Automotive semiconductors show doubled growth, chip makers compete for market territory
Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: Investor's Business Daily reported that although automotive semiconductors account for only 10% of the global semiconductor market, according to research firm Gartner, by 2020, automotive semiconductor revenue will be overall The chip market is growing at twice the speed, and the strength is strong. It is no wonder that various semiconductor companies regard it as an important battlefield.
Malcolm Penn, CEO of Future Horizons, a UK semiconductor market research organization, said that although the automotive semiconductor market is hot, it is also a very serious market segment. The car manufacturers hope to achieve the highest performance products at the lowest cost, to enter this market or increase market share. Both are quite time consuming, so some chip makers will increase their competitiveness through mergers and acquisitions.
Research analyst Strategy AnalyTIcs Chris Webber pointed out that the real growth momentum of automotive semiconductors at this stage is from the market demand for ADAS. Although the development of self-driving vehicles is also helpful, the distance allows the car to truly drive on the highway. Or on the city streets, there is still a long road to evolution.
According to John Pitzer, an analyst at Credit Suisse, the current automotive-powered semiconductors are roughly $1,000 for luxury cars, $350 to $400 for mid-priced cars, and $100 for low-end cars. This difference will disappear after the functions such as ADAS become standard equipment, and the new car models will be equipped with more new designs.
According to Gartner, the market size of automotive semiconductors will grow by 6.2% to $34.3 billion in 2017, and is expected to grow by 7.2% to $36.8 billion in 2018. Optimistic about the prospects of this market, the semiconductor industry has also launched a layout, for example, after NXP purchased $11.8 billion in Freescale in 2015 and expanded significantly in the market share of automotive semiconductors, Qualcomm It also announced in October 2016 that it would purchase NXP for $47 billion.
For the industry, the auto market is not as fast as consumer electronics can continue to push for new sales. For example, in 2016, global smartphones sold as much as 1.5 billion units, and car sales only slowed to 89 million units. In addition, the design cycle of the automotive industry has taken several years. Fortunately, the popular car types have been able to continue to produce and sell for many years, so analysts believe that the development of the automotive semiconductor market still has considerable growth and stability.
In general, the revenue growth rate of the automotive semiconductor market will be much higher than the industry average. As in Nvidia's recently announced earnings report, revenue in the automotive market grew by 52% in 2017. In addition, Texas Instruments ( Texas Instrument) sales in the automotive market grew by 23% in 2016, reaching $4 billion.
According to Gartner, the ratio of new cars equipped with ADAS will increase from 7% in 2015 to 18% in 2020. In addition, JPMorgan also estimates that the self-driving market will see a total of US$7.3 billion by 2025. During this period, the cost of each vehicle with ADAS-related chips will increase by $300 to $400.
In addition to ADAS and self-driving cars, there are also quite popular car infotainment systems, and the powertrains used in electric or hybrid vehicles are also important for semiconductor manufacturers in the automotive market. In the map, analysts believe that from the perspective of the fiery market of the automotive semiconductor market, the next wave of mergers and acquisitions will undoubtedly continue.
