Global Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Field programmable gate array architecture (FPGA) is a semiconductor device that is built around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) linked via programmable interconnects. FPGA is an integrated circuit that can be programmed later in the field after manufacture. Field programmable logic array is similar to programmable read-only memory (PROM), but with better potential. The greatest advantage of this chip is that it can be programmed and re-programmed if there is a necessity for upgrading.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) market finds that the global Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) market reached a value of USD 7077.98 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 11325.78 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.15% during the forecast period.

FPGA Market Growth in Healthcare Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic has aided the FPGA market growth in the healthcare industry. The increased demand for high-performance detection devices in hospitals has encouraged developers to create infection detection systems based on FPGA. For instance, ALDEC created a COVID-19 lung infection detecting system. This device incorporates a field-programmable gate array that works with the TySOM embedded control board. The ongoing R&D and innovations in the healthcare sector will support the market expansion in the coming years.

Supply chain issues

The field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are widely used in the field of network processing, security, and deep packet inspection. FPGAs are suitable for telecom applications as they can be used for diverse applications such as in baseband, radio transmission, optical transport network, network infrastructure, and network processing. FPGAs also support features such as hardware and software acceleration, re-programmability, and parallel processing. Due to Covid-19, the semiconductors industry has witnessed major disruptions in production and supply chain management, making it difficult for manufacturers and suppliers to maintain a demand-supply equilibrium. The COVID-19 outbreak has created widespread anxiety and economic hardship for all components of the value chain, including businesses and customers across the world.

Threat of New Entrants

Profitable industries that yield high returns will attract new firms. New entrants eventually will decrease profitability for other firms in the industry. Unless the entry of new firms can be made more difficult by incumbents, abnormal profitability will fall towards zero (perfect competition), which is the minimum level of profitability required to keep an industry in business.

A company's power is also affected by the force of new entrants into its market. The less time and money it costs for a competitor to enter a company's market and be an effective competitor, the more a company's position may be significantly weakened. An industry with strong barriers to entry is an attractive feature for companies that would prefer to operate in a space with fewer competitors.

Threat of Substitutes

Competitor substitutes that can be used in place of a company's products or services pose a threat. For example, if customers rely on a company to provide a tool or service that can be substituted with another tool or service or by performing the task manually, and if this substitution is fairly easy and of low cost, a company's power can be weakened.

Competition in the industry is fierce

For most industries the intensity of competitive rivalry is the major determinant of the competitiveness of the industry. Having an understanding of industry rivals is vital to successfully market a product. Positioning pertains to how the public perceives a product and distinguishes it from competitors. A business must be aware of its competitors marketing strategy and pricing and also be reactive to any changes made. The FPGA industry is facing a fierce competitive position. Many companies have been doing business in this industry. They pay more attention to R&D, product innovation, channel construction and customer relationship management, trying to gain greater market share and competitive advantage.

Region Overview:

In global comparison, a significant portion of the revenue was generated in North America (35.39% in 2022).

Company Overview:

Xilinx is one of the major players operating in the Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) market, holding a share of 50.7% in 2022.

Xilinx

Xilinx is the inventor of the FPGA, programmable SoCs, and now, the ACAP. Xilinx, Inc. is an American technology company that is primarily a supplier of programmable logic devices. The company invented the field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It is the semiconductor company that created the first fabless manufacturing model. AMD announced its acquisition of Xilinx in October 2020.

Intel (Altera)

Intel Corporation is an American multinational corporation and technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, in Silicon Valley. Intel supplies microprocessors for computer system manufacturers such as Lenovo, HP, and Dell. Intel also manufactures motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memory, graphics chips, embedded processors and other devices related to communications and computing.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, SRAM segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022

SRAM

SRAM programming involves a small static RAM bit for each programming element. Writing the bit with a zero turns off a switch, while writing with a one turns on a switch. Another method involves an antifuse that consists of a microscopic structure that, unlike a regular fuse, normally makes no connection. A large amount of current during programming of the device causes the two sides of the antifuse to connect. A third and relatively new method uses flash EPROM bits for each programming element.

EEPROM

The Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM)-based FPGAs are likely to witness sluggish growth over the forecast period owing to rapid increase in usage of newer technologies such as SRAM and Flash. The slow growth over the next few years could be attributed to unceasing improvements in the new technologies, which are nonvolatile in nature, more flexible with respect to application requirements, and less power consuming.

Antifuse

The advantages of antifuse FPGAs are that they are non-volatile and the delays due to routing are very small, so they tend to be faster. Antifuse FPGAs tend to require lower power and they are better for keeping your design information out of the hands of competitors because they do not require an external device to program them upon power-up as SRAM devices do. The disadvantages are that they require a complex fabrication process, they require an external programmer to program them, and once they are programmed, they cannot be changed.

Flash

Flash FPGAs are nonvolatile like antifuse FPGAs, yet reprogrammable like SRAM FPGAs. They use a standard fabrication process like SRAM FPGAs and they are lower power and secure like antifuse FPGAs. They are also relatively fast.

Application Overview:
