The top end, multicore SoCs, will grow 4.6 percent in 2016, slightly below the overall average. It is the basic SoC design starts that are doing best with a compound annual growth rate of 11.7 percent predicted over the period 2015 to 2020. Unit shipments for Industrial applications lead in CAGR followed by Consumer, Communications, Automotive/Transportation and Computer.
“A growing proportion of new growth is coming from IoT-type applications as more traditional end applications are seeing some slowness,” said Rich Wawrzyniak, an analyst at Semico Research.
