The Global Microcontroller Units Market size is projected to grow from a value of $27.5 billion in 2018 to $42.6 billion by 2028, representing an annual growth rate of 5.8%. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increased use of microcontrollers in automobiles, industrial equipment, medical devices, and consumer electronics products. North America will account for the largest share of the overall market during the forecast period due to strong demand from automotive and industrial applications in this region.
Microcontroller Units (MCUs) are computer systems on a single integrated circuit. They typically use very small amounts of power and often have built-in memory so can be used without needing any additional circuitry to store program instructions or data.
Microcontroller Units (MCU) is the brain of a computing device. It can be used to control and monitor devices ranging from simple gadgets like remote controls, clocks, alarm systems, or thermostats up to more complex products such as cars or home appliances. The MCU market has been increasing with time due to its development in various areas across different sectors.
On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into 16-bit Microcontroller Units (MCUs), 32-bit Microcontroller, and others.
16-bit MCUs are computers that can be programmed and configured to perform various tasks. They offer a powerful processing capability for applications with high data throughput such as digital signal processors, video codecs, graphics rendering units, embedded control panels, or programmable logic controllers.
It is the most powerful of all and offers a wide range of computational power in ultra-low power. It has been designed to enable manufacturers to produce complex systems with increasingly better performance while using less energy than ever before. The 32-bit MCU provides greater efficiency by enabling designers to go beyond the constraints imposed on them with 16- or even lesser-bit architectures. At this point, it’s possible for customers across many industries (namely automotive) that need high levels of computation without sacrificing battery life to use these devices as a way forward.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented t is categorized into Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Industrial, Medical Devices, and Military & Defense.
The automotive industry represents 35% of the total MCU market by 2028 end. This sector gives rise to a demand for more powerful microcontrollers that offer improved performance while reducing power consumption levels. In this light, 32-bit microcontroller units are worth considering as they can provide greater efficiency with higher computing power than 16- or even lesser-bit architectures without sacrificing battery life in any way. The architecture also enables customers across many industries (namely automotive) who need high levels of computation without compromising on battery life to use these devices as a point forward product option.
The consumer electronics sector accounts for 24% of the total MCU market by 2028. This industry is put at risk due to strict requirements on safety and reliability standards, in addition to a high requirement for precision as well. The demand from this industry leans towards MCUs with higher levels of processing capabilities or when low power consumption becomes necessary. Hence, an increasing number of devices are powered by 32-bit microcontrollers that provide better performance while consuming less energy than their counterparts – 16-bit or even lesser bit architectures.
The industry represents 14% of the total MCU market share during 2018. In order to maintain a competitive advantage over other manufacturers, many industrial customers opt for more expensive yet powerful solutions. The MCUs used in this industry segment are typically based on the 32-bit architecture, which provides better performance while consuming less energy than their counterparts – 16-bit or even lesser bit architectures.
The medical devices industry is comprised of a number of end-user sectors, such as healthcare providers and hospitals. The MCU market share for this sector in 2018 was 17%. Medical device manufacturers are constantly looking to optimize their products by reducing costs and improving performance, which explains the trend towards 32-bit architectures among these entities.
Despite being a small segment that comprises only about 0.02% during 2018, the military & defense industry has seen significant growth over recent years due to increased spending on hardware development worldwide. This area typically opts for higher-cost solutions with more powerful features, hence leading many customers toward expensive yet powerful microcontrollers – usually based on the 32-bit architecture.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. In 2017, North America contributed a major share in terms of revenue largely owing to technological advancements and innovations such as cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and machine learning. North America was followed by Europe which accounted for around 12% The European market is anticipated to witness stagnant growth rates over the forecast timeframe primarily because of stringent government regulations on outsourcing operations from developed countries like the U.S., India, etc. towards developing nations including Russia, China, and Brazil.
