Structured ASICs to experience 145% CAGR over five years
10 September 2003
News
With their use of a true standard cell approach that affords a relatively large number of gates to program, while also including certain embedded hard-core functions such as static RAM and/or MPU, the worldwide shipments of structured ASIC products are forecast to grow from the $5,2m reached last year, to $460,3m by 2007 - a compound annual growth rate of 144,9% according to high-tech market research firm, In-Stat/MDR.
"A void has been created between the use of high-complexity FPGAs and cell-based designs," says Jerry Worchel, a senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR. "This void, while being somewhat related to performance, by and large, is related to unit volumes per design. The structured ASIC represents the next logical step for meeting these types of product volume requirements, as well as representing an appropriate evolutionary path for gate array technology, as a whole."
As is the case for most product markets these days, the communications sector will dominate structured ASIC consumption, according to the group, with the majority of applications being in the networking infrastructure and cellular basestations. The structured ASIC communications market will account for slightly more than one-half of all product dollars shipped, between 2002 and 2007. The second largest end-use category for structured ASICs will be EDP, with the largest application being in storage.
In-Stat says that of the three major product structured ASIC categories - conventional gate array, embedded array (or embedded array in a cell-based design) and structured ASIC - only the structured ASIC segment will see its worldwide revenues continually grow over the forecast period, reaching 36,4% market share by 2007, an increase of 35,9 percentage points from 2002.
