Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Custom IC market size was valued at US$ 20996 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 27401 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.8% during review period.
Custom integrated circuits (ICs) are ICs specifically designed and manufactured to meet user needs. Mass-produced and standardized general-purpose ICs typically cannot satisfy all user requirements; the development of new electronic systems often necessitates various ICs with special functions or technical specifications. Custom ICs are one of the important ways to solve this problem and represent a significant aspect of IC development.
Global production of custom integrated circuits is projected to reach 5.83 billion units in 2025, with an average price of $3.5 per unit. Gross margin is estimated at approximately 40%–65%.
The upstream of custom ICs mainly includes semiconductor materials and foundational technologies such as silicon wafers, compound semiconductor materials, EDA tools, IP cores, and advanced process equipment and know-how, which define design complexity, performance limits, and development cost. Downstream demand is the core value driver and is closely tied to specific application scenarios. In consumer electronics, including smartphones, wearables, and smart home devices, custom ICs are used for power management, sensing, audio, and connectivity, with strong emphasis on low power consumption, high integration, and fast iteration. Automotive electronics represent the fastest-growing downstream segment, covering smart cockpits, ADAS, electric drivetrains, and body control systems, where reliability, functional safety, and long-term supply are critical, resulting in longer product lifecycles and higher unit value. Industrial and energy applications include industrial control, robotics, and automation equipment, focusing on stability, environmental tolerance, and system-level customization. In communications and data centers, custom ICs support network processing, acceleration, and specialized interfaces, prioritizing high bandwidth and low latency. Medical and security applications are smaller in scale but feature high technical and regulatory barriers, with strong demand for deep customization.
In terms of trends, custom ICs are moving toward highly specialized designs and system-on-chip solutions, optimizing performance and energy efficiency through hardware–software co-design. Key drivers include the inability of general-purpose chips to meet differentiated requirements, competitive pressure on OEMs to build proprietary capabilities, and reduced customization barriers enabled by IP reuse and advanced packaging. Constraints include high upfront R&D investment, long design cycles, and significant non-recurring engineering costs, while advanced process nodes face capacity and geopolitical risks that increase uncertainty.
