Virtually everybody who owns a mobile phone or tablet has been out and about waiting for an important phone call or e-mail at some point in their life, only to have their phone die while they’re miles away from the nearest charger. Such an incident is a huge issue in today’s fast-paced world where every second counts, hence the recent boom in the Global Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) Market.
The integration of PLD in electronic portable devices reduces the power consumption in portable electronics significantly by providing advanced bus interfacing and bridging functions. With the consumer electronics industry as huge as it is right now, it’s easy to understand why as basic a function as “extend battery life” is enough to play a huge role in the Global Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) Market’s forecasted CAGR of 12.9 percent for the period 2012-2016.
This isn’t the only factor pushing the market however. Add in a few other drivers like the overall explosion in portable electronic device consumers, increasing demand for high-speed network connectivity, and the high availability of disruptive technologies that PLDs can help with, and you’ve got a market that’s aimed for big success.
The graph below breaks down just how much impact each of these drivers will have on the various end-user categories in the programmable logic devices industry:
This similar graph outlines the same drivers according to their force in each of the three main Global marketplaces (the APAC, EMEA, and Americas).
As you can tell, the Programmable Logic Devices have a lot of hard-hitting catalysts for profit working in their favour…and to think, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The market is only just hitting the main stream scene and it’s already valued at over $US 4 billion. The next few years will only bring even more colossal growth and profit. In other words, if you’re eye isn’t already on it, then The PLD Market is one to watch!
