Charles Dachs, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Secure Connected Edge at NXP Semiconductors, said, “With the i.MX 93W, we're extending the i.MX 9 family to help customers scale physical AI faster. This new platform simplifies integration of AI and secure wireless connectivity, reducing design complexity and allowing customers to more quickly deploy AI agents at the edge”
The increased application of connected products in smart homes and industrial automation, healthcare monitoring, and automotive electronics is driving the growth in demand of IoT semiconductors that can support low-energy applications, wireless connectivity, and real-time information processing. The development of edge computing and AI-enabled sensors is driving the demand to develop multipurpose chips with microcontrollers, on-the-board connectivity hardware, and security capabilities in smaller packages.
This tendency will be reflected in 2025 when Qualcomm Technologies launched new low-power IoT processors in support of industrial and smart-home devices with more robust on-device AI functionality, and STMicroelectronics added to its STM32 microcontroller product range with added wireless and edge-AI support, as smart industry and consumer IoT applications continue to increase their demand. The growing use of 5G, Wi-Fi 6 and LPWAN connections of wearables, smart meters and asset-tracking equipment is also enhancing the demand of semiconductors as manufacturers aim towards enhanced efficiency, long battery performance and secure-connection of large-scale IoT deployments.
Adjacent opportunities for the IoT semiconductor market are expanding in smart wearables, automotive electronics, industrial robotics, smart energy meters, and healthcare monitoring devices, where low-power processors, sensors, and connectivity chips are essential for real-time data processing and communication. These applications increasingly require secure, compact, and energy-efficient semiconductor solutions.
Increasing use of the Industrial IoT and smart manufacturing technologies are driving up the use of IoT semiconductors capable of real-time monitoring, machine connectivity, and automated control systems. Sensors, microcontrollers, wireless chip and edge processors are also being implemented in modern factories to enhance productivity, minimize downtime and predictive maintenance at the production line.
IoT semiconductors are forced to combine processing, wireless connectivity, power management, and hardware-level protection into compact and low-energy chip designs, dramatically elevating the complexity of development and the cost of engineering. Devices deployed by industries, healthcare, automotive, and smart infrastructure need to comply with high-level standards of cybersecurity, data protection, and interoperability with the need of added validation, encryption modules, and firmware support.
The growing use of smart city infrastructure, connected healthcare devices, and real-time asset tracking systems are driving high demand of IoT semiconductors with low-power computing, wireless connectivity, and security data transmission. Smart meters, surveillance systems, wearable health sensors, and logistical trackers are only examples of applications that demand small and energy efficient chips in order to be used on a continuous basis.
IoT semiconductor vendors are moving towards highly integrated system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, which are single-chip solutions that include processing, connectivity, memory, security and power management. This integration makes the devices smaller, consumes less power and it is less complex to design smart home, industrial and healthcare IoT applications.
The global IoT Semiconductor market is dominated by electricity IoT semiconductors in that they find wide applications in residential, commercial and industrial settings. Real time monitoring of the power being consumed can be provided and therefore more accurate billing, less energy wastage and demand response and time of use price programs can be introduced.
The Asia Pacific region dominates the global IoT semiconductor market due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and large-scale adoption of smart devices across consumer, healthcare, and industrial sectors. High investment in smart city projects, connected healthcare systems, and industrial IoT infrastructure is driving strong semiconductor demand, particularly in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India.
The global IoT semiconductor market is consolidated, with leading players including Qualcomm Incorporated, Texas Instruments, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, and Intel Corporation. The advantages that these companies have include the use of advanced microcontrollers, wireless connectivity solutions, AI-enabled edge processing, and highly integrated system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. The strategic alliances with equipment makers, low-power/secure IoT solutions, and next-generation chips in smart home, industrial automation, healthcare, and asset-tracking applications also give them an upper hand.
The IoT semiconductor value chain covers supplier of sensors, MCUs, connectivity chips and power modules, design and manufacture of integrated circuits, system integration, software and firmware development, and support lifecycle, such as testing, security validation and lifecycle management. Each phase focuses on energy efficiency, low-latency performance, interoperability, and high security, to guarantee that the devices fulfill high requirements of IoT in a consumer, industrial and medical setting.
The barrier to entry is high due to the complexity of the high technology, high regulatory standards, and compatibility with various communication protocols, which further strengthens the position of the established players. The market is constantly differentiated, scaled and grows sustainably through continuous innovation in low-power, multi-functional, and secure IoT semiconductors.
