The rising high-speed internet connectivity is expected to drive growth in the serializer-deserializer (SerDes) market. High-speed connectivity allows rapid transmission of large volumes of data across networks, supported by expanding mobile networks that provide wider and more affordable internet access, including in remote areas. SerDes technology enhances these ecosystems by converting parallel data into serial form and back, reducing signal loss and latency while supporting high-bandwidth applications. For example, in 2023, the International Telecommunication Union reported that global internet users increased from 5.1 billion (64% penetration) in 2022 to 5.4 billion (67% penetration) in 2023, reflecting growing demand for efficient data transmission and network performance.

Major companies in the serializer-deserializer (SerDes) market are concentrating on developing advanced products, such as mixed-signal and digital signal-processing (DSP) architectures, to increase data rates, enhance efficiency, and support high-bandwidth applications. Mixed-signal and DSP architectures are design methodologies that integrate both analog and digital signal-processing capabilities within a single system, allowing efficient management of real-world signals and complex computations for high-speed data transmission and processing. For example, in April 2023, Cadence Design Systems Inc., a US-based IP and EDA company, introduced its 112G Extended Long-Reach (112G-ELR) SerDes IP on TSMC’s N4P process. The architecture is described as DSP-based, flexible-rate SerDes IP, optimized for PPA to support next-generation cloud networking, AI/ML, and 5G wireless applications.

In July 2023, Cadence Design Systems Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired PHY IP assets from Rambus Inc. This acquisition expands Cadence’s SerDes and memory interface portfolio, strengthening its position in data centers, networking, and high-performance computing while enabling faster development of high-bandwidth, multi-standard systems. Rambus Inc. specializes in developing serializer-deserializer technologies.

A serializer-deserializer (SerDes) is a device that converts parallel data into serial data for efficient transmission and then reconverts it into parallel data at the receiver. It facilitates high-speed data transfer over communication channels by reducing the number of physical connections while maintaining data integrity. SerDes is commonly used in networking, high-speed interfaces, and chip-to-chip communications.

The main types of serializer-deserializer (SerDes) include analog SerDes, digital SerDes, and mixed-signal SerDes. An analog SerDes is a high-speed communication device that converts parallel analog signals into serial form for transmission and then back into parallel form at the receiver. These devices are available in various deployment formats, including integrated SerDes components, discrete SerDes components, and FPGA-based SerDes solutions, and support different channel types such as short-reach and long-reach. Applications span optical fiber communications, consumer electronics, automotive, data centers and cloud computing, telecommunications, aerospace and defense, industrial automation, and more.
