IoT Chip Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type, Product, Power Consumption, Application and by Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global IoT Chip Market is accounted for $533.31 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $846.30 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. A tiny, specialized electronic part called an IoT (Internet of Things) chip is used in IoT devices to facilitate connectivity and data exchange. These chips are crucial to the effective functioning of smart devices because they combine a number of functions, including processing, memory, and communication, into a small form factor. They make it easier for common objects to be connected to the internet, enabling data collection, real-time control, and monitoring.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the global market for IoT devices is expected to grow significantly, reaching over 55.7 billion connected devices by 2025.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing uptake of smart electronics

The increasing number of wearables, connected cars, and smart homes is driving up demand for IoT chips, which allow these devices to communicate and work together. Smart lighting systems, fitness trackers, and even driverless cars are made possible by the integration of IoT chips, which enable these gadgets to gather, process, and communicate data to create more effective, efficient and customized user experiences. Moreover, the market for IoT chips is expected to grow as consumer interest in smart technology continues to rise.

Restraint:

Exorbitant development and deployment expenses

Research, development, and manufacturing costs are high when it comes to designing and producing IoT chips with cutting-edge features like high processing power and low power consumption. Deploying IoT infrastructure also necessitates spending money on software development, network infrastructure, and continuing maintenance. Additionally, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and startups may find these exorbitant costs to be unaffordable, which will hinder their capacity to innovate and compete in the Internet of Things market.

Opportunity:

Development of edge computing

Reducing latency and bandwidth consumption for Internet of Things applications, edge computing brings processing power closer to the data source. Decision-making at the network's edge can happen more quickly thanks to IoT chips that have been enhanced with processing power and edge computing capabilities. Furthermore, particularly in industries that demand quick data processing and local decision-making, this trend presents opportunities for creating IoT devices that are more responsive, secure, and efficient.

Threat:

Disruptions to the supply chain

Natural disasters, geopolitical unrest, and component shortages all affect the availability and price of raw materials, semiconductors, and electronic components used in the production of Internet of Things chips, which in turn affects global supply chains. For manufacturers of IoT chips, supply chain disruptions can result in production delays, higher procurement costs, and difficulties managing inventories. Moreover, in order to ensure continuity and resilience against unanticipated disruptions, supply chain risks must be mitigated by diversifying suppliers, keeping buffer stocks, and putting agile supply chain strategies into practice.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic caused supply chain disruptions, manufacturing operations, and worldwide demand, which had a substantial effect on the IoT chip market. The outbreak initially caused extensive production halts and delays in semiconductor fabrication facilities, which had an impact on the accessibility of chips and components for the Internet of Things. Demand for Internet of Things (IoT) devices supporting telecommuting, remote monitoring, and healthcare applications surged as businesses adopted digital solutions and remote work policies.

The System on Chip (SoC) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

In the market for IoT chips, the System on Chip (SoC) segment has the largest share. SoCs combine processing, memory, networking, and frequently specialized hardware accelerators for particular tasks like AI processing or sensor interfacing onto a single chip. Moreover, SoCs are perfect for small IoT devices with low power and space requirements because of this integration, which also lowers costs and improves performance. Because of SoCs' adaptability and efficiency, the IoT chip market has grown significantly, with applications ranging from consumer electronics and smart home devices to industrial automation and healthcare.

The Connectivity Integrated Circuits (ICs) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

In the IoT chip market, the connectivity integrated circuits (ICs) segment is predicted to have the highest CAGR. IoT devices can connect wirelessly to each other through connectivity integrated circuits (ICs) and protocols like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and cellular networks. There is an increasing need for reliable and energy-efficient connectivity solutions as the number of connected devices in smart homes, industrial IoT, and healthcare applications keeps growing. Additionally, in IoT ecosystems, connectivity ICs are essential for facilitating real-time connectivity management, interoperability, and smooth data transmission.

Region with largest share:

Owing to its strong manufacturing capabilities, widespread adoption of IoT technologies across multiple industries, and expanding consumer electronics market, the Asia-Pacific region possesses the largest share in the global IoT chip market. With their home bases of top semiconductor manufacturers and robust government support for the development of IoT infrastructure, nations like China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have played a significant role in the dominance of the region. Furthermore, the Asia-Pacific region is a key player in the global IoT chip market due to the growing investments in connected devices, smart cities, and industrial automation.

Region with highest CAGR:

The IoT chip market is growing significantly in the Europe region, which has the highest CAGR. The increasing use of IoT technologies in industries like smart cities, agriculture, and industrial automation is a defining feature of the region. The demand for cutting-edge IoT chips is being driven by the European Union's massive investments in digital transformation projects and IoT infrastructure. Moreover, strict laws pertaining to environmental sustainability and data privacy are influencing the development and implementation of IoT solutions in Europe, which in turn is affecting the market for safe and energy-efficient IoT chips.
