Global PCI Interface Cards Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global PCI Interface Cards market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2002 million in 2025 to US$ 2238 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.7% from 2026 to 2032.
Global PCI interface card production is projected to reach 23.71 million units in 2025, with an average price of $86.3 per unit. Gross margins typically range from 25% to 40%.
PCI Interface Cards (Peripheral Component Interconnect) are expansion cards that plug into computer motherboards to add functionality, like graphics, networking, or sound, acting as a standardized bridge for communication with the processor; though the original parallel PCI standard is largely replaced by the faster, serial PCI Express (PCIe), the core concept remains: cards that enhance or add hardware capabilities, such as high-speed storage (NVMe SSDs), advanced graphics (GPUs), or specialized controllers.
The upstream of the PCI interface card industry chain mainly consists of core chips, controllers and bridge chips, FPGAs, analog and digital interface devices, connectors, and PCB boards. Upstream demand emphasizes long-term supply, signal integrity, and industrial-grade reliability, with costs significantly influenced by the prices of high-end FPGAs and dedicated control chips. Downstream is the key to value realization, with demand concentrated in areas such as industrial automation and machine vision, data acquisition and testing, communication and network equipment, energy and transportation monitoring, medical imaging, and scientific computing. Industrial automation and machine vision use PCI interface cards for high-speed acquisition, motion control, and real-time triggering, with low latency and high bandwidth supporting complex production lines. Testing and measurement and scientific research scenarios prioritize accuracy, synchronization, and programmability for experimental data acquisition and system verification. Communication and network equipment uses PCI interface cards for protocol acceleration and interface expansion to meet customized needs. Energy, transportation, and medical applications emphasize long-term stable operation and certification compliance. Downstream users are more concerned with driver and system compatibility, continuous supply cycles, on-site technical support, and reliability verification. Downstream project-based procurement and large-scale deployment jointly determine the industry's growth pace.
The industry trend is towards higher bandwidth and lower latency, with PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 rapidly gaining popularity. Multi-channel parallelism, time synchronization, and hardware-software synergy are becoming the main themes. Driving factors include industrial digitalization and intelligent manufacturing upgrades, increased demand for AI and machine vision computing power, increased reliance on high-speed I/O for edge computing, and interface customization demands arising from the localization of semiconductors and scientific research equipment. Obstacles mainly include rapid PCIe standard iteration leading to increased R&D and certification costs, fluctuations in high-end chip supply, complex operating system and driver maintenance, some industries shifting to alternative interfaces such as Ethernet, and the long cycle of project-based markets affecting revenue predictability.
