Market Introduction

The global single board computer market valued at market size of USD 2,786.5 Million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 4,798.9 Million by 2027. The global single board computer market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period.


The single board computer consists of the whole embedded computer system, assembled on a single board. The layout of a single board computer includes microprocessor with RAM, input/output controllers and all different capabilities, required to build a computer. Increasing demand for industrial automation, and growing demand for compact components, across various industries are some of the important factors, expected to drive the demand for single board computers.

Single board computer market is a moderately fragmented, with the presence of international and local players across various regions. This results in moderate competition in the market. Market players are continuously focusing on new product development in order to serve the specific needs of their clients.

Growth Influencers

Increasing industrial automation to drive the market growth

One of the most important factors attributed to the growth in demand for single board computer, is rising trend of industrial automation. Single board computers have important applications in industrial automation and are used primarily for process control and discrete manufacturing in production facilities. Introduction of robotics, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and various other new technologies have resulted in increased automation of the industries. Industrial automation also results in reducing the overall cost of manufacturing through increased productivity and efficiency. Due to these factors industrial automation is growing at a huge pace, across various countries, globally. This in turn is expected to fuel the growth of single board computer market in the forthcoming years.

Covid-19 resulted in slowdown of single board computer market

Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in temporary shutdown of production and manufacturing activities across the globe. This in turn has resulted in factory closures, supply chain disruption, and a collapse in demand of goods across various industries. Additionally, increased trade barriers in various countries have further resulted in slowdown of manufacturing activities, which is anticipated to curtail the demand for single board computer, to a great extent.
