The system on module market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of AI-enabled SOMs, increasing deployment in IoT devices, growing demand in medical and healthcare equipment, increasing need for real-time processing in transportation, rising demand for modular and scalable embedded platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturized embedded processing solutions, modular hardware and software integration, low-power and high-performance soms, application-specific som customization, real-time processing for industrial automation.
The growing adoption of cloud-based applications is expected to drive the growth of the system on module market in the coming years. Cloud-based applications are software solutions that are accessed and operated over the internet rather than being installed on local computers or servers. System on modules support smooth integration with cloud-based applications through their modular and standardized architecture, which simplifies development processes, improves scalability, and enhances the efficiency and reliability of connected systems. For example, in January 2023, according to a survey of 1,900 executives conducted by Google Cloud Platform, a US-based provider of modular cloud services, about 41.4% reported increased usage of cloud-based services, while 33.4% planned to transition from traditional enterprise software to cloud-based tools in 2022. Therefore, the rising use of cloud-based applications is contributing to the growth of the system on module market.
Key companies operating in the system on module market are increasingly emphasizing partnerships to strengthen their market presence and profitability. In the context of system on modules, partnerships refer to collaborative relationships between organizations within the technology ecosystem. For instance, in March 2023, Toradex, a Switzerland-based provider of embedded computing solutions, partnered with Texas Instruments Inc., a US-based semiconductor manufacturer, to introduce the Verdin AM62. Powered by the TI Sitara AM62x processor, the Verdin AM62 includes four high-performance 64-bit Armv8 Cortex-A53 cores designed for industrial automation applications. Its pin-compatible architecture supports scalability, while integrated over-the-air updates, device monitoring, and remote access through Torizon enable a wide range of use cases. With hardware-accelerated graphics and multiple display interfaces, it is well suited for graphical human-machine interface applications. The Easy Installer allows one-click operating system installation, and the collaborative approach with ecosystem partners enhances the overall customer experience.

Tariffs have significantly impacted the system on module market by increasing the cost of imported semiconductors, memory chips, processors, and embedded components that are critical for SOM manufacturing. This has led to higher production costs and slowed adoption in regions heavily dependent on imports, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Segments such as ARM architecture modules, x86 architecture modules, and industrial automation applications are most affected. Despite the challenges, tariffs are encouraging local production of components and stimulating innovation in cost-efficient SOM solutions. Companies are diversifying supply chains, increasing domestic manufacturing, and optimizing designs to mitigate import dependency. Over time, these measures may strengthen supply chain resilience and create opportunities for regional suppliers.
