Embedded processors: Global market demand analysis

DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Embedded Processors: Global Market Demand Analysis" report to their offering.

This new report on Embedded Processors, proves market intelligence on processor platforms used in embedded computing applications. The report provides detailed data and segmentation on CPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and MCUs used in embedded applications.

These four major processing technologies covered are segmented by individual classification as well as collectively to measure how many units of each individual processor architecture proliferate in each of the many fragmented embedded vertical markets relative to each other. The primary data collected for this project includes supply-side data and two separate demand-side data sets.

Research highlights
The current global recession is creating an extremely challenging environment for the entire semiconductor industry.

The embedded processor segment will not be immune to negative effects from the current downturn, but it offers elements that are somewhat shielded compared to other semiconductor segments:

* Certain embedded markets are far enough removed from consumers to gain some protection from the tapped out consumer market.
* These markets are also highly diversified -- by application, account type and technical solution.
* Many markets are made up of mission critical applications.
* A number of products offer attractive ROI in this environment.
* The embedded processors market is driven by ROI regardless of macroeconomic conditions.
* Time to market pressures for OEMs developing on embedded processors and their customers.
* Demand to drive revenue from new products and services.
* Need to control costs across the technical value chain is driving more OEMS to reconsider their platform selections.
* Investment migration from hardware to software/ services continues in virtually every embedded segment, placing additional cost, price, performance and support pressures on suppliers.
