An embedded processor is a microprocessor that is designed into the system of a device to control and perform multiple mechanical and electrical functions simultaneously. They are compact in size, consume minimal energy, and require other external components like peripheral interfaces and integrated memory to perform their designated functions. They are widely used in telecommunication systems, household appliances and consumer electronics such as wireless phones, digital cell phones, and cable modems.
The growing consumer electronics industry represents as the key factor that is influencing the market growth. This, coupled with the increasing penetration rate of the internet, is also impelling the demand for embedded processors. Moreover, mechanical systems in automobiles are gradually being replaced by electronic systems and the automotive industry is now employing embedded systems for various automation processes like wiper, airbags and anti-lock brake controls. This trend is consequently influencing the sales of these processors globally. Apart from this, several industries are adopting the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve their existing systems, which is expected to create a positive impact on the market growth. Additionally, technological advancements have led to the development of ultra-low power microprocessors with higher efficiency, integrated with Wi-Fi and internet capabilities, which is expected to create a positive outlook for the market further. Other factors contributing to the market growth include rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes and increased focus on research and development (R&D) activities.
