The UK VPX SBC Market by Form (Standard and Custom), by Rack Unit (3U and 6U), by Processor (Intel-Based Architecture, NXP Power Architecture, and ARM Architecture), by Processing Power (Low, Medium, and High), by Memory Storage (0-16 GB, 16-32 GB, 32-48
Description
The UK VPX SBC Market size was valued at USD 11.7 million in 2024, and is predicted to reach USD 29.6 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.5% from 2025 to 2030.
The UK’s significant investments in defense modernization projects, such as the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) and naval enhancement programs, are driving the demand for VPX SBCs. These high-performance computing solutions are crucial for real-time data processing in radar, surveillance, and electronic warfare systems, supporting the country’s defense strategy. According to the Joint Economic Data, the defense sector plays a major role in the UK economy, with defense exports rising by 69.9%, from USD 8.27 billion in 2021 to USD 14.03 billion in 2022.
However, UK’s dependence on imported VPX SBC components increases production costs and exposes the market to supply chain risks, including delays and limited availability. This reliance especially affects SMEs that struggle to adopt cost-effective solutions, ultimately slowing market growth.
On the contrary, introduction of 5G and AI-enabled SBCs creates a significant opportunity for the VPX SBC industry. As 5G demands high speed, low latency processing, the integration of AI enhances SBCs ability to handle complex tasks such as real time data analysis and decision making. VPX SBCs with their robust architecture are well suited to support these advanced applications, fuelling demand for reliable and scalable solutions across sectors such as telecommunications, defense, and aerospace. The convergence of 5G and AI technologies creates a promising growth for VPX SBCs as industries pursue powerful, efficient platforms for next generation technologies. For instance, Particle launched Tachyon, the first 5G AI-enabled SBC that features a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, addressing the rising need for AI-driven edge solutions. This innovation is poised to boost interest in VPX SBCs, driving market growth and fostering advancements in rugged computing solutions.
