The system-on-chip (SOC) test equipment market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.43% between 2023 and 2028. The market size is forecast to increase by USD 2.26 billion. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including the increasing demand for SoCs due to their benefits, the growth of fabless companies causing a rise in demand from the entire manufacturing value chain, and the shortening of product life cycle. SoC is an integrated circuit used in consumer electronics such as smartphones and smartwatches. It is also used in hardware deployed in IT and telecommunication infrastructure, automotive systems, and others such as STBs and PCs. SoC is similar to a printed circuit board (PCB) on which many chips and components are assembled. The only difference between a SoC and a PCB is that the former enables the integration of several components on a single chip.
The report includes a comprehensive outlook on the System-on-Chip (SOC) Test Equipment Market, offering forecasts for the industry segmented by Application, which comprises consumer electronics, IT and telecommunication, automotive, and others. Additionally, it categorizes End-user into integrated device manufacturer (IDM), foundry, and design hous, and covers Geography regions, including APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa. The report provides market size, historical data spanning from 2018 to 2022, and future projections, all presented in terms of value in USD billion for each of the mentioned segments.

The shortening of the product life cycle is a key factor driving market growth. The PLC of an IC has been declining rapidly due to semiconductor companies continually improving chip performance by packing more components onto a single chip. This increase in complexity is especially notable in Mixed Signal SoCs. As a result, old SoC test equipment becomes obsolete for cost-effective testing of these advanced SoCs.
Consequently, the demand for Automated Test Equipment that can handle complex SoCs cost-effectively is rising among SoC manufacturers. Therefore, a consistent decline in the lifecycle of SoCs is increasing the demand for such advanced test equipment, driving market growth.
The risk of trade wars that adversely affect demand for electronics is the primary trend in the market. The US and China are currently engaged in a trade war that has the potential to increase the prices of electronic products, including telecommunication equipment for 5G networks and smartphones. One of the biggest reasons for this ongoing trade war is a very high trade deficit that the US runs with China. This is expected to increase the prices of SoC devices.
Besides, although the US designs most of the SoCs produced globally, most of the manufacturing is sent to OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) service providers in China for assembly, testing, and packaging. Thus, a significant portion of electronics equipment manufacturing in the US is now subject to tariffs, potentially impacting market growth. This situation could lead to declining consumption of electronic equipment in the US, affecting various sectors including the demand for cable testers. As uncertainties surrounding tariffs and trade policies persist, industries reliant on electronic equipment may experience fluctuations in demand and investment, influencing the overall market dynamics during the forecast period. These factors underscore the interconnected nature of global supply chains and their implications for market stability and growth in sectors such as cable testers and electronic testing equipment.
SoC applications limited to compact or mobile computing devices is a challenge that affects market growth. SoCs are suitable for mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets. In these devices, energy efficiency is an essential requirement than processing capabilities to extract maximum run time from a given battery. However, desktop computers, which are connected to grid power and used for diverse applications that require very large RAM and add-on features such as GPU for gaming applications, do not rely on SoCs.
Likewise, most of the servers in a data center continue to use central processing units (CPUs) as opposed to SoC. This is because SoCs do not offer the flexibility of upgrading them as CPUs do. This limits the number of applications of SoCs. This will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the consumer electronics segment will be significant during the forecast period. Most consumer electronics are now offered with integrated batteries. The use of SoC in consumer electronics reduces power consumption and increases run time on single charges. In addition, SoC also helps in the miniaturization of consumer electronic products. Thus, the adoption of SoC in consumer electronic devices is increasing. This is driving the demand for SoC test equipment.

The consumer electronics segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 1.18 billion in 2018. The rising application of the IoT in home appliances is expected to change the dynamics of the consumer electronics industry. Manufacturers are focusing on integrating the IoT with consumer electronics such as televisions, refrigerators, and other home appliances. Furthermore, the increasing penetration of smart technologies and the growing trend of smart homes are expected to propel the demand for consumer electronics. This will provide a high growth opportunity for the market players of SoC test equipment in the consumer electronics market segment during the forecast period.
The Integrated Devices Manufacturer (IDM) segment plays an important role in the global System-on-Chip (SOC) test equipment market. SoC test equipment is essential in the semiconductor industry for ensuring the quality and reliability of SoC devices during the manufacturing process. Companies that develop, produce, and sell their own semiconductor chips instead of contracting out these tasks to outside foundries are referred to as IDMs. Furthermore, the significance of SoC testing for IDM enterprises is further enhanced by the advent of cutting-edge technologies such as edge computing, 5G, and artificial intelligence. Therefore, the increased adoption of such technologies will drive the growth of the Integrated device manufacturer (IDM) segment in the market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 71% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The demand for SoC test equipment in APAC is expected to be driven by increasing investments in the telecommunication network infrastructure, rising demand for mobile communication devices, and increasing deployment of advanced electronics by automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In addition, APAC is recording significant growth in the implementation of 4G/5G networks. This is owing to the significant growth potential of 4G and 5G technologies in emerging economies such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and India.
Another major factor contributing to the growth of the market in APAC is the presence of a substantial number of consumer electronic device OEMs. In APAC, countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are the major hubs of electronic device OEMs such as SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS, Sony, Acer Inc., and others. Low labor costs and the availability of raw materials offer the market players an advantage of manufacturing the same products at a relatively lower price than in the other regions. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth in this region during the forecast period.
