Graphic Processors Market Trends

Market Trends of Graphic Processors Industry

Gaming Industry to Augment Market Growth

• The gaming hardware market is huge, spreading across all platforms, from handheld devices to tablets, phones, PCs, consoles, location-based arcades, and gaming parlors. Gaming machines evolved from powerful location-based machines found in arcades, restaurants, and bars to in-home machines in the form of dedicated gaming consoles, microcomputers, and then PCs.
• Gaming machines use two types of CPU processors: ARM and x86-based machines. Those machines fall into five or more platforms, including consoles, notebooks, desktops, mobile devices, and various types of location-based devices found in arcades, restaurants, bars, amusement parks, casinos, and iCafe/net cafes. For instance, AMD integrates a GPU into an x86 processor and calls it an accelerated processor unit APU.
• High-performance gaming is synonymous with gaming laptops. They enable quicker command execution and swift running since they are quick and effective. When it comes to relative speeds and overall performances, for instance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090, a Titan class card, offers highly demanding performance. Additionally, it supports Ray Tracing and DLSS exceptionally well without reducing the graphics settings on the gaming laptop.
• However, Nvidia is also investing significantly in technology and offering gamers customizable solutions. The company announced its powerful GPU, titled Titan RTX, which uses Nvidia's Turing architecture and delivers 130 teraflops of deep learning performance and 11 gigarays of ray-tracing performance. The new display port on the GPU is designed for next-generation VR headsets, which will only need one wire to connect to PCs.
• Moreover, the hardware landscape is constantly in flux. For instance, the latest graphics cards in the USD 500-USD 1500 price range completely changed, with AMD and Nvidia overhauling their lineups for the growing 1440p gaming market. Compared to the previous flagship RTX 3090 Ti, Nvidia's new flagship RTX 4090 can perform up to two times better in raster-heavy games and up to four times quicker in fully ray-traced games, while the RTX 4080 will be up to three times faster.
• The gaming environment has been further expanded with the resurrection of virtual reality and the introduction of augmented reality for gaming. For instance, AR games like Niantic Lab's Pokemon Go are location-based games and use Google Maps to augment a mythical world filled with characters from the Pokemon. Users are encouraged to explore new alleys or hunt for hidden characters on their mobile screens; in the real world, they walk several miles.

Asia-Pacific to be Fastest-Growing Market

• Developing countries in the Asia Pacific, such as China, Japan, Singapore, and India, are expected to witness high demand. This may be attributed to the increasing adoption of mobile computing devices and the region's high demand for gaming applications.
• The Japanese gaming market is the third-largest in the world due to the continued success of several mobile gaming companies in the country. Japanese gamers spend more than players in any other country. The average spending per Japanese player is approximately 2.5 times higher than that in western Europe and nearly 1.5 times higher than in North America.
• China developed its own GPU compute engines by introducing the BR series of products from Biren Technology. China now has access to a dedicated local GPU for graphics and computing, which will intensify the fierce GPU market competition.
• With its upcoming game-focused GPUs, Shanghai-based chipmaker Muxi is anticipated to put China on the global map and promote Asia's growth. In order to meet the needs of the expanding high-end PC gaming sector in the nation, the company is reportedly creating China's in-house GPU. The GPU explicitly designed for gaming is currently under development and is anticipated to be available in 2025.
• With the growing adoption of IoT devices that gather huge amounts of data that needs to be monitored and analyzed, the demand for high-end computing systems has effectively increased in the automotive sector in the Asia-Pacific Region.
• Moreover, countries such as China, India, Japan, and Singapore are shifting the paradigm toward technological enhancement. Therefore, the region has the highest smart device sales, from smartphones and tablets to PlayStation and gaming PCs. This attribute explains the increasing demand for graphics processors.
