SFF Board Market Report Overview

The global SFF board market size was USD 7.834 billion in 2023 & the market is projected to touch USD 11.34 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period.

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

Small Form Factor Board, often known as an SFF Board, is a form of motherboard created to fit into small, space-constrained computer cases. When saving space is a top issue, the boards are frequently utilised in small form factor PCs like mini-ITX and micro-ATX systems. They are smaller than typical ATX motherboards in size. Mini-ITX, micro-ATX, and occasionally even smaller variations like Nano-ITX or Pico-ITX are just a few of the different form factors they come in. The smaller size is perfect for small-scale systems or HTPCs (Home Theatre PCs), allowing for more compact computer configurations.

COVID-19 Impact: Imposed Restrictions in the Economy to Challenge and Decline the Market Growth

The industry participants also heavily rely on external market forces like rising mobile and tablet usage to seize development possibilities. But factors like the rising technological complexity will make it difficult for market participants to expand. Market vendors should concentrate more on the growth prospects in the fast-growing segments while preserving their positions in the slow-growing segments in order to take advantage of the chances and recover from the post COVID-19 impact.

DRIVING FACTORS

"The Increasing Usage of Smartphones and Tablets to Boost the Market Growth"

One of the key aspects driving the growth of the SFF board industry is the rising use of mobile phones and tablets. Mobile data traffic has significantly increased as a result of the increase in mobile device usage. The development of network infrastructure by the mobile network providers will increase network capacity and lower cost per bit. Network operators are emphasizing on the creation of complex wired and wireless networks, devices, and architecture that use SFF boards to manage the increase in broadband and mobile data consumption and to ensure the quality of service. The market for SFF boards will rise as a result of this.

"Excellent Connectivity and Power Delivery to Multiply the Network and Market Growth"

The industry is fueled by consumer demand for portable computing devices and the quick adoption of next-generation LTE cellular networks. Additionally, it is projected that the industry will grow faster due to the sharp rise in mobile data traffic. Even though they are small, SFF boards typically offer a variety of connecting choices. They frequently have USB, audio, Ethernet, and video output connectors. The number of ports, however, may vary depending on the particular motherboard model. They frequently require special considerations for power distribution. Compared to ATX motherboards, they could need a power supply with a lower wattage. This is due to the limited space for power supply components in tiny cases used with SFF boards.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Several Challenges Associated with the Expansion Slots to Restrain the Market Growth"

SFF boards typically feature fewer expansion slots than ATX or bigger form factors because of their smaller size. One PCI Express slot, for example, is commonly available on a mini-ITX board for a graphics card or additional expansion cards. More expansion slots, usually up to four, are available on micro-ATX boards, allowing for the inclusion of extra components like sound cards or Wi-Fi modules. Therefore, the slots due to its smaller size is restraining the SFF board market growth.
