signal IC market by creating shortages of components and finished goods. Lack of business continuity has negatively impacted shareholder returns and revenue, which are expected to create financial disruptions in the mixed signal IC industry.

The impact of COVID-19 on the manufacturing industry has significantly affected the global economy. Electronic components, such as PCBs, LED chips & wafers, ICs, and other semiconductor devices, are majorly imported from China. The prices of semiconductor components have increased by 2–3%, owing to shortage of supplies, due to shutdown of manufacturing units. However, with the start of 2021, the market is expected to resume its supply chain operation.

Top impacting factors

The significant factors that impact growth of the global mixed signal IC market revenue include the development of 5G technology and increase in demand for low power consumption electronics devices. High demand has been witnessed for mixed signal IC in the consumer electronics, medical & healthcare, and telecommunication industry, which notably contributes toward the market growth. However, complex process of integration of analog and digital circuits on to a single IC hampers growth of the market. On the contrary, increase in use of mixed signal ICs in the automotive and military & defense and consumer electronics industry is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for growth of the global mixed signal IC market forecast period.

Increase in adoption of 5G technology

5G technology has huge demand for the high frequency switching circuits. These switching circuits are more commonly used in mixed signal ICs. Adoption of 5G technology and other wireless technologies has increased the popularity of mixed signal ICs. At higher frequencies, losses and distortion increase. This creates the need for special techniques which is available in mixed signal ICs. Furthermore, mixed signal IC market find major applications in the consumer electronics industry, where they are deployed in mobile phones, led drivers, tablet, notebook, and other electronic devices. 

Complex integration process of mixed signal IC

The mixed signal IC industry focuses more on incorporation of multiple functionalities in a single IC leading to complex designing. Designing of a complex device requires robust methodology, skillset, and different toolset for integration. These developing innovative technologies generate demand for more functionality devices to be integrated into systems, which makes them more complex devices. In addition, incorporation of multiple circuits such as analog and digital circuits into single IC is a complex task. Therefore, all these factors collectively restrain the global mixed signal IC market growth.
