COVID-19 IMPACT

Customer and Industry Consolidation and Technological Advancement during the Pandemic Led to Market Growth

The pandemic resulted in a continuous global semiconductor shortage, supply chain interruptions, and other troubles in international trade relations, such as export licenses, tariffs, and further government trade constraints. As per VESA, the rollout was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It prohibited the standards team from executing its PlugTest events, where hardware developers and engineers convene to think, discuss, and resolve the standard's application. However, the later release of the upgrade did benefit the DisplayPort IP industry with compatibility for higher resolutions, UHBR (Ultra high bit rate), greater bandwidth, and other features.        

The EDA industry has developed, and consolidation has caused stronger competitiveness from enterprises that can compete as solitary source vendors. Hence, the product competition in the EDA industry effectively changed due to customer and industry consolidation and technological advancements. For instance,

• In November 2020, ATEN announced the launch of its hybrid DisplayPort KVMP switch CS1953 with 4K USB-C connectivity. The product was launched in response to a critical time of increased telecommuting during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

High Bandwidth and Adaptive-Sync Technology of DisplayPort IP are increasing its Demand in the Gaming Industry

Gaming surface render time differs as per the scene complexity. With older permanent refresh rate displays, the new frame is deferred causing stutter or tearing and added latency. Adaptive Sync seamlessly expands the frame period to accommodate longer rendering time.

• In January 2023, VESA showcased its DisplayPort standards at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), enabling exceptional intensities of video presentation for gaming, content creation, and media playback. VESA also presented a PC gaming demonstration powered by the RX 7900 XTX AMD Radeon graphics card.

Such supportive advanced features of DisplayPort IP give gaming players an enhanced immersive experience, thereby allowing vendors in the market to design and develop new solutions for gaming applications. For instance,

• In June 2022, AMD confirmed that its next-generation graphics card would support Displayport 2.0 with HDR, high refresh rates, high-res, and other gaming requirements. The next-generation port RDNA 3GPUs is best suited for 4K gaming at 250 Hz and support for DisplayPort 2.0 80 Gbps.

Such factors surge the growth of DisplayPort IP solutions in the gaming industry.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Demand for Higher Resolutions Propels the Displayport IP Market Growth

DisplayPort standards offer up to three times augmented bandwidth performance compared to its previously launched upgrades. These new updates include resolutions beyond 4K, higher dynamic rates (HDR), better refresh rates, enhanced support for multiple display configurations, and many other features. 8K standards provide better frame refresh rates of up to 120 frames per second, an additional artificial color dynamic range for brightness, and upgraded audio channels. Hence, the market adoption of high resolution empowered solutions is increasing. DisplayPort has aided the way for prominent inflection points in video mechanisms such as 5K, 8K, and UHD videos over HDR and USB-C. The enormous bandwidth of DisplayPort IP makes it feasible to handle 4K resolution at 240Hz and 8K at DSC. Such demand help to drive the global market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Higher Cost of DisplayPort Devices and Cables Compared to Other Interfaces Can Impede the Market Growth 

Various alternatives to DisplayPort IP interfaces exist, such as HDMI and DVI VGA. These interfaces are comparatively lesser in cost as compared to DisplayPort. Also, these devices are compatible with older version display interfaces. For example, older displays only support VGA/DVI and may involve an adapter or converter to be linked to a DisplayPort device. DisplayPort devices and cables can be costly compared to older display interfaces, and hence price-profound markets can limit the adoption of solutions.
