In the process of intelligentization of automobiles, more and more "new faces" have entered the automotive chip market. Recently, the semiconductor company MediaTek announced that it has officially entered the automotive chip market, cutting through four core areas of image-based advanced driver assistance systems, high-precision millimeter-wave radars, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and in-vehicle communication systems to provide global automotive manufacturers. System solutions, and plans to release the first automotive chip solutions in the first quarter of next year.
“As the automotive networking and autonomous driving vehicles continue to grow, more and more new technologies need to be introduced into the car. These new technologies need to be realized by semiconductor technology, including computer computing power, communication capabilities, multimedia technology, and soft. The hardware integration capability has provided us with the opportunity to overtake the curve in the automotive chip market.†Xu Jingquan, deputy general manager of Unifa Technology and general manager of the new business development department, told the “First Financial Daily†reporter.
It is not the MediaTek family that is optimistic about the smart car chip market. Not long ago, Qualcomm acquired the Dutch businessman NXP for $47 billion, and with the largest acquisition in the history of semiconductors, Qualcomm became a heavyweight player in the automotive chip market.
In response to the slowdown in PC sales, Intel's transformational reach is also in the automotive sector. It has acquired Yogitech, a provider of security tools for autonomous vehicle chips, Arynga, software upgrade management technology and service provider, Itseez, a computing vision software company, and machines. Visual company Movidius launched the "Smart Connected Cockpit Platform".
Although NXP, Infineon, Renesas, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, etc. have always been the main suppliers of traditional automotive chips, the value chain of the automotive industry is also being reshaped in the industrial transformation of intelligent and automated vehicles. This will undoubtedly bring transformation opportunities for chip companies such as intelligent software systems and processors.
In Xu Jingquan's view, so many semiconductor manufacturers in the automotive chip market, the main reason is that the autopilot market and automotive electronics, semiconductors have maintained a high growth rate, especially related to safety, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), The field of information and communication is a relatively large area.
How big is the “money†scene in the automotive chip market? From the perspective of the entire automotive market, according to the consulting firm StrategyAnalyTIcs, the passenger car market has been increasing from 2015 to 2017, with an annual growth rate of 2% to 3%, of which the Chinese mainland is a very important high-growth area.
The average annual compound growth rate of automotive semiconductor revenues remained at around 6.2%, exceeding the growth rate of the car itself. The semiconductor spending on semiconductors is almost $565 in 2016 and is expected to reach $610 by 2018. “The number of semiconductors in each car will increase and the value will increase,†Xu Jingquan explained.
