The global digital signal processors market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period. Information contained in signals needs to be processed so that it can be analyzed, displayed or converted. Analog products help detect real-world including audio, video, position, etc., which are then digitized using converters. Digital signal processors (DSP) process this information at very high speeds and feed it back for use in various applications. While signals can be processed in the analog form, using digital processing results in high speed and accuracy, which is one of the key product benefits. Signals can be compressed for quicker transmission; they can also be enhanced (for example, in echo cancellation) in order to provide information that cannot be sensed by humans while improving quality. DSP components include program and data memory, a compute engine, and input/output.
Technological advancement and developments in wireless infrastructure are the chief market drivers. Additionally, the growth in data traffic and use of technologies such as internet protocol (IP) cameras for video surveillance are expected to drive product demand on a global level. Digital signal processing has emerged as the preferred technique to build high-performance communication systems due to the cost benefits it offers. Design tools and other hardware have been developed for DSPs in order to mitigate challenges such as the trade off between price, performance, and power consumption. These products can be used in numerous application areas, primarily because they are programmable in nature. Power consumption has emerged as a key parameter for choosing a DSP, on account of migration from legacy end-use industries to growing use in devices such as laptops and cell phones.
The DSP Market is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period. Computers, consumer electronics, and the information and communications technology (ICT) sector which includes wireless communications uses were the largest application segments in 2012. Growing investment in these areas coupled with developments in fab, fabless, IP, and ATP (assembly, testing, and packaging) are expected to favorably impact the industry over the next few years. In terms of geography, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market segment over the forecast period. Major industry participants include Altera Corporation, Freescale Semiconductor, Analog Devices Incorporated, Infineon Technologies AG, NXP Semiconductors NV, Renesas Electronics Corporation, Texas Instruments, and Xilinx among others.
