ey Findings

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Obstructed by Pandemic due to Lockdown

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Both the supply and demand sides of the IoT sector were influenced by the COVID-19 epidemic. The supplies has also been made worse by worldwide lockdowns and the closure of semiconductor factories. The market under study showed the influence as well. Nevertheless, a lot of these impacts might only last temporarily. Global government initiatives aimed at bolstering the automotive and IoT may encourage the expansion of both industries. These factors brought a lot of challenges in front of the CXL controller IP market share but past pandemic these challenges have been faced and put to rest since then.

CXL Controller IP Market SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into CXL 2.0 and 3.0 and CXL 1.0 and 1.1 amongst which the leading segment is the CXL 2.0 and 3.0.

• CXL 2.0 and 3.0: Coherent memory sharing with CXL 3.0 is now supported. The reason this is important is that it allows systems to share memory in ways that are not possible with CXL 2.0, which is limited to memory device partitioning among different hosts and accelerators.

• CXL 1.0 and 1.1: A device operating at 1.0/1.1 can only function as a single logical device that is accessible by a single host at a time.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Type 1 CXL Device, Type 2 CXL Device, and Type 3 CXL Device amongst which the leading segment is the  Type 1 CXL Device.

• Type 1 CXL Device: Local memory is usually absent from accelerators, including smart NICs. The DDR memory of the host processor can be accessed by these devices through CXL.

• Type 2 CXL Device: Since DDR or HBM memory is built into GPUs, ASICs, and FPGAs, it is possible to utilize CXL to make memory from the host processor and accelerator locally accessible to each other. Additionally, they enhance diverse workloads by being co-located in the same cache coherence domain.

• Type 3 CXL Device: In order to give host processors more bandwidth and capacity, memory devices can be connected via CXL. The memory type is distinct from the primary memory of the host.

DRIVING FACTORS

Consumer Electronics to Boost the Market

The growing worldwide consumption of consumer electronics and the need for linked devices and better SOC designs are the two main factors propelling the CXL controller IP market under study. Emerging technologies are anticipated to drive the market even more, including programmable and embedded DSP-IP.

Technological Advancements to Expand the Market

The advent of IoT devices is another aspect propelling the market. These circuits are also utilized in other applications, including personal digital assistants, automobile pollution control, and environmental monitoring. The development of an entire mechanism on a single chip is made possible by application-specific integrated circuits, which are anticipated to accelerate market growth since they can incorporate both analog and logic capabilities.

• As per SEMI, global semiconductor equipment sales surpassed USD 108 billion in 2022, creating large-scale demand for CXL controller IP integrated into processors, GPUs, and memory accelerators.

• The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) noted that high-performance computing demand increased by 28% between 2020 and 2022, directly boosting the use of memory-sharing IP like CXL.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

High Costs to Impede Market Growth

The high cost of design for Programmable CXL controller IP is one of the main barriers to the industry. Small and medium-sized businesses may find the design and development process prohibitively expensive due to the substantial time and resource commitment it demands. This factors are major restraints on the growth CXL controller IP.

• The European Commission Digital Economy Report highlighted that design costs for advanced IP cores are 35–40% higher compared to conventional logic IP, limiting adoption among SMEs.

• According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), nearly 22% of chip development projects face delays due to IP verification complexity, acting as a restraint for the CXL controller IP market.
