Plentiful Technological Innovation for 2023

I’m optimistic about the plentiful technological innovation coming in 2023 and foresee a positive outlook for the semiconductor industry. We can expect some of those advances coming from the automotive and IoT segments thanks to the rapid advancements with artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The USB and PCIe markets should offer up some innovation, news and new USB technology as well as consumers and hyperscalers demand higher bandwidth, faster speed and reliable access. It seems high-speed, energy-efficient chip-to-chip link solutions to improve the way the world connects and communicates has never been more important and the semiconductor industry is responding.

From a more global perspective, the U.S. took a leadership role with the signing of the CHIP Act in 2022, a great benefit to for semiconductor. That said, the ongoing conflicts throughout the world could unsettle semiconductor industry a bit in 2023, some markets will suffer and consumer-side spending could be reduced.

Although chip shortage seems mostly to be behind us, the current economic situation, aggravated by inflation and energy crisis, continues to bring uncertainty to the semiconductor market. Disturbing geopolitical picture due to the war in Ukraine and US-China chip ban battle are shifting our focus to attempts to overcome the divisions instead of jointly working on finding the solutions for the benefit of us all and our planet which is still our only home.

Nevertheless, the demand for new analog and mixed signal circuits remains strong, driven by strong growth markets such as electric vehicles and energy transition in general, even with slowdown in investments observed towards the end of the year.
