Global Field Programmable Gate Array Market 2011-2015 - Market Research Report

The market for field-programmable gate array is expected to grow at a global compound annual growth rate of around 10% year-on-year until 2015. Key factors which are expected to influence growth in the market in the coming years includes the growth in demand for customizable ICs, and the rise in popularity for high performance ICs. Key players in this industry include QuickLogic, Microsemi Corp and Altera Corp.

The continuous increase in the size, volume, and complexities of the design has made the resistor–transistor logic (RTL) methodology reach its maximum. To simplify the complexities involved in the design process, IP reuse low-power design methodologies, and high-level synthesis (HLS) are being practiced by companies. HLS helps companies to reduce the manual effort required to produce RTL and to avoid syntax errors that are common in traditional methodologies.

The Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) integrated circuit (IC) industry is growing, while the potential competitor or replacement for FPGA, the ASIC industry, is slowing down. The features provided by FPGA ICs, such as the flexibility to create instant designs and modifications in the functionality of programs, attract electronic device manufacturing companies to adopt FPGA ICs rather than ASICs. Moreover, FPGA ICs help electronic device manufacturing companies to achieve a shorter time to market, minimize R&D costs, and modify or customize the functionalities of ICs post implementation.
