At the fifth RISC-V China Summit held in Shanghai, Andrea Gallo, CEO of the RISC-V International Foundation, stated in his speech that by 2031, RISC-V chips are expected to capture significant shares in six major markets: consumer electronics (39%), computers (33%), automotive (31%), data centers (28%), industrial (27%), and network communications (26%), with total shipments exceeding 20 billion units.
On July 17, 2025, the 2025 RISC-V China Summit will officially take place in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, China. Mr. Andrea Gallo, CEO of the RISC-V International Foundation, will deliver a keynote speech titled “From Instruction Set Architecture to Industrial Implementation: Accelerating Technological Progress and Promoting RISC-V Applications in 2025,” introducing the latest developments in the RISC-V industry and emphasizing the “indispensable” key role of Chinese companies and developers in the explosive growth of the RISC-V ecosystem.
Andrea Gallo pointed out that global standards serve as a catalyst for promoting technological innovation, such as the USB standard and internet protocols. RISC-V is also an international standard similar to these, being an open international industry standard that developers can download and use without restrictions or licensing fees. Whether you are in the United States, Europe, or Asia, you can develop your products based on RISC-V. “RISC-V is ready for even greater achievements in 2025.”
The success of RISC-V has extended from the embedded computing field to storage technology and high-performance computing (HPC), fully demonstrating the strong momentum of this architecture. The progress of RISC-V is rapid, and the industry will embrace broader applications in the future. According to statistics and forecasts from the SHD Group, the market penetration rate of RISC-V-based SoC (system-on-chip) chips is expected to grow from 5.9% in 2024 to 25.7% by 2031, with RISC-V shipments exceeding 20 billion units by 2031.
Andrea Gallo emphasized, “The contributions and support from our Chinese members have brought greater benefits and support to the RISC-V family. We are also committed to more collaborations in the future that can provide more assistance to engineers worldwide. I would like to thank all the technology leaders from various companies in China and Asia who have served as chairs or vice-chairs of the entire technical working group, helping us make outstanding contributions in different regions around the world and promoting the vigorous development of RISC-V.”
