The proliferation of connected smart devices and IoT has created new growth opportunities for manufacturers looking to deliver superior customer experiences at the edge. Analysts estimate that in 2020 the global embedded system market accounted for USD 86.5 billion, and is expected to reach USD 116.2 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 6.1% from 2020 to 2025.
Rapidly changing Embedded landscape
With growth comes significant challenges for manufacturers in many industries such as automotive, healthcare and transportation. New innovations bring with them widespread changes in hardware, systems, and security standards.
Fierce competition means manufacturers need to find a balance between reducing production costs and increasing the differentiation of their offerings. To be successful, they must find ways to optimize their product’s performance, deliver new functionality and bring their products to the market faster.
Embedded Linux & Industry Challenges
- As the number of IoT and Edge devices increase, so does the challenge of delivering timely security patches and software updates to a large and often diverse install base.
- The growth of embedded devices leads to the diversification in technology standards. To ensure customers benefit from rapidly evolving technology, enterprises will adopt new standards to support multi-cloud, public, hybrid, and private cloud use cases.
- Device manufacturers must find ways to accelerate the development and manufacturing of their embedded products. The use of the latest container technology will ensure the release of stable new products to market faster.
