Flexible Embedded Systems Accelerate Demand for GPIO Expanders
GPIO expanders are being increasingly used in microprocessor and microcontroller applications. Right from the development of IoT devices to building wide cluster of networked embedded devices, innovative applications are fueling the growth of the GPIO expanders market. However, certain challenges are likely to slow down market growth.
The GPIO expanders market is estimated to expand at a modest CAGR of ~4% during the forecast period. Several reasons account for this growth rate of the market. For instance, there is a growing need for flexibility in the development of networked embedded devices. New requirements and the need to incorporate new software and hardware pose challenges for manufacturing companies. Hence, manufacturers are incorporating PCBs (Printed Circuit Board) with multi-channel variable DC voltage output and GPIO expanders to increase flexibility in embedded systems.
Flexible embedded systems are being increasingly used to develop building management and control systems. Thus, consumer requirements for room temperature control and temperature assessment in coffee machines are catalyzing demand for GPIO expanders.

Rise in Use of GPIO Expanders in Microcontrollers and FPGAs
Growing demand for low-voltage compatibility is creating incremental opportunities for manufacturers in the GPIO expanders market. Companies are developing new I/O expanders that facilitate I2C interface and GPIO signals. Several drivers, such as the ability to incorporate multiple I/O pins in microcontrollers, are triggering the demand for advanced GPIO expanders. Thus, increased application of GPIO expanders in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is driving manufacturers to increase their production capabilities.
Additionally, the rapidly growing electronic devices industry is another factor driving the GPIO expanders market. Rise in the FPGA application in laptops and PCs is creating lucrative opportunities for manufacturers. Thus, the laptops & PCs application segment is anticipated for exponential growth during the forecast period. This segment is estimated to reach a value of ~US$ 800 Mn by 2027. Hence, manufacturers are teaming up with engineers to enhance the functionality of microcontrollers and FPGAs.
