The 21st century is a digitalised world, where data serves as the new raw material driving our society. An increasing number of sensors are generating vast amounts of data through a rapidly growing array of smart devices. According to the International Data Corporation, the amount of digital data generated globally each year has increased more than tenfold and is expected to nearly double again by 2027 – reaching over 284 zettabytes (to visualise this number, add 21 zeros to 284). To make sense of this data, it must also be transmitted – to other devices or the cloud, for instance. In this podcast, we explore the trends shaping sensor technology and networking. Joining us is Christian Krieber, Director of the Connectivity & Peripherals Technology Segment at EBV.

In our digital and connected world, embedded processing solutions are the basic building blocks of electronic systems. Microcontrollers and processors, AI accelerators or system-on-modules enable data processing directly in the device or system in which they are embedded. Today, they can be found almost everywhere smart devices are used: in consumer electronics as well as in IoT devices, in increasingly automated cars as well as in industrial production technology. 

According to market researchers at IMARC, the global market for embedded processors will reach $21.2 billion by 2024. The IMARC Group expects the market to reach $36.6 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 5.98% between 2025 and 2033. 

In this episode we talk to Ulrich Schmidt, Director of the Embedded Processing Technology Segment at EBV Elektronik, about where this growth is coming from and what technology trends are currently shaping the embedded processing market.
