Industry Insight
A microcontroller (MCU) is a semiconductor IC used in numerous embedded applications. A typical MCU
chip includes core, processer memory and programmable output/input peripherals. Microcontrollers are
cheaper and smaller than microprocessors, which makes it to control numerous devices and processes
digitally. They are used mainly in devices that need a significant degree of control which are utilized by
the user.
Growing automotive industry is anticipated to be a major driver for the market over the next five years.
In addition, high degree of rivalry in the industry has resulted in price cuts, which is anticipated to
further fuel the market growth. Industrial segment is also a key contributor to the overall market. There
is an increasing need for agility and flexibility in the industrial ecosystem due to declining product lifecycles.

Increased innovative technical developments in consumer electronics is expected to provide positive
avenues to market growth over the forecast period. MCUs are included in several consumer electronics
devices, which are projected to augment the MCU market growth. Increasing demand for devices which
are compatible with Ethernet and Internet of Things (IoT) is also expected to provide positive avenues to
market growth over the foreseeable period. Growing demand for microcontroller chips blended with
wireless interface such as NFC, ZigBee and Bluetooth is also anticipated to drive the market growth.
Furthermore, unfavorable macroeconomic conditions and moderately fragmented nature of the
industry are estimated to slow down the market growth over the next five years. The global market was
anticipated to be 17,393.64 million units in 2013, and is estimated to reach 39,108.54 million units by
2020, increasing at a CAGR of 12.34% from 2014 to 2020. On the basis of revenue, the market was
esteemed at USD 16,697.19 million in 2013 and is estimated to reach USD 26,984.81 million by 2020,
rising at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2014 to 2020.
Product Insights
Based on the thickness and width of the internal bus, microcontrollers are classified into 16-bit, 32-bit,
and 4/8-bit. 32-bit MCU segment is ruled the market and accounted over 32% of the total market
revenue in 2013. The 32-bit microcontroller segment is also estimated to grow at a fast pace over the
forecasted period. Increasing popularity due to decrease in unit prices is estimated to drive 32-bit MCU
market.
The 16-bit MCU product was the second major product segment covered over 28% of the overall market
revenue in 2013. They are used in various applications requiring greater power and faster processing
speed requirements such as factory automation, medical applications, automotive, refrigeration, and air
conditioning among others.
