Furthermore, the rising usage of logic semiconductors for data transmission and broadband-enabled devices, as well as growing economies such as China, India, and others, will open up new prospects for the worldwide logic semiconductors market. However, increasing product modification costs and the growth of System-in-Package (SiP) packaging are major barriers for the worldwide logic semiconductors industry.

Asia Pacific region and North America are anticipated to hold a significant number of shares in the logic semiconductors market.

The presence of high-tech companies and the initiative taken by them have majorly influenced the region to generate market demand along with market expansion. For instance, the System LSI Business, Samsung Electronics fabless IC design house, presently offers over 900 products, including SoC (System on Chip), imaging systems, modems, display driver IC (DDI), power control IC (PMIC), and security solutions. The System LSI Business not only produces outstanding individual products, but it is also a whole solution provider capable of integrating diverse logic technologies into a single platform in order to provide clients with optimum solutions. Moreover, in October 2022, at the Tech Day exhibit, Samsung Electronics debuted a variety of innovative logic chip technologies for the first time, including the Exynos Auto V920, 5G Exynos Modem 5300, and QD OLED DDI, which are critical components in sectors such as mobile, home appliances, and automotive.

Furthermore, in November 2021, Samsung stated it will invest $17 billion in a new semiconductor manufacturing plant in Taylor, Texas, including buildings, land upgrades, machinery, and equipment. This is Samsung's largest-ever investment in the United States. This will contribute to an increase in the manufacture of sophisticated logic semiconductor solutions, which power next-generation breakthroughs and technology. Therefore, all these developments will add value to the logic semiconductors market growth in the coming years.

MIPS Technologies, Inc. and Virage Logic Corp. have developed a streamlined licensing approach that allows System-on-Chip (SoC) designers to license MIPS Technologies' 32-bit CPU cores alongside Virage Logic's semiconductor intellectual property (IP) under a single MIPS Technologies license. The MIPS32 4KEc is the first MIPS Technologies core to be licensed under the new arrangement. It provides startups, fabless semiconductor businesses, and system OEMs with a straightforward, cost-effective, low-risk design route for swiftly deploying a wide range of 32-bit embedded consumer technology applications.

With the debut of their GWU2X and GWU2U USB interface bridging devices, GOWIN Semiconductor Corp., the world's fastest-growing programmable logic firm, introduces the GoBridge ASSP product line. The GWU2X ASSP transforms USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices to four peripheral interfaces: SPI, I2C, JTAG, and GPIO, whereas the GWU2U ASSP translates USB devices to UART. The GoBridge ASSP product family from GOWIN reduces typical interface bridging difficulties in consumer, automobile, industrial, and communication applications.

Key Market Developments

In September 2022, GOWIN Semiconductor Corporation, the world's fastest-growing FPGA company, revealed the availability of its new generation Arora V high-performance FPGA family, which incorporates 270Mbps-12.5Gbps high-speed SerDes interfaces, PCIe 2.1 hardcore with assistance for PCIe x1, x2, and x8 modes, MIPI hardcore single lane device at up to 2.5Gbps, and DDR3 interfacing at speeds up to 1333 Mbps. The first device in the family, the GW5AT-138FC676, has 138K LUT logic resources, 6.4MB block RAM, 1.1MB distributed SRAM, sophisticated DSP blocks, and an integrated ADC. Future devices in the series will include 25K (non-Serdes) and 60K LUT devices.

In July 2022, Samsung plans to expand its semiconductor campus. The new semiconductor campus will cost $17 billion, according to Samsung. It will produce sophisticated logic semiconductor products with 5nm or lower dimensions there. In one of its South Korean plants, the business has already launched the mass manufacture of 3nm chips. When the Taylor factory is fully operating, it may be able to create 2nm solutions. The Korean powerhouse plans to release 2nm semiconductors in 2025.

In August 2022, SK Group, South Korea's second-largest conglomerate, announced the new facility as part of a $22 billion US investment program in semiconductors, renewable energy, and bioscience projects. The White House said that $15 billion will be provided to the semiconductor sector including research and development projects, materials, and the establishment of an enhanced packaging and manufacturing facility. In addition to logic chips created by other US businesses for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, R&D expenditures will entail the establishment of a countrywide network of R&D collaborations and facilities.
