IC Insights forecast, the next five years, microcontroller (MCU), the average selling price is expected to slowly recover, output can also be a record year by year until 2020.

IC Insights research thinks, in the smart card and 32-bit MCU, the MCU market value slightly beyond 15.9 billion dollars this year, shipments reached 22.1 billion units, more years to grow 15%, hit a record high. MCU products, however, the average selling price (ASP) movements are relatively poor.

IC Insights survey pointed out that the 2015 MCU ASP the rest $0.72, a 13% cut in, to a record low prices; Although present quantity increases, the MCU industry price falls, but the follow-up industry outlook tend to be more optimistic, think MCU product price trend should be ended, ASP is expected to gradual recovery over the next five years.

IC Insights forecast, MCU, this year the average selling price will be recovered to $0.74, 2% annual rate, the shipments will grow about 2% this year, drive the annual output value reached $16.6 billion, year growth of 4%.

In addition, the IC Insights that MCU market output value is expected to hit a record high all the way, until 2020. Especially in 2020, MCU market will reach $20.9 billion, from 2015 to 2020, the output value of the MCU market compound annual growth rate of about 5.5%.
