Analog IC Market Analysis

The Analog Integrated Circuit Market size is estimated at USD 91.26 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 129.69 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.30% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

  • Analog integrated circuits (ICs) include interconnected components crafted on a single semiconducting wafer. Unlike digital circuits, which operate on just two voltage levels, analog components react to a continuous spectrum of input signals. These circuits are integral to electronic devices, processing and forging various energy output levels. Appliances such as oscillators, DC amplifiers, multi-vibrators, and audio amplifiers rely on analog circuits to ensure consistent input and output levels.
  • The rise of technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) is set to drive market growth, highlighting the advantages of analog ICs in a wide array of real-time connected devices. Notably, IoT's footprint is expanding with the surge in high-speed connectivity, cloud adoption, and data analytics. For example, Forbes projects over 207 billion devices will be globally networked by the closing of 2024, which presents a positive growth opportunity for the market.
  • The demand for analog ICs has surged in recent years, fueled by the boom in smartphones, computers, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles. Smartphones utilize various ICs, including charge ICs, display PMICs, SoC PMICs, and Camera PMICs. Industry giants like Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, and Samsung S.LSI dominate this landscape. Given the rising production of technologically advanced smartphones and the integration of 5G and 6G, the global analog IC market is poised for significant growth.
  • However, a dip was witnessed in global smartphone need in 2023 compared to 2022, attributed to inflation, waning consumer spending, and a subdued outlook. This downturn is likely to influence market growth negatively. However, a modest recovery is expected in FY 2024 owing to the rising demand for 5G smartphones and the global expansion of 5G networks, especially with the surge in 5G and foldable smartphones. According to GSMA forecasts, by 2025, 5G networks are expected to encompass a third of the global population.
  • The reliance on skilled analog chip design engineers is pronounced. However, there is a substantial scarcity in the semiconductor industry. Cindi Harper from Intel highlighted that industry demand for talent outstrips supply. According to Ruchir Dixit of Siemens EDA, a shortfall of 250,000 semiconductor engineers is expected to be seen in the United States over the next five years. In China and Taiwan, deficits of 300,000 and 50,000 engineers are expected, respectively. Such imbalances pose challenges to market growth.
  • The Russia-Ukraine War reverberated across multiple industries, including electronics. This geopolitical tension intensified existing semiconductor supply chain disruptions and chip shortages. Such disturbances have led to price volatility in essential raw materials like nickel, palladium, copper, silicon, and titanium, resulting in material shortages.
  • According to SEMI, Russia supplied 45-50% of the world's palladium, a crucial material for semiconductor packaging. With global trading doors closing on Russia, semiconductor manufacturers are increasingly pursuing alternative raw material sources, further prolonging semiconductor production delays. This is expected to hamper the growth of the market.

Analog IC Market Trends

The Cell Phone Sub-segment is Expected to Hold a Major Share

  • In the dynamic world of technology, application-specific analog ICs have become essential for cellular phones and multifunctional handheld devices, where voice communication remains a primary function. These devices, developed for extensive cellular networks like 2G, 3G, and Wimax, utilize transmission formats such as CDMA, GSM, and their enhanced versions.
  • Rising smartphone adoption, particularly in developing countries, is driven by population growth and urbanization. For instance, by the end of 2023, GSMA reported that 5.6 billion people, or 69% of the global population, had subscribed to mobile benefits, marking a proliferation of 1.6 billion since 2015.
  • The emergence of 5G technology has led to the adoption of 5G smartphones. According to Ericsson Mobility Report, 5 billion 5G mobile subscriptions are expected to be recorded by the end of 2028. These 5G networks are anticipated to cover 85% of the population and operate about 70% of mobile traffic.
  • All these factors can be attributed to the continuously increasing share of the cell phone sub-segment of the market as there is an increasing need for advanced features in smartphones, such as great camera quality, AR, and VR, all of which are made possible by analog ICs. The importance of analog ICs lies in their ability to process analog signals with high precision and accuracy. This makes them critical for signal processing, power management, and data conversion applications. Additionally, combining multiple analog circuits on a single chip permits for smaller, more efficient, and cost-effective devices.
  • GSMA projects that North America will see smartphone subscribers rise to 328 million by 2025, with mobile penetration at 86% and internet users at 80%. According to Ericsson Mobility Report, Middle East and Africa (MEA) is expected to have 60 million 5G subscribers by 2024, accounting for roughly 3% of total mobile subscriptions. GSMA estimates that there will be about 50 million 5G connections in MENA by 2025, with 20 million in the Arab states alone. These figures highlight the rapid adoption of cell phones, propelling the sub-segment forward.
