Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

The Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the growth of the embedded systems market, with a wide range of applications in industries such as automotive, healthcare, and industrial automation. Embedded systems are critical components of IoT solutions, enabling the connection of devices to the internet and facilitating data exchange between them. The report provides an evaluation of embedded system solutions within IoT, analysis of changes in traditional Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), and modifications in hardware, peripherals, and tools to support processing of embedded systems in IoT.

Key Takeaways:

  • The global embedded systems market is projected to grow from $11.5 billion in 2015 to $27.4 billion by 2020, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.4% during the forecast period.
  • The market is divided into two segments: hardware and software. Hardware is expected to account for a majority share of the market, with a growth rate of 18.1% from 2015 to 2020.
  • The demand for RTOS is increasing, driven by the growing need for real-time processing in IoT applications. Contributors such as Contiki, DDC-I Inc., and Lynx Software Technologies, Inc. are actively developing and marketing RTOS solutions.
  • Avix, Echelon Corporation, and Freescale Semiconductor are leading providers of embedded hardware solutions, catering to various industry verticals.
  • The report highlights the importance of open-source software (OSS) in the development of embedded systems, with companies like ARM Holdings, DIGITAL LIVING NETWORK ALLIANCE (DLNA), and QUALCOMM Atheros Inc. contributing to OSS projects.
  • The expansion of IoT and Industry Internet of Things (IIoT) applications will drive demand for embedded system hardware, devices, and tools, further fueling market growth.

Statistics:

  • The global embedded systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% from 2015 to 2020, reaching $27.4 billion by the end of the forecast period.
  • Hardware is expected to account for 72.1% of the market share by 2020, with a growth rate of 18.1% from 2015 to 2020.
  • The RTOS market will expand at a CAGR of 18.3% from 2015 to 2020, driven by the demand for real-time processing in IoT applications.
  • The OSS market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2015 to 2020, driven by the increasing adoption of OSS solutions in embedded system development.
