The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including Field Programmable Gate Array Market. 

It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak Field Programmable Gate Array Market will reach CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.

Field Programmable Gate Array Market Insights

Field programmable gate array market is likely to witness an impressive CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period. Increasing demand for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), along with the growth of IoT, and faster time-to-market of FPGA than ASIC is the prime factor contributing to the demand for field programmable gate arrays. Growing demand for extensive computation including the increasing application of FPGAs for cloud computing and data processing in data centers are also one of the key growth factors. Rise in the demand for optimization in Big Data analytics is also one of the key drivers for the market, leading search engines, such as Google, and firms, such as Amazon and Walmart, which stem consumer insights based on Big Data analytics, are increasing their dependence on FPGAs. Additionally, increase in demand for smartphones and implementation of FPGA in mainstream embedded computing to build complex mission-critical systems are also creating heavy opportunities in the market.
