Yet, demand for security, especially in general purpose microcontrollers, will ensure the secure MCU market continues to be a high priority for OEMs.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud and network services and security IP for provisioning and onboarding within IoT lifecycle management will contribute to a competitive market within secure MCUs. This strong demand comes from utilities and industrial IoT, and smart cities. \u201cSpecifically, MCUs with Trusted Execution Technologies that securely run high-sensitive and mission-critical applications,\u201d according to ABI Research\u2019s report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart cities and IoT applications\u00a0will increase over the coming years, especially after lessons learned during the Covid-19 pandemic. The work-from-home (WFH) model showed how necessary cloud services are in any enterprise, pandemic or not. Further digitalization of workspaces incorporating machine learning or AI will only require more MCUs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid electronics supply-chain disruptions, you may also wish to consult an expert in electronics component supply.
