The Field-Configurable Standard Product (FCSP) market continues to be one of the few semiconductor product segments that consistently posts year-over-year dollar growth, even in down years, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). This market is forecast to grow from $92.8 million in 2004 to $476.9 million by 2009. FCSPs are typically high-volume, low-cost products, made for a wide variety of end-use applications.
A recent report by In-Stat found the following:
- Communications, both wired and wireless segments, will dominate field-configurable standard product consumption, with the majority of applications being networking and telecom infrastructure, as well as a variety of wireless consumer-oriented products.
- Of the five major product field-configurable standard product categories defined — processor, DSP, PCI, SerDes, memory and other — the SerDes segment will represent the largest dollar segment.
- SRAM architecture will dominate FCSP shipments, followed by anti-fuse architecture. However, in the longer term, flash-based architecture will become dominant for size and cost reasons.
This Market Alert is drawn from the recent In-Stat report, Field-Configurable Standard Products (FCSPs): Configure It Your Way, which presents a comprehensive analysis of the Field-Configurable Standard Product (FCSP) market. The report forecasts future market growth and examines consumption of six functional categories by geographic region, along with comparisons of end-use consumption of this technology by geographic region. Also included is a discussion of the various players in the market, as well as those planning to enter the market within the next 24 months.
