The key growth drivers of the electronics industry In 2011 and in the future, the desire for unlimited bandwidth across the globe will become the key growth driver for the electronics industry. Among them, Asia, which has nearly 3 billion people and accounts for about 60% of the world's population, is playing an increasingly important role in the growth of global broadband demand.
In 2009, within a short period of 12 months, China had added more than 110 million Internet users. During the same period, China’s third-generation mobile service deployment has also reached 16 million users. As of the end of November 2010, the total number of Chinese netizens reached 450 million, the annual growth rate was 20.3%, and the penetration rate of China’s Internet reached 33.9%. China’s third-generation mobile service deployment has grown astonishingly 10 times compared to 2009, reaching More than 170 million users.
China and India, which have the largest user base in the world, currently have more than 671 million connected users and up to 635 million mobile network users. It is worth noting that in India, 8,000 towns and about 6 million villages use wireless technology. In fact, wireless access has become quite common. After installing a 3G tower near the camp area near Mount Everest, it is now possible to access the Internet even at the top of the Madonna.
According to World Bank estimates, the middle class in China and India is expected to increase by about two times to reach 1.2 billion by 2030. Therefore, Asia will play a more crucial role in driving future network traffic and bandwidth growth.
Far beyond telecommunications and web browsing applications, more network applications are emerging in Asia and around the world, including Video-over-IP, telemedicine, multiplayer online gaming systems, high-resolution surveillance systems, and remote conference systems. Wait.
These demands have overloaded the global communications infrastructure and changed the communications semiconductor industry, which has been fairly stable over the past 20 years. In the face of severe economic and market challenges, the traditional semiconductor business model has proved to be no longer sustainable.
At the 32/28nm node, the development cost of integrated circuits is approximately around US$97 million. In response to rising costs, designs using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and application-specific standard products (ASSPs) have fallen dramatically. These trends have created a phenomenon that when first- and second-tier ASIC and ASSP vendors compete for a large number of general-purpose application markets, the new third-line entrepreneurs appear to be left out because of the sharp decline in venture capital funding in the semiconductor industry.
In turn, communications OEMs have been trying to reduce R&D costs and reduce risks in order to develop innovative products that can be brought to market faster. More and more Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become the de facto standard in low-cost innovative applications that have been dominated by ASICs and ASSPs.
Future industry trends There is no doubt that future industry trends are absolutely programmable.
China's communications infrastructure providers such as Huawei and ZTE have rapidly supported China's TD-SCDMA wireless standards by adopting an FPGA-programmable platform in its core designs of more than 100,000 base stations. In addition, China Mobile and China Telecom are also deploying FTTH networks, and they also support programmable platforms.
Similarly, India is also actively building broadband services. Earlier last year, India granted seven 3G service licenses with a total investment of 11 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost double the local government's estimate. To recover these large investments as quickly as possible, programmable platforms will play a key role in the deployment of these wireless networks to minimize risk and ensure the fastest time to market and ultimate return.
Looking into the future, programming will accelerate its development. According to IC Insights' forecast, by 2014, the PLD sector is expected to grow to US$7 billion, which is roughly double the size of the market in 2009.
