It provides forecasts for the FPGA sales revenue, major FPGA facilities and the emerging markets till 2020. The research also provides the business viability in different geographic regions. The report provides analysis of the key trends and challenges in the FPGA market across the world. An analysis of the competitive scenario in different countries is also provided. The report is built using the data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by a team of industry experts.
Reduced Time to Market Will Prove to be the Key Growth Driver for the FPGA Market
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) across the globe are increasingly opting for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) instead of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) in order to reduce the time to market. FPGAs offer flexibility and facilitate rapid prototyping. FPGAs also offer an advantage of testing and verifying a concept in hardware without passing through the long fabrication process. Engineers can then make changes and can run number of iterations on an FPGA circuit within hours, rather than in weeks.
As design requirements often change over a period of time, the cost of implementing these incremental changes to FPGAs are almost negligible as compared to the large expense associated with other ICs, such as ASICs. The impact of this driver is expected to be high in the short term period, until 2014. The graph below explains how missing the market window will wipe out all the profits from development and production:
FPGA vs. ASICs, Profit Potential, 2009
As illustrated above, the profit potential will be comparatively high with an early product launch. Prolonging the time to market will result in reduced profitability.
