On February 16, 2021, IoT Analytics issued an interesting report titled “The rise of the IoT semiconductor.”
The whole security industry is delighted to read that this report positions “IoT security chipsets and modules” as one of the four key components driving IoT semiconductor. On the other hand, in the same report, we learn that according to Nokia’s “Threat Intelligence Report 2020”, the share of IoT infections increased by 100% in 2020 and IoT devices now make up 32.7% of the infected devices.
According to a recent report from IC Insights, programmable microcontrollers will be among the top 10 integrated circuits that will have the highest growth in 2021. Without doubt, the rise of IoT, Artificial Intelligence or automotive electronics are the greatest contributors of this growth.
Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner for Internal Market and Services is preparing a new Industrial Strategy to strengthen industrial activities in Europe. Everyone welcomes this great initiative, although it looks challenging for manufacturing activities dominated by Asian countries. We believe that until we are able to manufacture our products safely in Europe, protecting the IP created in Europe must be a priority, especially software IP where Europe is creating value through innovation and leadership.
