Market Trends of Consumer Special Purpose Logic IC Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Consumer Special Purpose Logic IC Market according to our research experts:
Rapid Advancements in Technology is Expected to Drive the Market's Growth
- The rapid adoption of AR and VR is transforming the gaming industry, creating more opportunities for the XR market. Several companies are making rapid developments in their products and solutions to gain robust market traction. For instance, recently, the Oculus Quest VR headset improvised its VR system by adding a hand tracking feature, which may enable the VR users to use fingers to manipulate the VR worlds.
- Gaming, TVs, electronics, kiosks, medical, 3D sculpting, engineering, medical experts, designers, advertisers, and even those with physical limitations are all adopting gesture-based computing. Gesture-based gaming has grown in popularity beyond standard gaming consoles, and it is increasingly being used in instructional games for youngsters. Magic Touch Math, for example, is the first game to focus on teaching arithmetic with unique gesture drawings. As a result, gesture-based recognition can be employed in areas other than traditional gaming.
- According to a report from Snapchat, by 2025, around 75% of all the global population and almost all of the smartphone users will be frequent AR technology users, out of which more than 1.5 billion users are anticipated to be millennials. According to GSMA's Mobile Economy China 2021, China will be adding around 340 million smartphone connections by 2025, with adoption rising to 9 in 10 connections with 1.5 billion in Mainland China, 12.3 million in Hong Kong, 1.9 million in Macao, and 25.7 million in Taiwan.
- Further, according to Sony, PlayStation 4 consoles worldwide sales reached 115.68 million in June 2021. Moreover, PlayStation 2 had record sales of 157.68 million units worldwide, including over 50 million units in North America and Europe, making it the most popular video game console globally.
- OLED technology holds the promise of significantly enhanced picture quality, with the potential for innovative new consumer display presentations. It is often hailed as the future of digital displays and screens. For instance, in April 2022, LG Business Solutions has launched and installed a video "Wave Wall" with multiple curved OLED displays to form a high-definition surface at the AVI-SPL office in Dallas. The video wall features a 65-inch LG interactive digital signage board that provides wayfinding information. The continuous advancements in technology coupled with the increasing penetration of consumer electronics is likely to drive the growth of the studied market.
- According to a survey conducted by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, by 2025, the number of households having a computer is expected to increase to 1,262.47 million. Homes with at least one computer are referred to as computer households. Such huge increase in the computer adoption will create aopportunity for the market players to expand their standard logic IC product portfolio and expand their presence in different regions and increase their market share.

The Asia Pacific Region is Expected to Witness a High Market Growth
- According to National Bureau of Statistics of China, China produced approximately 32.66 million completed computers in April 2022. Furthermore, according to Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology The value of computer hardware output in India was roughly INR 215 billion in fiscal year 2020. In fiscal year 2021, this is expected to rise to INR 220 billion . The value of computer hardware produced in the country has been steadily increasing.Such huge spending on the computer production will create an opportunity for the local computer and consumer special purpose logic IC manufacturers to expand their product portfolio.
- Emerging nations, such as India, have witnessed a decline in data costs since 2013. This has increased the number of smartphone users. According to ASSOCHAM, the number of smartphone users in the country is anticipated to double from around 468 million in 2017 to 859 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 12.9%.
- Also, as of May 2021, Google announced that it is engaging closely with its partner Reliance Jio on the initiative of creating an affordable smartphone and the work is underway on the project. The company previously picked up a 7.7% stake in Jio Platforms for INR 33,737 crore in 2020 and had also entered into a commercial agreement with the Jio Platforms to jointly develop an entry-level, affordable smartphone. Product developments like these will create aopportunity for the studied market to grow and the enable the companies to expand their market share.
- Japan aims to attract overseas companies through financial incentives to secure its chip supplies and address the global shortage. Japan imports significant semiconductors from overseas and wants to build a supply chain of this technology at home. For instance, in June 2021, Japan signed off on a JPY 37-billion semiconductor research project to develop chip technology in the country with TSMC. About 20 Japanese companies, including Hitachi High-Tech Corp., will work with TSMC on the project, with the Japanese government paying just over half of the cost.
- Also, the move of the Indian government by announcing an INR 76,000 crore policy-push for semiconductor and display manufacturing is anticipated to further bolster the growth of the Asian market. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in India started receiving applications from companies to set up manufacturing fabs in India from January 2022. The boost in semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem in the Asia Pacific region is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the studied market.
