Scope of the SerDes Market Report:

SerDes stands for Serializer/Deserializer. It is a set of blocks that are commonly found in high-speed communications. Its general purpose is to compensate for limited input/output. The transmitter section is a sequential to parallel converter and the receiver section is a parallel-to-sequence number. Multiple serviced interfaces are often housed in the same package. SerDes chips facilitate the transmission of parallel data between two points rather than a serial stream, reducing the number of data paths and thus reducing the number of connecting pins or wires. Additionally, there are four different SerDes architectures. For example, Parallel Clock SerDes, Embedded Clock SerDes, 8b/10b SerDes and Bit interleaved SerDes.

In case of COVID-19, Asia pacific is highly affected specially India. China has significantly large number of electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industry with numerous manufacturers operating and supporting several industries across the globe. The Chinese SerDes market players have observed moderate impact on respective business during 2020. The lockdown measures and physical distancing norms imposed by the Chinese government has reflected huge fall in demand for the high-speed connector, which ultimately resulted in destruction in revenue generation in the high-speed connector market. Japan and India are the other two countries that have large number of electronics and semiconductor manufacturers as well as end users.

Market Trends of SerDes market

A serializer/deserializer is a pair of functional blocks commonly used in high-speed communications to compensate for limited input/output. These blocks convert data between serial data and parallel interfaces in each direction. SerDes enables the movement of a large amount of data point-to-point while reducing the complexity, cost and power and board space usage associated with having to implement wide parallel data buses. Its use becomes especially beneficial as the frequency rate of parallel data buses moves beyond 500 MHz (1000 Mbps). In many applications, a SerDes can provide a very good solution for moving a large amount of data point-to-point within systems, between systems, or even between systems in two different locations. The most obvious advantages of SerDes are a reduction in pin count and cable/channel count. For early SerDes, these meant bytes of data could be sent across a coax or a fiber. Some of the companies invest considerably in research and development in order to incorporate new technologies and develop new products to gain market share.
