Key trends in the forecast period include the adoption of resistive RAM technology (RRAM), innovations in products, advancements in technology, strategic partnerships.

The surge in demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive semiconductor market. Despite the economic impact of COVID-19 leading to reduced demand for traditional petrol and diesel cars, there has been a notable uptick in the demand for electric and hybrid vehicles. The global shift towards emissions-free driving, driven by climate concerns and the pursuit of net-zero emissions, is a significant factor in this trend. The adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles not only contributes to environmental goals but also offers economic benefits, including reduced fuel costs and a shift towards locally produced power for vehicles. As of March 2023, data from the International Energy Agency indicates that the electric car market experienced remarkable growth, surpassing 10 million units sold in 2022. Electric vehicles constituted 14% of all new car sales, reflecting a substantial increase from approximately 9% in 2021. Therefore, the growing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles is poised to drive the demand for automotive semiconductors in the forecast period.

The automotive semiconductor market is expected to be further propelled by increasing government initiatives. Major government organizations are making substantial investments in semiconductor research and development, with applications extending to various industries, including the automotive sector. In August 2022, the U.S. federal statute known as The CHIPS and Science Act allocated $52.7 billion for American semiconductor research and development. This investment included a dedicated $2 billion fund for the development of semiconductors used in legacy chips for automobiles. The proactive involvement of governments in advancing semiconductor technologies is anticipated to play a crucial role in driving the growth of the automotive semiconductor market in the foreseeable future.
