Global Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) Market Definition

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a chip or electronic circuit able to render graphics for display on an electronic machine. The GPU was introduced to the broader market in 1999 and is famously known for its use in offering the smooth graphics that customers expect in modern videos and games. GPUs come in two primary typesintegrated and discrete. An integrated GPU seems not to come on its own separate card at all and is rather embedded alongside the CPU. A discrete GPU is a distinct chip that is installed on its own circuit board and is typically attached to a PCI Express slot.

GPUs use transistors to execute mathematical calculations of 3D graphics. Modern GPUs include support for programmable shaders to manage vertices and textures, further improving high-precision color spaces while displaying 3D graphics. GPUs are used in fixed systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles. Modern GPUs are very also effective at manipulating computer graphics and image processing. Their highly parallel structure makes them more effective than general-purpose central processing units (CPUs) for algorithms that process large blocks of data in correspondence.

In a personal computer, a GPU can be commenced on a video card or embedded on the motherboard. GPUs were typically designed to stimulate the rendering of 3D graphics. Over time, they became more flexible and programmable, enhancing their abilities. This allowed graphics programmers to produce more interesting visual effects and realistic scenes with excellent lighting and shadowing techniques. Other developers also started to tap the power of GPUs to dramatically stimulate additional workloads in , , and more.

Global Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) Market Overview

The global graphics processing unit market is principally driven by the growing need for specialized processors that can manage complex mathematical calculations related to 2D and 3D graphics. The augmenting usage of processors to support graphics applications and 3D content in several industry verticals, including automotive, manufacturing, real estate, and healthcare is also boosting the market growth. For example, to encourage manufacturing & design applications in the automotive sector, CAD and simulation software support graphic processing units to generate photorealistic images or animations.

Besides, the growing adoption of portable computing devices such as laptops is also promoting the growth of the GPU market across the world. Moreover, the mounting number of complex graphic games is the major factor driving the growth of the market. These heavy application games need high-memory graphic cards, hence driving the growth of the market. However, the growth of mobile-based gaming and the declining demand for desktops are expected to limit the growth of the GPU market across the globe. Moreover, the inadequacy of integrated GPUs to enable intensive graphic designing software may hinder market growth.

Furthermore, the operational interruptions in the electronics industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic have affected GPU production activities. During the coronavirus pandemic, the supply chain and distribution channels have been affected, which in turn, influenced the industries dependent upon GPU components. Nevertheless, the increase in demand for animation-based games such as FIFA the need for speed, and the growth in the adoption of headsets are anticipated to provide immense opportunities for the graphics processing unit market in the coming years.
