  • Gaming, TVs, electronics, kiosks, medical, 3D sculpting, engineering, medical experts, designers, advertisers, and even those with physical limitations are all adopting gesture-based computing. Gesture-based gaming has grown in popularity beyond standard gaming consoles, and it is increasingly being used in instructional games for youngsters. Magic Touch Math, for example, is the first game to focus on teaching arithmetic with unique gesture drawings. As a result, gesture-based recognition can be employed in areas other than traditional gaming.​
  • According to a report from Snapchat, by 2025, around 75% of all the global population and almost all of the smartphone users will be frequent AR technology users, out of which more than 1.5 billion users are anticipated to be millennials. According to GSMA’s Mobile Economy China 2021, China will be adding around 340 million smartphone connections by 2025, with adoption rising to 9 in 10 connections with 1.5 billion in Mainland China, 12.3 million in Hong Kong, 1.9 million in Macao, and 25.7 million in Taiwan.
  • Further, according to Sony, PlayStation 4 consoles worldwide sales reached 115.68 million in June 2021. Moreover, PlayStation 2 had record sales of 157.68 million units worldwide, including over 50 million units in North America and Europe, making it the most popular video game console globally.
  • OLED technology holds the promise of significantly enhanced picture quality, with the potential for innovative new consumer display presentations. It is often hailed as the future of digital displays and screens. For instance, in April 2022, LG Business Solutions has launched and installed a video "Wave Wall" with multiple curved OLED displays to form a high-definition surface at the AVI-SPL office in Dallas. The video wall features a 65-inch LG interactive digital signage board that provides wayfinding information. The continuous advancements in technology coupled with the increasing penetration of consumer electronics is likely to drive the growth of the studied market.
  • According to a survey conducted by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, by 2025, the number of households having a computer is expected to increase to 1,262.47 million. Homes with at least one computer are referred to as computer households. Such huge increase in the computer adoption will create aopportunity for the market players to expand their standard logic IC product portfolio and expand their presence in different regions and increase their market share.
The Asia Pacific Region is Expected to Witness a High Market Growth
  • According to National Bureau of Statistics of China, China produced approximately 32.66 million completed computers in April 2022. Furthermore, according to Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology The value of computer hardware output in India was roughly INR 215 billion in fiscal year 2020. In fiscal year 2021, this is expected to rise to INR 220 billion . The value of computer hardware produced in the country has been steadily increasing.Such huge spending on the computer production will create an opportunity for the local computer and consumer special purpose logic IC manufacturers to expand their product portfolio.
