The product has become significantly important for developers seeking ways to design products with greater intelligence, performance and connectivity while reducing power consumption, costs and size. Indeed, the product continues to evolve in sophistication, while its range of possibilities expand. For instance, nowadays SBCs come with features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibility making them ideal in applications associated with IoT (Internet of Things).

The deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) in almost all industrial applications will significantly boost the growth of the SBC market in the years to come. By using SBCs, manufacturers are now able to offer efficient IoT solutions to customers. The product has certainly propelled the growth of the IoT sector in the last few years, offering a much smoother commercialization. According to reports, business infrastructure and operations professionals are rapidly shifting towards IoT, while studies indicate that a major proportion of decision-makers are already using IoT-enabled applications from building connected products to transforming operational processes. With rising IoT adoption, IoT software providers like IBM, Cisco, Amazon, GE, and other giants are now developing solutions that simplify the design, creation, integration, and management of IoT infrastructure and enterprise data. This in consequence will majorly propel the product demand, eventually pushing SBC industry trends.

Technological advancements in embedded technology will boost the SBC market

Semiconductor processors, being the core of any SBC, are rapidly evolving to match the capability of modern day applications. To attract the vast tech-savvy customer base, engineers are constantly adopting advanced embedded technologies to gain a competitive edge. For instance, the neural processing unit (NPU) is anticipated to be the next focus for chipmakers as it helps speed up computer-vision applications, such as object and image recognition, and offers enterprises and manufacturers a more powerful platform for developing products used from smart building applications to driverless vehicles.

Prominent companies are investing heavily in the development of these new technologies. The Chinese tech giant Huawei, in collaboration with Linaro, recently launched its new SBC called HiKey 970 AI computing platform which uses the world’s first AI mobile processor, Huawei’s Hisilicon Kirin 970 chipset along with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU). This is quite vividly, an instance that demonstrates how product innovation and investments in technological advancements will add momentum to the expansion of the SBC industry.

Powered by rapid technological developments, single board computers have paved their way into medical sector as well. Medical devices are increasingly being integrated with SBCs to perform and monitor a wide range of clinical processes. The product’s reliability, power and versatility have made it ideal for developing customized medical electronic devices, medical monitoring systems, fault-tolerant wearable computers and more. Strategic partnerships between tech giants and medical healthcare firms will thus majorly augment the growth graph of SBC industry.

While SBC market has quite appreciable consolidated itself worldwide, the APAC is said to emerge as a prominent revenue pocket for this industry in the years to come. This may plausibly be the case on account of the expanding electronics industry in the region. With the presence of several consumer electronics and tech firms, the APAC SBC industry is anticipated to depict considerable growth over 2019-2025. Growing government support toward building in-house consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets and other gadgets in countries like India and China, will also boost the APAC single board market demand.

Being highly-scaled versions of traditional PCs and laptops, SBC are expected to continue finding long-term application in IoT-driven verticals and consumer electronics. Powered by rapid technological advancements in semiconductor processors and AI, single board computer market is forecast to chronicle itself in the billion-dollar business sphere by 2025.
