SAN JOSE, USA: Present day electronic devices require chips that occupy a small footprint, consume less power, and provide high-speed capabilities. In recent times SoC has emerged as the answer to all these requirements. SoC are of two major product types - SoCs Based on Standard Cell, and SoCs Based on Embedded IP.

They are primarily used in computers, communication equipment, consumer electronic devices, and automotive applications. New end-use applications, which include mobile phones, and automotives, are driving market growth. 3D SoC and 90nm technologies are emerging as the leading SoC technologies owing to growth in respective end-use industries.

United States represents the world's largest SoC market, worth an estimated US$10.4 billion in 2007, as stated in a recent report published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Asia (excluding Japan) and Europe are the second and third largest markets respectively. The three regions collectively account for about 80 percent of the global system-on-a-chip market.

The global and regional markets are expected to grow at CAGRs ranging between 20 percent and 35 percent through 2010. Market for SoCs based on Embedded IP is likely to grow at a CAGR of 29 percent for the period 2006-2010, while standard cell based SoCs market is projected to expand at 21 percent. On the end-use front, consumer electronic devices offer the highest growth opportunity with a CAGR of 31 percent between 2006-2010, followed by automotive applications at 30 percent.

The global market is highly competitive with several companies in the fray. Players offering integrated solutions, coupled with faster lead times and lower costs, would gain market share.

Market participants include Actel Corp, Altera Corp, ARC International, ARM Holdings, Broadcom Corp, Core Logic, Freescale Semiconductor, GCT Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, Intel Corp, LSI Corp, Marvell, Matsushita Electric, Mentor Graphics, NEC Electronics, NVIDIA Corporation, Palmchip Corp, Provigent Inc, Renesas Technology Corp, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronic, Synopsis, Taiwan Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Toshiba America Electronics, Xilinx Inc, Zilog Inc, Ziptronix Inc and others.
