Low-End FPGA Market Expected to Reach $5.8 Billion by 2032—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Low-End FPGA Market," The low-end fpga market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $5.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2023 to 2032.

FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array. It is a chip that can be programed to do specific functions. This distinguishes it from a microcontroller, which can only execute one program at a time. Low-cost FPGAs are found in mobile phones and other handheld electronics. They are also deployed in several industrial applications such as machine vision and automated testing. They are also found in high-end gadgets such as supercomputers and gaming consoles.

The market for low-end FPGA industry is driven by the increasing demand for energy efficiency. Low-end FPGAs offer an attractive solution as they are designed to deliver excellent performance while consuming less energy. Low-end FPGAs, when compared to standard processors or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), enable power-conscious design choices such as selectively activating only the appropriate logic blocks, which can result in significant energy savings. This level of energy economy is especially important in portable devices, data centers, and green computing projects. Companies can accomplish their energy-saving targets while still benefiting from the programmability and flexibility of FPGAs by using low-cost FPGAs. For example, in a smart agricultural application, low-end FPGAs can be used to directly perform sensor integration, data processing, and decision-making algorithms. By leveraging the power efficiency of low-end FPGAs, IoT devices may function for extended periods of time without the need for regular battery replacements or a constant power source, lowering energy consumption and improving overall system sustainability.

Meanwhile, limited processing power hinders the expansion of the low-end FPGA market growth. Low-end FPGAs often have less logic capacity and processing power than high-end FPGAs or specialized ASICs, making them unsuitable for applications requiring significant computational capabilities or high-speed processing. Because of the limited processing capacity, execution times may be slower or the inability to handle complex algorithms or big data sets efficiently. Certain sectors and applications, such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, or data-intensive operations, may necessitate the better processing capabilities provided by high-end FPGAs or specialized ASICs, rendering low-end FPGAs unsuitable for these demanding circumstances. For instance, real-time video processing often requires a large amount of CPU capacity to handle tasks such as video encoding, decoding, image recognition, and object tracking. Low-end FPGAs' limited processing capabilities may cause difficulties in satisfying the demanding needs of real-time video processing, which often involves managing massive volumes of data and running sophisticated algorithms in a time-constrained way. In such cases, high-end FPGAs or dedicated video processing solutions may be preferred to achieve the desired performance and real-time responsiveness.

However, the rise in the adoption of industrial automation and robotics in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare creates a substantial opportunity for the low-end FPGA market. Low-end FPGA market trends can play an important role in providing real-time control, motion control, sensor integration, and communication interfaces in industrial automation systems and robotics as industries are rapidly adopting automation technologies to boost efficiency and production. These FPGAs offer flexibility, reconfigurability, and the ability to handle complicated control algorithms, making them suited for a wide range of industrial applications. With continued improvements in robotics and the demand for intelligent automation solutions, low-end FPGAs are positioned to contribute to the creation of more efficient and sophisticated industrial systems.
