Analog Integrated Circuit (IC) Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Analog Integrated Circuit (IC) Market according to our research experts:
Rising Penetration of Smartphones, Feature phones and Tablets Driving the Market Growth
- The growing investments in 5G networks have significantly increased data transfer speeds and resulted in high internet penetration. For instance, as per GSMA, by 2025, 5G networks will likely cover one-third of the global population. In the 5G wireless cellular networks, smartphone battery efficiency, and optimal power utilization have emerged as important factors contributing to the growth of analog ICs for power management.
- The COVID-19 pandemic also had a positive impact on tablet shipments in 2020. As the pandemic forced many people to stay indoors through most months of the year, it led to working and learning from home for many people, who looked forward to buying new devices to achieve the same.
- Analog ICs or linear ICs are often used as audio-frequency (AF) and radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers. The audio amplifier chip is a key component in the speaker system inside smartphones and tablets. The amplifier powers the speaker, moving the speaker driver back and forth to excite the air and produce sound. As such, the growing penetration of these devices may accelerate the demand for analog ICs.
- Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have two significant restrictions from the design standpoint: thermal dissipation and battery power supply. Thermal dissipation restricts the power consumption of AP (Application Processor), which limits computational performance. Battery usage time is also determined by the power consumption of the mobile device. Due to these reasons, power management to improve electric power usage efficiency is a crucial part of mobile product design. For efficient power management, power management ICs (PMICs) are used. Many PMICs often incorporate analog IC components.

China is Expected to be the Fastest Growing Market in the Asia Pacific Region
- China is among the leading countries producing semiconductors and related devices and consumption. The government has witnessed a boom in the electronics industry, especially since the infamous trade dispute with the United States. Although the local analog IC design and manufacturing houses are still behind their international counterparts, the favorable industry regulations and increased focus of various industry stakeholders are expected to facilitate the industry's growth.
- The automotive industry is among the leading demand drivers for analog ICs; the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle (NEV) in the domestic and international market and rising demand for analog chips used in automotive electronics are promoting the development of the studied market. For instance, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), around 2.9 million battery electric vehicles in 2021, an increase of 166 percent compared to 2020. In 2021, about 601,000 plug-in electric vehicles were produced in China.
- The growth of the automotive industry is driving the demand for analog ICs, which in turn is encouraging IC manufacturers to expand their production capacities further and develop innovative solutions. For instance, in August 2022, Analog IC foundry GTA Semiconductor started its capacity expansion project in the LingangSpecial Area in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, with plans to set up new production lines for automotive chips.
- However, the automobile industry in Japan is heavily affected by the persisting semiconductor shortage. Many Japanese auto manufacturers have announced the intent to reduce the production of vehicles. According to the Japan Automobile Dealers Association and the Japan Mini Vehicles Association, domestic new vehicle sales in October 2021 declined 31.3% from the same month last year to 279,341 units, a record low for October since the statistics began in 1968.
- The analog IC market in China has also expanded with the development of communications, consumer electronics, and other industries. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of 5G base stations in use across China had exceeded 1.85 million by the second quarter of 2022. The country added nearly 300,000 5G base stations in the year's second quarter.
