Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/06/2016 -- Report forecast the global computer on module (COM) market to grow at a CAGR of 17.97% during the period 2016-2020.

A COM, or system on module (SOM), is a single board computer, which is a subtype of an embedded computer system. COMs are used in various embedded applications such as industrial automation, medical equipment, gaming devices (slot machines), servers, workstations, and rackmounts. They are built on a single circuit board and consist of a single processor, random access memory (RAM), and input and output controllers. However, COMs lack the standard connectors required for connecting input/output peripherals to the board. Hence, they need to be mounted on a carrier board to connect to standard peripheral connectors.

Certain COMs have peripheral connectors and do not require a carrier board. In certain configurations, the baseboard is connected to a backplane, which allows connectivity to other peripheral devices. Also, some rackmount computer designs that use COMs use backplane connectivity. Backplane connectivity provides many functionalities such as better power connectivity, LAN connectivity from backplane, and improved modular design that allows plug-and-play features to increase computing capacity.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global computer on module (COM) market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the shipment of COM based on the following standards:

- COM express
- Smart Mobility ARChitecture (SMARC)
- Qseven
- Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX)
- Others

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA

According to the report, a key growth driver is the longevity and reliability of COMs. Globalization and rising demand for connected devices, including IoT, have increased the need for servers at global level. Higher uplink time and reduced unplanned activities are important for a network or service provider, especially in a cloud-based service, to implement industrial IoT-supporting hardware. COM is a major component of devices like servers and is essential for various rackmount applications. A lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of the manufacturer, along with improved performance, give the vendors a competitive edge over other contemporary technologies such as SBCs.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could restrict market growth is the failure to forecast market demand. Failures in forecasting demand can result in loss of revenue as well as provide opportunity for new suppliers to enter the market, which further increases the competition.
