Market Expansion Driven by Advanced Applications and Regional Dynamics

November 14, 2025 /SemiMedia/ — The global field-programmable gate array (FPGA) market is entering a period of sustained expansion, driven by rising demand for configurable computing in data centers, 5G networks and automotive electronics. Research firm MarketsandMarkets expects the market to grow from US$11.7 billion in 2025 to nearly US$19.3 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of about 10%.

Technological Trends Shifting Demand Toward Advanced Process Nodes

The report notes that demand is increasingly shifting toward advanced process nodes, particularly devices built on 16nm and below. These FPGAs offer higher density and efficiency, making them suitable for AI acceleration, hyperscale data centers and next-generation networking equipment. More mature nodes, including 20–90nm and above, continue to serve industrial and communications applications.

Asia-Pacific’s Leadership in FPGA Innovation and Adoption

Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region, supported by strong semiconductor ecosystems in China, Japan, South Korea and India. Rapid 5G rollouts, industrial automation initiatives and expanding AI device deployment are all contributing to the region’s rising demand. Government programs encouraging local chip manufacturing and R&D investment are also strengthening APAC’s position as a key hub for FPGA innovation.

Competitive Landscape and Vendor Strategies 

Major vendors are stepping up product development amid the market’s momentum. AMD is broadening its high-performance FPGA portfolio for data center and telecom workloads, while Altera is expanding offerings for edge and industrial systems. Lattice Semiconductor continues to focus on low-power, compact FPGAs for consumer and IoT devices. Microchip Technology maintains a wide range covering entry-level to high-end devices, and Achronix is gaining traction in automotive and data-center markets with its eFPGA solutions.
