Rising Use of Electronics in Automobiles Spurs Demand for ASICs Given the expanding applications of integrated circuits (ICs) in automobiles, the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) market has been experiencing growth. Government pollution norms, safety and security regulations, and the oil crisis have aided in the increase of electronic content in automobiles in order to eliminate human errors. Specifically, the proliferation of multiplexing in automotive, the increase in fault tolerant solutions, and the growing role of power semiconductor in automobiles are some of the trends being witnessed in the automotive semiconductor market. This has had a direct impact on the ASIC market. "While the European region is expected to generate more revenues than any other region because of their early technological acceptance and government regulations, the Asian region has clearly been one of the fastest growing segments worldwide," notes the analyst of this research service. "In terms of applications, the safety and security, telematics, and driver information applications are poised to grow at an alarming rate," Focus on Reduction in Non recurring Engineering Cost and the Time to Market Essential At present, matching the performance requirements with the cost of the product is a key challenge that remains to be resolved. Reducing the non recurring engineering (NRE) cost and the time to market are also crucial. "ASIC products are characterized by higher NRE and longer time to market," explains the analyst. "However, the unit cost and the cost of integration are relatively low, depending on the volume." Overall, given the above-mentioned challenges, targeting growing and developing economies such as the Asian countries where there are large opportunities in the low cost, higher-volume automobile applications, will be beneficial.
