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.

As we have seen before, this industry push/pull often prompts creativity that in turn produces untold innovations. My recent analogy is the pandemic years where we all sought distractions. Many of us turned to gaming and movies and availability of streaming services exploded during the pandemic. Both gaming and streaming services were often connected through TVs or PCs thanks to enabling technology like USB for high bandwidth, faster speed and reliable access.

For all these reasons and more, I am optimistic that we’ll see new technology and innovation in 2023 and the semiconductor industry will continue to thrive.
