Chiplets market seen reaching $168.57B by 2030

The chiplets market is forecast to jump from $22.58 billion in 2026 to $168.57 billion by 2030 as AI, edge computing and data center demand push semiconductor makers toward modular designs. Asia-Pacific led the market in 2025, while North America is expected to be the fastest-growing region. Why it matters: - Chiplets are becoming a key way for chipmakers to manage rising design complexity, lower costs and scale performance in advanced semiconductor systems. - The market’s rapid growth points to a broader shift toward modular, multi-die chip design across AI, edge computing and data centers. What happened: - The Business Research Company projected the chiplets market will grow from $13.55 billion in 2025 to $22.58 billion in 2026. - The company forecast the market will reach $168.57 billion by 2030, implying a 65.3% CAGR. - The report was released from London on June 15, 2026. The details: - Chiplets are individual semiconductor components or functional blocks made separately and then assembled into a larger integrated circuit or system. - The modular approach is designed to improve flexibility, efficiency and scalability in semiconductor manufacturing. - The 2026 growth outlook is tied to AI and edge computing workloads, broader adoption of chiplet-based data center processors, open chiplet standards such as UCIe, demand for cost-efficient multi-die integration, and expansion of semiconductor outsourcing and packaging ecosystems. - The report identified heterogeneous chiplet architectures, standardized interconnect protocols, improved packaging techniques, increased outsourcing and modular design as key trends. - Consumer electronics demand is also supporting the market. - Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association data showed consumer electronics production at $2,178,430 million in May 2023, up from $1,714,724 million a year earlier. - Uswitch Limited reported in February 2023 that the UK had 71.8 million mobile connections starting in 2022 and that about 95% of the projected 68.3 million population was expected to own smartphones by 2025. - In 2025, Asia-Pacific held the largest share of the chiplets market. - North America is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. - The report covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa. - The 2026 report package includes market attractiveness scoring, total addressable market analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, and updated technology and trend analysis. Between the lines: - The forecast reflects a semiconductor industry moving away from single large chips and toward smaller, specialized components that can be combined for better performance and manufacturing economics. - The heavy emphasis on packaging, standards and outsourcing suggests future competition will hinge not just on chip design, but on ecosystem readiness. What’s next: - Adoption of UCIe and other interconnect standards is likely to influence how quickly chiplets move into mainstream commercial products. - Growth in AI infrastructure and edge devices should continue to shape demand for modular semiconductor architectures. - Regional momentum is likely to stay centered in Asia-Pacific manufacturing, with North America expanding faster on the demand and design side. The bottom line: - Chiplets are moving from niche architecture to major semiconductor growth theme, with market value expected to multiply sharply by 2030.
