Major trends in the forecast period include advanced semiconductor miniaturization and process node scaling, heterogeneous integration and chiplet-based architectures, low power and energy efficient integrated circuit design, supply chain diversification and semiconductor manufacturing localization, rising demand for high bandwidth memory and high speed interconnects in consumer devices.

The increasing adoption of smartphones is anticipated to drive the expansion of the consumer market in the coming years. A smartphone is a mobile device that connects to the internet and allows users to make calls, send messages, and use various applications for work, entertainment, and everyday tasks. Smartphones are becoming more widespread because people require a single portable device to access apps, the internet, and digital services anytime and anywhere. Consumers contribute to smartphone growth by using them for communication, entertainment, and daily activities, which encourages companies to enhance performance, design, and functionality. For example, in October 2025, according to Demand Sage, a U.S.-based technology company, smartphone penetration in the United States reached 82.2% in 2023, up from 76.5% in 2022. Therefore, the increasing adoption of smartphones is fueling the growth of the consumer market.

Leading companies operating in the consumer market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as, intelligent audit management systems to streamline compliance processes, improve supply chain transparency, and reduce operational risk. An intelligent audit management system is a technology-driven solution that automates audit workflows and utilizes data analytics to enhance compliance tracking and identify risks in real time. For example, in April 2026, Worldly Holdings Inc., a US-based sustainability and supply chain intelligence platform, introduced an AI powered solution called Supplier Compliance Management to assist consumer goods brands in simplifying audit processes and lowering supply chain risk. The platform integrates social audit data, brand codes of conduct, and corrective action plans into a single system, automatically aligning findings with global standards such as International Labour Organization (ILO) core labor standards. This enables brands to manage compliance more strategically while reducing repetitive audits for suppliers, ultimately supporting safer, more sustainable products for end consumers.

In August 2025, Rosebank Industries plc, a UK-based industrial holding company, acquired Electrical Components International, Inc. (“ECI”) for approximately US$ 1.9 billion. With this acquisition, Rosebank seeks to build a global platform in electrical distribution and connectivity, leveraging ECI’s extensive engineering capabilities, manufacturing footprint, and customer relationships. Electrical Components International Inc. is a US-based manufacturing company that specializes in providing electronic products.
