The peripheral component interconnect (PCI) communication interface cards market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.0 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period is driven by growing demand for high-speed data transfer, wider adoption of AIoT-enabled devices, expansion of industrial automation, increased need for secure communication interfaces, and the development of low-power PCI cards. Key trends expected during the forecast period include advancements in AI integration, enhanced serial communication protocols, creation of compact PCI cards, innovations in data security features, and improved compatibility with industrial automation systems.

The rising demand for high-speed data transmission is expected to drive the growth of the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) communication interface cards market in the future. High-speed data transmission involves rapidly sending large volumes of information from one location to another. This demand is fueled by the rapid expansion of internet-based applications such as video streaming, cloud computing, and online gaming, all of which require faster and more reliable data transfer to ensure smooth user experiences. PCI communication interface cards facilitate high-speed data transmission by offering a direct, low-latency connection between peripheral devices and the computer’s motherboard, optimizing data flow and minimizing bottlenecks. For example, in February 2024, a report by the Office of Communications (Ofcom), a UK government agency, indicated that average broadband download speeds in Northern Ireland increased by 40%, reaching 115 Mbit/s compared to 82 Mbit/s in 2022. Hence, the growing need for high-speed data transmission is propelling the growth of the PCI communication interface cards market.

Leading companies in the PCI communication interface cards market are concentrating on developing innovative products like high-speed multi-channel interface cards to improve data transfer rates and support complex networking applications. High-speed multi-channel interface cards are hardware components designed to enable simultaneous fast data transmission over multiple communication channels. For instance, in March 2023, TOSUN Electronics Co., Ltd., a South Korea-based electronics manufacturer, launched the MP1013 MiniPCIe CAN FD Card, a high-performance dual-channel interface card built for automated data acquisition and testing applications. The MP1013 supports microsecond-level hardware message timestamps and provides broad software compatibility through secondary development APIs for programming languages including C++, C#, LabVIEW, and Python. It facilitates real-time monitoring, analysis, and simulation of CAN and CAN FD bus networks, making it ideal for complex automotive applications such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) testing, electronic control unit flashing, and unified diagnostic services diagnosis. Its compact design allows easy integration into vehicle-mounted IPCs, single-board computers, and industrial notebooks.

In April 2022, MaxLinear, Inc., a US-based electronics company, partnered with Advantech to supply PCIe UARTs and multiprotocol serial transceivers for high-performance Industrial PCs aimed at the Industrial IoT market.
