Japan Analog IC Market Analysis
The Japan Analog IC Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.74% during the forecast period.
The Japanese analog IC market was valued at USD 7.23 billion in the previous year. It is expected to register a CAGR of 5.74%, reaching USD 10.22 billion by the end of the forecast period. Japan's consumer electronics industry, one of the largest in the world, is one of the most significant factors driving the demand for analog ICs in the country.
- As per the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), due to the strong export performance of electronic devices and components that go along with the rising percentage of electronic components in vehicles and the effect of rising 5G measurement demand on electric measuring instruments, domestic production by the Japanese electronics industry increased by 2% to JPY 11,124.3 billion (~USD 70.92 billion)in 2022.
- It is anticipated that the production of electronic components and semiconductors will increase in 2023 as a result of increased investments in digitalization, industrial automation, and environmental protection, causing domestic output to increase by 3% annually to JPY 11,402.9 billion (~USD 72.69 billion). These factors may drive market growth during the projected period.
- Analog IC design focuses on creating circuits that operate in and are optimized for continuous time-domain behavior. With all the basic devices in an IC responding to continuous time stimulus, analog design forms the foundation for all IC design. Modern IC technology has many design challenges. There is significant variability in the manufacturing process for advanced technology nodes. The operation of a high number of devices on advanced ICs also results in variability, which manifests as changes in operating voltage, operating temperature, and performance. Analog design must compensate for these effects to ensure essential qualities like fidelity/precision, consistency, and performance.
- As the nation attempts to restore its semiconductor manufacturing sector, which was hampered by COVID-19-related supply chain disruptions, Japan is presently experiencing a scarcity of qualified workforce. The five years between now and 2030 are "the last and biggest chance for Japan's semiconductor industry to regain its footing" after years of losing global market share, according to an electronics industry body representing major manufacturers like Toshiba and Sony in an appeal to the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry in May 2022.
- According to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), in order to stay up with the rate of investment, eight major companies will need to employ roughly 35,000 engineers.
Japan Analog IC Market Trends
General Purpose IC (Power Management) Sub-segment is Expected to Hold a Considerable Share
- An integrated circuit that regulates the host system's power usage is known as a power management IC (PMIC). PMICs are used to generate an effective power supply in battery-operated portable electronics, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
- According to Business Insider, Japan has the third-largest economy in the world. According to the International Monetary Fund, this year will see the country's economy develop more quickly than it has at any point in the previous 12 years. Japan's expanding economy is promoting a thriving mobile sector. In 2022, 85% of the population in Japan used smartphones, and this percentage is expected to rise. Such an increase in smartphone use will drive market growth for power management ICs during the forecast period.
- Besides consumer electronics, PMICs are extremely utilized in automotive electronics. Japan has the third-largest automotive-producing industry. According to METI Japan, in 2022, 6.57 million passenger cars were produced in Japan. This growing trend may drive the market's growth for PMIC during the forecast period.
- In November 2022, Renesas Electronics Corporation revealed a cutting-edge vehicle power management IC (PMIC) for use in next-generation automotive camera applications. The RAA271082 is a flexible multi-rail power IC that complies with ISO-26262. It has a primary high-voltage synchronous buck regulator, two secondary low-voltage synchronous buck regulators, and a low-voltage LDO regulator.
- The company announced to acquire Steradian Semiconductors Private Limited on August 2022. The company wants to provide comprehensive automotive radar systems that integrate object identification software, power management ICs (PMICs), and timing devices with ADAS SoCs (System-on-Chips) for processing radar information. Together, these technologies may accelerate the development of new products and simplify the design of automotive radar systems.
Application-specific IC for Automotive is Expected to Hold a Considerable Share
- Application-specific ICs are designed for automotive end equipment, such as the infotainment systems that include information and passenger electronics systems. In addition, the ICs are also offered to the factory-installed GPS in automotive.
- The nation's major demand for analog ICs comes from the automobile industry. The development of autonomous cars is also boosting demand for analog integrated circuits. Some other trends that drive the application of analog ICs are increased connectivity, 5G capability, OTA updates, and more AI. In terms of increased connectivity, IoT is driving connected vehicles, and the need for onboard car communication devices is increasing as it allows quick access to data through smartphones.
- For instance, current law in Japan permits self-driving vehicles up to level 3, and commercial vehicles have been equipped with functions up to that level. In August 2022, the Japanese government passed a bill to introduce new rules for next-generation mobility, like unmanned self-driving vehicles, automated delivery robots, and electric kick scooters. Under the revised law, a licensing system would be introduced for operators of transport services using unmanned vehicles with Level 4 autonomy, which requires no driver in the remotely monitored vehicle within a limited area.
- According to JAMA, bus production increased 116.58% in the country between January 2022 - January 2023 compared to passenger cars and trucks. This growing trend will likely accelerate the market's growth for analog IC during the forecast period.
