Global System Basis Chip Market Size Study & Forecast, by Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, HCVs, Autonomous Vehicles, LCVs and AGVs) by Application (Powertrain, Body Electronics, Telematics & Infotainment, Safety, and Chassis) and Regional Forecasts 2025–203

The Global System Basis Chip (SBC) Market is valued at approximately USD 33.32 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.00% during the forecast period 2025–2035. A System Basis Chip serves as a vital component in automotive electronic control units (ECUs), integrating multiple functionalities such as voltage regulation, communication interfaces, and system monitoring into a single compact device. As the automotive industry pivots toward electrification, connectivity, and automation, SBCs have evolved into indispensable enablers of efficient vehicle communication and intelligent power management. The rapid penetration of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), electric powertrains, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication has significantly accelerated the adoption of system basis chips. Furthermore, the rising demand for energy-efficient semiconductors and the transition toward software-defined vehicles are expected to further stimulate market growth, as OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers strive for seamless integration and enhanced reliability in vehicle electronics.

The accelerating digital transformation across the automotive sector has amplified the significance of SBCs, which act as the “nervous system” connecting sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators within vehicles. The growing trend toward connected mobility and autonomous driving has led to an explosion in data transmission requirements, driving the need for scalable, high-performance chip architectures capable of supporting real-time processing and multi-protocol communication. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electric vehicle sales surpassed 14 million units in 2023 and are projected to double by 2030, underscoring the critical role of SBCs in managing battery systems and power distribution networks efficiently. However, challenges such as chip shortages, high development costs, and supply chain disruptions have slightly constrained the market’s momentum. Despite these headwinds, continuous innovation in 5nm and below semiconductor nodes and the rise of integrated safety and communication solutions are expected to reshape the competitive landscape of the SBC market over the next decade.
