Industry Overview
The projected market size for Micro Server IC is USD 1.8 billion in 2023, expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.5% to reach USD 3.6 billion by 2030.
Micro servers are economical and miniature servers whose parts are narrowed and scaled back, aiding them to be packed in clusters. They are typically based on a small form factor, a system-on-chip (SoC) board that can pack the CPU, memory, and system I / O into a single integrated circuit. Due to the small size of the board, a dense cluster of microservers can be built and save data center space. Factors propelling the growth of micro server IC market include less power consumption, less space utilization of micro servers, increasing trend of cloud computing and web hosting, and the advent of hyper-scale data center architectures. A microprocessor server IC integrates a large number of semiconductors, including resistors, transistors, or capacitors. Thus, the increasing trend for virtualization and demand for miniaturization will bolster the growth of the micro server IC market.
The microserver IC market has seen an adverse impact due to the COVID19 outbreak as there was a slow down in manufacturing utilization, travel bans, and closure of facilities. Nevertheless, the pandemic has increased the trend in remote work, e-commerce, and automation which provide promising opportunities in micro server IC market.
