SoC vendors such as Broadcom, Qualcomm, and Intel have already invested a considerable amount of time and money in their R&D department for the expansion of their product portfolio. Similarly, vendors in this market are increasingly investing in their R&D division to provide better functionality and to meet the unsatisfied requirements of end-consumers.

The R&D investments by the vendors have enabled them to capture a significant market share and gain a competitive edge over the other vendors in the market. Therefore, the increased R&D spending by market vendors is a trend that is expected to contribute to the Global SoC market.

According to the report, the growth of the Global SoC market is driven by several factors and one such major driver is the reducing cost per function of ICs. With the evolving technology, the cost per function of ICs is reducing, which also reduces the prices of SoCs.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the cyclical nature of the Semiconductor industry which creates an unstable market condition, and SoC manufacturers often experience fluctuating revenues, which in turn affects the market's profitability.
