System-on-Chip Market to Hit $207 Billion by 2033 as Security Risks Rise

A market research forecast projects the global System-on-Chip (SoC) market to reach US$207.3 billion by 2033, up from US$137.5 billion in 2025, implying a compound annual growth rate of about 5.3% from 2026 onward. Growth is driven by expanding demand for smartphones, AI‑enabled edge devices, IoT products, and automotive electronics that require high‑performance, low‑power integrated circuits.

At the same time, researchers warn that emerging chiplet architectures and the integration of large language models (LLMs) into electronic design automation (EDA) tools are widening the hardware attack surface. The convergence of 2.5‑D chiplet systems with AI‑driven design flows creates new vectors for exploitation at architectural, logical, and physical levels. Mitigation strategies highlighted include physically isolated roots of trust, split‑manufacturing techniques, and active interposers to protect chiplet‑based designs.
