What is MCU?

A microcontroller (also known as a microcontroller unit, MCU) is a microprocessor chip designed for control processing for specific applications, with a working frequency (ranging from 1MHz to 200 MHz) and power consumption generally lower than that of PC and mobile phone CPUs/MPUs. Today’s MCUs are system-on-chip (SoC), integrating various functional modules and interfaces on a single chip, including memory, I/O ports, clocks, A/D conversion, PWM, etc., as well as data transmission interfaces such as SPI, I2C, and ISP.

MCUs can be classified by bit count into 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit microprocessors, with 32-bit MCUs becoming mainstream, gradually replacing applications and markets previously dominated by 8/16-bit MCUs. When classified by instruction set architecture (ISA), MCU types include 8051, Arm, MIPS, RISC-V, POWER, etc. MCUs based on Arm Cortex-M series core IP have become the market mainstream for 32-bit MCUs, and in recent years, open-source RISC-V microprocessors have also begun to gain popularity, especially in the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) field.

Current Status and Trends of MCU Products and Applications in 2020

• 32-bit Becomes Mainstream, Low Power Consumption is Key

32-bit MCUs generally operate at frequencies between 100-350MHz, offering better processing capability and execution efficiency than 8/16-bit MCUs, with a wider range of applications. System manufacturers, for their product development efficiency and project management needs, tend to choose core processors that are cost-effective and easy to obtain design resources. Therefore, Arm cores, which meet manufacturer needs and have a rich ecosystem, have become the mainstream direction for 32-bit MCUs, and their advantages and market share will continue to grow.

Additionally, with the adoption of advanced process technologies, the cost of 32-bit MCUs is decreasing year by year, and their average selling price (ASP) is gradually approaching that of 8-bit MCUs. As early as 2015, global shipments of 32-bit MCUs had already surpassed the combined shipments of 4-bit, 8-bit, and 16-bit MCUs, accounting for 54% of the overall MCU market. It is expected that 32-bit MCUs will continue to maintain rapid growth, with market share exceeding 60% in 2020.

Low power consumption is a core indicator of MCU devices, as many MCUs are built into battery-powered electronic devices, and insufficient battery life can severely impact user experience in the consumer sector. The requirements in the industrial sector are even stricter, such as sensor nodes used to detect displacement and deformation on tunnels or bridges, some of which rely solely on battery power and are required to operate normally for over ten years. In the emerging AloT field, the number of sensor nodes is vast, and the power consumption of the main control chip and the battery life of connected devices directly affect product usability.

• Automotive Electronics Become the Biggest Driving Force for Long-term Development of MCU

Automotive electronics applications have already accounted for over one-third of the MCU market, and the automation, electrification, intelligence, and connectivity of automobiles are rapidly driving the development of the automotive electronics industry, significantly boosting the demand for highly integrated MCU devices. At the same time, as system complexity increases, automotive MCUs are gradually upgrading from 8/16-bit to 32-bit, with increasing quantities. For example, in ADAS systems, Level 2 vehicles are equipped with features such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and emergency braking, which require high-performance MCUs for processing and control of analog data from numerous onboard sensors and cameras. Future higher-level autonomous driving systems are expected to accelerate the growth of the MCU market.

• Impact of the Pandemic, Temperature Measurement Devices Unexpectedly Drive Surge in MCU Demand

The pandemic has driven the temperature measurement device market, leading to a rapid increase in demand that exceeds supply, significantly boosting the demand for sensors, MCUs, and operational amplifiers. It is expected that the total production of handheld temperature measurement devices in China will reach 650,000 units in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 117%, and global infrared MCU shipments will show a leap in growth.

Global MCU Market Size and Growth Forecast

According to relevant research institutions, the global MCU overall market size was $16.4 billion in 2019, with an estimated annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 6% from 2019 to 2024. MCU applications are mainly concentrated in automotive electronics, industrial control/medical, computer networking, and consumer electronics, accounting for 33%, 25%, 23%, and 10%, respectively.

In the first half of this year, due to the overall weakness of the global electronic supply chain, slowdown in automobile sales, and the impact of the international trade environment, the overall market size of MCUs has declined; however, since mid-year, signs of market stabilization have emerged, and a moderate rebound is expected in 2020. According to IC Insights, global MCU sales are projected to reach $24 billion by 2022.

In the 2020 global MCU market share forecast, 32-bit MCUs are expected to account for 62%, 16-bit for 23%, and 4/8-bit for 15%. By 2024, it is expected that 32-bit MCUs will reach 71%, while the share of 4/8/16-bit MCUs will gradually decline.

Chinese MCU Market Size and Growth Forecast

According to IHS data statistics, from 2008 to 2018, the average annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of the Chinese MCU market was 7.2%, four times the growth rate of the global MCU market during the same period. In 2019, the size of the Chinese MCU market reached 25.6 billion yuan. Currently, the growth of China’s IoT and new energy vehicle industries is leading globally, and it is expected that the size of the Chinese MCU market will exceed 26.8 billion yuan in 2020, with market growth still leading globally.

According to relevant research institutions, in 2019, the Chinese MCU application market was mainly concentrated in home appliances/consumer electronics, computer networking and communications, automotive electronics, smart cards, and industrial control/medical fields, accounting for 25.6%, 18.4%, 16.2%, 15.3%, and 11.2%, respectively. Among them, the demand growth for automotive electronics and industrial control applications is the fastest, with expectations that by 2023, the market share for industrial/medical electronics will catch up with consumer electronics, reaching 9.2 billion yuan.

Market Competitiveness of Domestic MCU Manufacturers

Currently, domestic MCU manufacturers mainly compete in mid-to-low-end application fields such as consumer electronics, smart cards, and water, electricity, and gas meters, but in high-potential and high-profit fields such as industrial control, automotive electronics, and IoT markets, they are monopolized by foreign MCU manufacturers. It is expected that in 2020, domestic MCU manufacturers’ sales will reach 14.8 billion yuan, accounting for 55% of the entire Chinese MCU market. From 2019 to 2020, the demand for smart cards in the ETC and 5G markets surged, causing the market share of smart card applications to exceed 15%, which is expected to gradually slow down after 2021, with share gradually declining.

Although the US export restrictions on chips to China have negatively affected OEM manufacturers such as Huawei, they have indirectly driven the heat of “domestic substitution,” creating great opportunities for domestic MCU manufacturers. It is expected that by 2023, the shipment volume of domestic MCU manufacturers will grow to 25.6 billion yuan, with the share of the consumer electronics MCU market reaching 86%.

According to the financial reports of listed companies of domestic MCU manufacturers in 2019, Zhongying Electronics ranked first with an MCU sales of 779 million yuan; Zhaoyi Innovation’s MCU revenue was 443 million yuan; Shanghai Beiling’s MCU revenue was 231 million yuan; and Neusoft’s revenue was 212 million yuan. For example, Zhaoyi Innovation’s MCU business accounted for 2.09% of the domestic overall MCU market in 2018. In the domestic high-end MCU market, Zhaoyi Innovation’s market share is 9.4%. The company is actively laying out the 32-bit general-purpose MCU market and has formed a product matrix of nearly 20 series and over 300 models, with new products represented by the ARM Cortex-M4 series entering the high-end market, while also beginning mass production of MCU chips based on the RISC-V core. Domestic MCU manufacturers like Zhaoyi Innovation still have significant growth potential in the future, especially in the emerging fields of IoT, automotive electronics, and industrial control.
