The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of autonomous vehicles, rising adoption of EVs, increasing complexity of in-vehicle electronics, demand for energy-efficient power management, growth of advanced driver assistance systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing integration of multiple vehicle functions into single sbcs, rising adoption of sbcs in electric and hybrid vehicles, growing demand for compact and highly reliable automotive electronics, increasing focus on functional safety and system diagnostics, advancements in power management and voltage regulation capabilities.

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is projected to drive growth in the system-basis chip market. EVs, which are powered by electric motors and rechargeable batteries instead of internal combustion engines, are gaining popularity due to environmental concerns, expanded charging infrastructure, and government incentives. System basis chips in EVs enhance efficiency, reduce power consumption, and enable advanced features such as battery management and vehicle-to-grid communication by managing power distribution and communication. For instance, the International Energy Agency reported in July 2023 that over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of the year, marking a 25% increase from the previous year. Sales are projected to reach 14 million by the end of 2023, representing a 35% year-on-year increase, with accelerated growth expected in the latter half of the year. This rising adoption of EVs is driving the system-basis chip market.

Key players in the system-basis chip market are developing automotive safety mini-controller area network flexible data-rate system basis chip (CAN FD SBC) devices to improve vehicle communication reliability and ensure robust safety and diagnostic capabilities. Mini CAN FD SBC devices are specialized integrated circuits designed for in-vehicle communication and safety, regulating and distributing power to various vehicle electrical systems. For example, in June 2024, NXP Semiconductors introduced the FS24 SBC, designed for high reliability in safety-critical applications. It features a battery-connected switched-mode regulator delivering up to 400 mA and a linear regulator providing up to 150 mA, supporting a broad range of microcontrollers and communication devices. The CAN-FD interface allows high-speed data transmission, essential for automotive communication networks, and the chip is optimized for low power consumption, with advanced settings using less than 40 µA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. The FS24 SBC supports features such as digital key functionality, proximity detection, and kick-sensing for trunk access, enhancing user convenience and safety.

In May 2023, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. acquired Autotalks for $350 million. This acquisition aims to strengthen Qualcomm's position in the expanding automotive semiconductor market, driven by the increasing complexity of vehicle electronics and the demand for advanced safety features. Autotalks, based in Israel, specializes in communications chips for vehicles.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the system-basis chip market by increasing costs of imported semiconductors, wafers, and specialized manufacturing equipment used in automotive-grade IC production. These effects are most prominent in automotive and industrial segments, particularly in regions dependent on global semiconductor supply chains such as Asia-Pacific and Europe. Higher production costs have slightly pressured pricing and lead times. However, tariffs have also encouraged localized chip manufacturing, supplier diversification, and long-term investments in domestic semiconductor ecosystems.

A system-basis chip (SBC) is an integrated circuit designed to perform essential functions for automotive systems and other complex electronic applications. It consolidates multiple critical operations into a single chip, reducing the need for separate components and enhancing system performance and reliability.

The main vehicle types utilizing system basis chips include passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and autonomous vehicles. Passenger cars, intended primarily for transporting people, rely on SBCs to manage electronic functions such as safety systems and engine control. SBCs provide various functionalities, including voltage regulation, diagnostics and supervision, drivers and switches, watchdog functions, wake-up logic, and power switches. They support different transmission rates, such as 2 megabits per second (Mbit/s) and 5 megabits per second (Mbit/s), and offer current ratings of 150 milliamperes (mA), 250 milliamperes (mA), and 500 milliamperes (mA). These chips are used in various applications, including powertrain, safety systems, body electronics, chassis, telematics, and infotainment.North America was the largest region in the system basis chip market in 2025.
