Global Computer on Module Market to Grow 17.97% by 2020 - Advances in Transistor Technology is Boosting Growth - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Computer on Module Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global computer on module (COM) market to grow at a CAGR of 17.97% during the period 2016-2020.

An emerging market trend which is boosting market growth is advances in transistor technology. With advances in technology, vendors have been able to reduce manufacturing costs and improve power consumption. This enables them to achieve economies of scale as well as a competitive advantage. For instance, 22 nm-tri-gate transistor technology was replaced by more advanced 14 nm technology in 2014.

According to the report, a key growth driver is the longevity and reliability of COMs. Globalization and rising demand for connected devices, including IoT, have increased the need for servers at global level. Higher uplink time and reduced unplanned activities are important for a network orservice provider, especially in a cloud-based service, to implement industrial IoT-supporting hardware. COM is a major component of devices like servers and is essential for various rackmount applications. A lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of the manufacturer, along with improved performance, give the vendors a competitive edge over other contemporary technologies such as SBCs.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could restrict market growth is the failure to forecast market demand. Failures in forecasting demand can result in loss of revenue as well as provide opportunity for new suppliers to enter the market, which further increases the competition.
