Computer on Module Market

Global Computer on Module Market Size (2024 to 2029):

The size of the global computer on module market was worth USD 1.29 Billion in 2023. The global market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.37% from 2024 to 2029 and be worth USD 1.87 billion by 2029 from USD 1.37 billion in 2024. 

MARKET SCENARIO

A computer-on-module (COM) is a subtype of an embedded computer system that is a sort of single-board computer (SBC). In nature, COM is a hybrid of a full-fledged computer and a microcontroller. It is an extension of the concepts of system on chip (SoC) and system in package (SiP). Complete embedded computers built on a single circuit board are known as COMs. The architecture is centred on a single-board CPU with RAM, input/output controllers, and all other characteristics required for a working computer. Unlike a single-board computer, however, the COM frequently lacks the conventional connectors needed to connect any input/output peripherals to the board directly.The module is commonly installed on a carrier board (sometimes known as a "baseboard") that divides the bus into standard peripheral connectors. Peripheral connectors are available on some COMs. Some of them can be used without the usage of a carrier. A COM solution provides a compact computer system for use in small or specialised applications that require low power consumption or a small physical footprint, such as embedded devices. Even complicated CPUs, including multi-core technologies, can be achieved on a COM due to its small size and high integration.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The Global Computer on Module Market is predicted to be driven by increasing industrial automation. one of the major factors contributing to the surge in demand for COM in recent years has been the expanding trend of industrial automation.

A better increase in industry automation has resulted from an understanding of robotics, supervisory control, and data acquisition (SCADA), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other new technologies. As a result of increased efficiency and production, industrial automation lowers total industrial expenses. As a result of these causes, industrial automation is rapidly developing in a variety of countries around the world. Another driving aspect for the Global Computer on Module Market is projected to be favourable market developments for robotics and the introduction of Industry 4.0. The robotics industry has achieved a number of key milestones, resulting in increased robotics utilization across a wide range of industries. Advances in system architecture are projected to promote the growth of the computer or system on module sector. Customers also want to deploy smart industrial applications to improve the performance and efficiency of their operations. For the Global Computer on Module Market, IoT security is projected to be a major restraining factor. IoT security is a big concern in the computer-on-module market. COMs and other SBCs are the most important components in developing IoT. They are important in the development of the Internet of Things because their smaller form factor allows OEMs and ODMs to manufacture compact devices and equipment. To achieve high-security requirements, it is important to first establish secure IoT access for the machines' network. With the increased demand for IoT security, COM manufacturers must take into account many of these concerns and design modules in such a way that hackers are unable to steal sensitive information. As a result, vendors will have to spend a lot of time designing and testing new COM modules that can help with IoT security. This could stifle the market's expansion over the predicted period.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

With more and more technical developments, the Computer on module Market also has wider opportunities than before. Using a Computer on a module, the AI can be integrated into almost any tech, making it smarter with adaptability. Computers on the module are being used in cars to make them smarter and even self-driving, raising the safety norms and standards in the overall car.

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Computer on Module Market Analysis By Processor

ARM Processor Segment is expected to have the dominant share in the Global Computer on Module Market During the Forecast Period. The core of an ARM microcontroller is a load store reducing instruction set computer architecture, which means it can't directly access memory. The registers must perform data operations, and the information is stored in memory using an address. Other components of the ARM processor include the Program status register, which holds the processor flags (Z, S, V and C). The modes bits, as well as the interrupt and quick interrupt disable bits, are found in the programme standing register; special registers such as the instruction, memory data read and write registers, and memory address register are also employed.

Global Computer on Module Market Analysis By Form Factor

COM Express Segment is expected to have the dominant share in the Global Computer on Module Market During the Forecast Period. COM Express, is a highly integrated and tiny computer that functions similarly to an integrated circuit component in a design application. The fundamental CPU and memory capabilities are integrated into each module. All I/O signals are routed to two low-profile, high-density connectors on the module's bottom side. A mezzanine-based technique is used by COM Express. The COM modules are often connected to a baseboard that is tailored to the application. Upgrades to newer, backwards-compatible versions of the COM Express mezzanine modules can be made over time. Industrial, military, aerospace, gaming, medical, transportation, Internet of Things, and general computer embedded applications all employ COM Express.

RECENT HAPPENINGS IN THE GLOBAL COMPUTER ON MODULE MARKET

• SGET raises the bar for embedded modules by releasing a design guide. In comparison to any Gen1 standard, the new OSM standard provides machine solderable Computer-on-Modules with cost savings in assembly and test in series production. Another advantage of OSM 1.1 is that it allows for smaller form factors in terms of pinout to module size ratio.

• The AbacusBasic, a computer integrated inside a keyboard, is unveiled by Pentaform. It comes with Windows 10 and all of the software you'll need to get started with computers.
