CTOnews.com, November 7, according to BusinessKorea, with the rapid increase of global demand for high-performance semiconductors for electric vehicles, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have gradually set their sights on the field of automotive semiconductors.

CTOnews.com learned that although the two companies occupy the first and second positions in the world memory semiconductor market, they do not have much influence in the automotive semiconductor market.

South Korea accounts for only 2.3 per cent of the global automotive semiconductor market based on sales in 2019, according to Strategy Analytics.

In the field of fuel vehicles, the price of vehicle semiconductors is generally low, so the profitability is low, and the replacement cycle of fuel vehicles is generally longer, which can last more than 10 years. However, with the rapid growth of electric vehicles and smart driving vehicles, and the increasing demand for high value-added semiconductors, South Korean consortia are actively responding to this trend and increasing investment in the semiconductor sector.

Samsung Electronics predicts that by 2030, automotive semiconductors will grow into the three major semiconductor industries together with servers and semiconductors for mobile communications.

Since 2020, the electric vehicle market has grown rapidly, and the number of semiconductors installed in electric vehicles has also increased sharply due to the progress of electronic components technology. There are 100 to 200 parts in a tanker, while smart cars that support self-driving need at least thousands of parts.

At present, Samsung Electronics is planning to meet the needs of high-performance automotive semiconductors through LPDDR5X, GDDR7 and other next-generation storage solutions. Its goal is to occupy the number one position in the automotive memory market by 2025.
