According to the C114 communication network report, a report provided by the market research agency Semico Research indicates that by 2025, the number of chips using the RISC-V architecture is expected to increase to 62.4 billion, of which the industrial sector is expected to be the largest market with a consumption volume of up to 16.7 billion.

Semico predicts that in markets including the computer, consumer electronics, communications, transportation, and industrial markets, the compound growth rate of RISC-V CPU cores from 2018 to 2025 will be as high as 146%.

It is understood that RISC-V originated from the United States and is an open source chip architecture. But not long ago, the RISC-V Foundation planned to relocate its headquarters to Switzerland in order to ensure that universities, governments, and companies outside the United States can help develop its open source technology.

In the field of chip architecture, ARM's IP has an absolute monopoly position, and the x86 architecture monopolizes the segmented PC chip market. MIPS, Aphla, SPARC, Itanium, and PA-RISC each have a small market.

However, the monopoly status makes the license of ARM IP more and more expensive, and some companies have publicly spoke up. And RISC-V's flexible open source strategy provides a competitive advantage, which will change the pattern of the CPU IP market. At present, hundreds of well-known technology companies around the world have joined the camp of open source architecture RlSC-V. Even ARM's hardcore supporters Huawei, Qualcomm, Google, etc. have joined in order to spread the risk.
