The increasing production of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) micro (MPU, MCU And DSP) market in the coming years. An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle that operates using electricity stored in batteries, relying on an electric motor instead of a conventional internal combustion engine. The rise in electric vehicles is primarily driven by environmental concerns, as they produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and supporting efforts to address climate change compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) microdevices, including MPUs, MCUs, and DSPs, support electric vehicles by enabling precise real-time control of critical functions such as regenerative braking, thermal management, and power electronics, thereby improving overall efficiency, safety, and vehicle range. For example, in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, electric vehicle sales in 2023 grew by 3.5 million units compared to 2022, representing a 35% year-on-year increase. Therefore, the increasing production of electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) micro (MPU, MCU And DSP) market.

The increasing adoption of industrial automation is anticipated to drive the growth of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) micro (MPU, MCU And DSP) market in the coming years. Industrial automation refers to the use of control systems, robots, and software to operate industrial machines and processes with minimal human intervention to enhance efficiency, quality, and safety. Industrial automation is expanding due to the demand for higher productivity, as automated systems can operate faster, continuously, and with fewer errors than manual labor, enabling industries to produce more output in less time while lowering operational costs. MOS microdevices (MPU, MCU, DSP) enable industrial automation by supporting real-time monitoring and control of machines, allowing systems to rapidly process sensor inputs and execute precise automated actions with high efficiency and reliability. For example, in April 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based international organization, in the United States, manufacturing companies have significantly increased their automation initiatives, with total industrial robot installations rising by 12% to 44,303 units in 2023. Therefore, the increasing adoption of industrial automation is fueling the growth of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) micro (MPU, MCU And DSP) market.

Leading companies operating in the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) micro (MPU, MCU and DSP) market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as, edge AI microcontrollers to enhance real-time data processing, minimize latency, and enable intelligent decision-making at the device level. An edge AI microcontroller is a microcontroller that executes artificial intelligence algorithms locally on the device to enable real-time data processing without relying on the cloud. For example, in December 2024, STMicroelectronics N.V., a Switzerland-based semiconductor company, introduced the STM32N6 series, its first family of edge AI microcontrollers, designed to run machine learning workloads locally on battery powered and cost sensitive devices without relying on the cloud. It is a high performance MCU series built on Arm Cortex M cores, with an in house Neural ART accelerator (NPU) that manages AI inference at the edge. It is positioned as the most powerful member of the STM32 family, offering approximately 600× more ML performance than previous high end STM32 MCUs by offloading neural network computations to the NPU.
