Europe MPU Market Analysis
The Europe MPU Market size is estimated at USD 2.36 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.18 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The Europe Microprocessor (MPU) Market is valued at USD 2.09 billion in the previous year and is expected to reach USD 3.04 million, growing at a CAGR of around 6.2% during the forecast period.
- A microprocessor or microprocessor unit (MPU) is a programmable device that receives binary data from an input device, processes the data according to the instructions kept in the memory, and delivers results as output. In other words, the microprocessor performs the program stored in the memory and transmits data to and from the external world through I/O ports.
- The growth of the microprocessor market in the European region is anticipated to be driven by several end-user industries like automotive, industrial, telecommunications, and healthcare. Several EV manufacturers are setting their European manufacturing sites to benefit from its efficient automotive manufacturing industry.
- For instance, in March 2022, Tesla Inc. obtained the necessary local licenses in Germany to produce electric vehicles at its new plant outside Berlin. When fully operational, the Berlin facility is expected to produce 500,000 vehicles annually, most of which will be Model Y compact crossovers. Such extensive consumption and demand for EVs in the region are anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive MPU market during the forecast period.
- The government is involved in expanding the semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the region, which is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in April 2024, the Italian government has plans to invest around USD 10 billion into the semiconductor industry this year, where it plans to become one of the biggest microelectronics products in Europe.
Europe MPU Market Trends
Growth of 5G Communication Technology in Region Drives the Market
- With the 5G technology being widely implemented across the region, these microprocessors are also being utilized in consumer electronics applications like desktop PCs, smartphones, tablets, and servers where the 5G technology are being operated along with microprocessor because of their quick processing speed, small size, and ease of maintenance.
- According to VIAVISION, in 2023, around 65 cities in Italy, 52 in France and 61in the United Kingdom where 5G was made available is expected to grow more over the forecasted period and would drive the microprocessor market in the region.
- Further, according to Ericsson, the total number of 5G subscriptions in Western Europe is anticipated to reach over 480 million by 2029. Earlier in 2023, there were 67 139 million 5G subscriptions in Western Europe, with a significant rise in the coming years, providing the market vendors for MPUs and the opportunity to expand their business.
- Besides, in March 2023, The Belgium government announced the winners of its 5G pilot project tender, where Mobile operator Orange emerged as the winner. It was elected to carry out 12 of these projects. Through these projects, the government aims to accelerate 5G innovation in Belgium which it says has suffered from a slower 5G rollout than most other EU, which will also impact and drive the market for microprocessors.
Growing Automotive Industry in the Region to Drive the Market
- Microprocessors are used in automobiles for numerous purposes, primarily for handling and managing different systems and features of the car, such as the engine, fuel injection, safety features, climate control, and entertainment systems, and enabling the vehicle systems to communicate and work together seamlessly, while permitting for better monitoring and diagnostics of the car's performance.
- Further, as per European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) report, in April 2022, around 831,000 passenger cars were sold in the region of Europe, of which about 180,300 units were sold in Germany, stayed the leading market for passenger car sales in Europe that month.
- Also, according to Statistisches Bundesamt (Federal Statistical Office is a federal authority of Germany), in 2022, the German automotive industry generated a revenue of around EUR 506 billion (USD 559.3 billion), which was an increase compared to around EUR 411 billion (USD 455.3) in 2021 and is anticipated to grow more ove coming future and drive the market for the microprocessor in the region.
- Various automotive system suppliers, OEMs, and Tier 1s in the market have also started to focus on developing microprocessors as software increasingly plays an important role in the automotive market. As such, such an increased focus on the development of MPU will positively impact the market.
Europe MPU Industry Overview
The market in the region is significantly consolidated with a significant intensity of competition. The market is also witnessing substantial investments by various players. Some of the development happening across the region includes.
- March 2023 - Renesas Electronics Corp. has unveiled a new industrial microprocessor (MPU), the RZ/T2L MPU, that helps the EtherCAT communication protocol, executing high-speed, precise real-time control for industrial systems. Further, it inherits the hardware architecture of its higher-end product, the RZ/T2M, and provides optimized solutions for the fast-growing EtherCAT communication market.
- March 2023 - Winbond Electronics Corporation and STMicroelectronics announced a partnership that groups Winbond's specialty memory ICs with ST's STM32 microcontrollers (MCUs) & microprocessors (MPUs). The partnership formalizes collaboration between the two associations to optimize integration & implementation and provide the long-term availability of Winbond and ST devices to complete the requirements of customers serving industrial markets.
