SerDes for Automotive Market Size, Share, Growth, and Industry Analysis, By Type (16 Bit and Less, 16 to 32 Bit & Above 32 Bit), By Application (Passenger Cars & Commercial Vehicle) and Regional Forecast to 2033

SERDES FOR AUTOMOTIVE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global serdes for automotive market size was USD 179.19 million in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 413.97 million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period.

SerDes in this industry is one of the key technologies due to which communication needs in high-speed data within vehicles can be met. Whereas personal computers became standardised in terms of data transmission at a relatively early stage and thus could be connected to conventional telephone networks, automobiles are becoming filigreed, with ADAS, HD displays, and numerous sensors generating gigabytes of data, which has to be transferred rapidly. SerDes solutions combat this by parallelising the data to be transmitted to serial data over a single wire or differential pair and then back again into parallel on the other end. This reduces the number of wires necessary and saves space and weight, as well as reduces electromagnetic crosstalk interferences. Those automotive SerDes must require reliability, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) besides the usual synchronous and asynchronous environments in the automotive system.
