Global embedded processor market to grow at CAGR of 7.5 percent over 2010-2014

DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Embedded Processor Market 2010-2014" report to its offering.

One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is that customized processors are driving the market. The Global Embedded Processor market has also been witnessing rapid penetration of embedded processors into new product applications. However, reliability of the embedded processors could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

TechNavio's report, the Global Embedded Processor Market 2010-2014, has been prepared based on an in-depth analysis of the market with inputs from industry experts. Key vendors dominating this market space include Intel Corp., Freescale Semiconductor, Netlogic Microsystems and Cavium Networks.

TechNavio published its report Global Embedded Processor Market 2010-2014. The report discusses the current and future trends of this market. The report highlights that there is a constant drive toward more integrated devices to perform a variety of functions and support multiple standards. Standard processors have challenges of their own in terms of meeting the performance and power consumption requirements. This is where customized processors are finding their way. Customized processors are able to provide the benefits of flexibility through software re-programmability, while simultaneously keeping a check on overheads.

An analyst from TechNavio's Embedded Systems team said: "As embedded processors become more complex, faster and more highly integrated, it is no surprise that developing software has become more time consuming. In order to ensure that developing software is still manageable, development tools for embedded processors have improved significantly in the last decade. Development tools include hardware PCBs that allow physical examination of electrical signals and software programs that allow high-level languages to be used."
