The Commodity IQ Price Index for MPUs and MCUs will remain above the index baseline, indicating rising prices, into H1 2025. High-end MPU and automotive microcontroller upward pricing will persist as makers attempt to preserve profit margins and defocus on legacy devices. Additionally, compute upgrade cycles are showing signs of life into H2 2024, and 8—and 16-bit MCU production will stagnate as automakers and other customers transition to 32-bit MCUs, leading to supply constraints and price pressure.
