Key Market Trends

Consumer Electronics and Home Appliance to Witness a Significant Market Share

  • Increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices is impacting the 8-bit microcontroller market positively. The growing demand for connected technologies is playing a vital role in the adoption of IoT.
  • Smart devices, such as wearables, smoke detectors, thermostats, and glass breakage detection systems, take excellent advantage of 8-bit MCUs' ultra-low power consumption and integrated high-performance analog features.
  • Smart thermostats widely employ 8-bit microcontrollers as a cost-effective, low-energy solution. The residential sector constitutes the major market for smart thermostat usage in smart homes. It is estimated that 10% of households, by 2025, across the world will be smart homes, according to HCL.
  • With the growing initiatives for smart homes across various countries, these devices are witnessing increased adoption, specifically, in the technologically rich, North American region.

North America to Hold the Largest Market Share

  • The North American market for 8-bit microcontrollers is expected to be driven by the innovation in various segments, such as communication, consumer devices, and automotive, over the forecast period.
  • This region is one of the leading consumers of microcontrollers, due to the strong demand for high-end equipment, across major end-user applications. For instance, the increasing popularity of electric, hybrid, and self-driven vehicles is one of the factors driving the growth of the 8-bit microcontroller market.
  • The increasing adoption of e-bicycles and moped's is anticipated to aid the market. According to IEA, in 2017, US cities partnered to mass-purchase electric vehicles (approximately over 110,000 electric vehicles) for their public transportation.
  • Smartphones, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure devices, such as meters, communications, and electric vehicles, are also the key drivers for the growth of microcontrollers in North America, especially the United States.
