COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 crisis resulted in uncertainty in the stock market, immense slowdown of the supply chain, lowered business confidence, and increased panic among the customer segments. The overall impact of the pandemic impacted the production process of several industries, including semiconductor & electronics and many more. Trade barriers further constrain the demand and supply outlook. Governments of different countries have already declared total lockdown and temporarily shut down industries, which adversely affected the overall production process.
COVID-19 has a huge impact on the end use and the economy. Electronics manufacturing hubs have been temporarily shut down to restrict the COVID-19 spread among individuals. This has majorly affected the supply chain of the single board computer industry by creating shortages of components and finished goods. Lack of business continuity has ensured significant negative impacts on shareholder returns and revenue, which are expected to create financial disruptions in the single board computer market.
The impact of COVID-19 on the manufacturing industry has significantly affected the global economy. Electronic components, such as PCBs, LED chips & wafers, ICs, and other semiconductor devices, are mostly imported from China. The prices of semiconductor components have increased by 2-3%, owing to shortage of supplies due to the shutdown of manufacturing units. However, by the end of 2020, the single board computer industry is expected to resume its supply chain operation.
Top Impacting Factors
The significant factors that impact the growth of the global single board computer market include advantages of single board computers over the conventional ones. There is a high demand for single board computer in the aerospace & defense industry and rugged embedded computers, owing to the design constraints and all the necessary components to be integrated on a single board. However, the complex process of integration of multiple components on to a single board hampers the growth of the market. Furthermore, increase in use of single board computers in healthcare and consumer electronics equipment is estimated to provide lucrative opportunities for the single board computer market growth during the forecast period.
Rise in Need For Industrial Automation
Single board computers have major applications in industrial automation, where they are majorly used across process control and discrete manufacturing on the production facility. Industrial automation uses control systems, including robots and Internet of Things (IoT) to handle various machineries and processes. These robots and IoT technology are based on single board computers to offer high accuracy, precision, and enhanced performance of manufacturing processes.
Complex Integration Process of Advanced Electronics Devices
The single board computer market focuses more on the incorporation of multiple functionalities in a single board, which leads to complex designing. Designing of a complex device requires robust methodology, skillset, and different toolset for integration, adding up to extra cost. These new developing innovative technologies generate the demand for more functionality devices to be integrated into systems, which make them more complex devices. In addition, incorporation of multiple components into single devices is a complex task due to operating modes, different functionalities, and operating voltages. Therefore, this factor restraints the market growth.
