Market Definition

The Neuromorphic Computing Market size was valued at USD 4.99 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 20.86 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 22.7% from 2024-2030. Neuromorphic computing is a field of computer engineering and neuroscience that involves the design and development of computing systems that are modeled on the human brain. These systems are designed to perform tasks that are difficult or impossible to accomplish with traditional computing architectures. Neuromorphic computing systems use specialized hardware and software to simulate these neural networks and perform tasks such as pattern recognition, image processing, and natural language processing. They are designed to be energy-efficient, scalable, and adaptable to a wide range of applications, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart sensors. 

Market Dynamics and Trends

The growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) expand across industries such as healthcare, finance, automotive, and manufacturing, there is a rising need for advanced computing architectures, including neuromorphic computing to efficiently process large-scale data and execute complex AI algorithms. As per the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it is projected that approximately 60% of jobs in advanced economies will be influenced by AI. In contrast, in emerging markets and low-income countries, the anticipated impact of AI is expected to be 40% and 26%, respectively.

Moreover, the rising demand for the energy efficiency requirements fuels the neuromorphic computing market. As it offers energy-efficient solutions compared to traditional computing architectures, making it appealing for applications where power consumption is a critical concern, such as IoT devices and edge computing.

In addition, the increasing investment from governments, research institutions, and private companies in neuromorphic computing research and development fuels innovation and commercialization efforts, further stimulating demand for neuromorphic computing solutions. For example, ConScience, a microfabrication company, received USD 1.05 million (10 million Swedish Krona) in grants from Vinnova, a Swedish innovation agency. Teaming up with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, they are spearheading the development of artificial neurons for neuromorphic computing, focusing on photonic technology on an LNOI platform to boost energy efficiency and machine learning capabilities.

However, the advancement of neuromorphic computing systems and software demands extensive research, specialized hardware, and software proficiency, leading to substantial development expenses. These high costs can hinder the uptake of such technologies, especially for smaller firms and startups, potentially impeding market expansion. On the contrary, the development of specialized neuromorphic chips optimized for implementing neural network algorithms and architectures that feature parallel processing capabilities and low-power consumption, enabling efficient execution of neuromorphic algorithms is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market in the future. In 2024, OpenAI announced to buy advanced Neuromorphic AI chips worth of USD 51 million from Rain AI, a startup specializing in developing ultra-low power and high-speed AI Neuromorphic Processing Units (NPUs). Rain AI planned to deliver its first chips by October, aiming to revolutionize neuromorphic computing.
