Making Vehicles Smart: Auto CPU and IP TAM

The automotive semiconductor market will exceed the overall industry growth as semiconductor content expands with added features and functionality.  The desire to put self-driving vehicles on the road is creating most of the increased interest in the automotive market and the growing automotive semiconductor demand.  Connectivity is a necessary feature for autonomous cars and is growing as a percentage of new cars produced.

Automotive Semiconductor Database

From Miatas to Peterbuilts, every automotive vehicle uses semiconductors. Finding new opportunities can be difficult. This database provides a systematic organization of five-year forecasts for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, nearly thirty electronic systems and semiconductors by device type. True, some automotive applications are mature or have high barriers to entry; but there are emerging applications with tremendous semiconductor sales growth potential where new market entrants are welcome. Use this database to find them. Then find more detail in Semico’s automotive studies.

Hybrid Vehicle Electronic Control: Keeping the Current Going

Hybrid electric vehicles’ potential sales growth is obvious. The 2008 to 2013 CAGR for both hybrid electric vehicles unit shipments and control system semiconductors’ revenue is more than 30%. This study provides details. It provides descriptions of alternate hybrid electric vehicle systems, serial and parallel. In twelve tables and four charts on sixteen pages it provides five-year forecasts for automotive shipments and hybrid electric control systems as well as five-year semiconductor forecasts for BOMs, unit shipments, revenues and ASPs.

Drive-by-Wire Throttle: Look Ma, No Cable

Semiconductor revenue from automotive drive-by-wire throttle applications will increase more than four and a half times from 2008 through 2013. The number of passenger cars with ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) will increase from one million in 2008 to six and a half million in 2013. This growth is certain because ETC provides overwhelming benefits. It continuously modulates the throttle opening in response to engine control and road condition inputs to provide smoother, more responsive, more powerful engine operation with better fuel economy.

Automotive Systems: Adaptive Braking, No Stopping Its Growth!

Semiconductor revenues for adaptive braking systems will increase at a CAGR of more than 100% over the next five years, a growth opportunity that will continue even through the current recession. Adaptive braking systems sense impending collisions and automatically apply a car’s brakes to prevent an accident. They are in use now only on high-end passenger cars, but the costs will come down until they become standard equipment even on small, economy cars.
