随着人工智慧从集中式云端资料中心迁移到资料生成设备(例如智慧型手机、汽车、机器人、工业感测器和个人电脑),全球边缘人工智慧晶片市场正经历前所未有的成长。边缘人工智慧晶片,包括神经网路处理单元 (NPU)、图形处理器 (GPU) 和中央处理器 (CPU),使设备能够在本地做出智慧决策,而无需依赖云端连接。这消除了延迟,增强了资料隐私,降低了频宽需求,并支援在安全关键型应用中实现即时自主运行。预计到 2036 年,边缘人工智慧晶片市场规模将超过 800 亿美元,主要驱动力来自五大关键应用领域:汽车、人工智慧智慧型手机、人工智慧个人电脑、人形机器人和用于预测性维护的人工智慧感测器。

汽车产业是最大的成长机会之一,随着 SAE L2+ 级到 L3 级自动驾驶技术的进步,法律责任从驾驶员转移到汽车製造商 (OEM),因此对边缘人工智慧运算能力的需求显着增强。 智慧座舱系统是汽车产业的另一个细分市场,需要专门的人工智慧处理能力来实现语音助理、驾驶监控、手势辨识和扩增实境显示等功能。汽车产业与消费性电子产业一样,将自动驾驶和智慧座舱功能结合,成为两大边缘人工智慧晶片市场之一。

人工智慧智慧型手机在边缘人工智慧晶片市场中占主导地位,截至2026年1月,所有主要OEM厂商都已在其旗舰设备中整合人工智慧功能。人工智慧PC的专用人工智慧处理能力超过40 TOPS,在2025年仅占新PC销量的不到10%,但预计到2030年代初将占新PC销量的大部分。英特尔、高通、苹果和AMD的平台预计将争夺市场占有率。

人形机器人被定位为一个发展中但极具前景的应用领域。截至2026年,它们在汽车製造领域的应用正在不断扩大,预计未来十年将扩展到安防、监控和家庭环境领域。 随着超出目前拣货和物流作业的复杂任务数量不断增加,每个机器人所需的 AI 运算能力预计将显着提升。

本报告分析了全球边缘 AI 晶片市场,提供了 54 家公司的详细概况,包括成熟的半导体公司、专注于 AI 的新创公司和云端供应商的边缘解决方案,以及技术架构、应用市场、竞争格局和地理预测。

第五章 参考资料

The global market for edge AI chips is entering a period of unprecedented growth as artificial intelligence transitions from centralised cloud data centers to the devices where data is generated - smartphones, vehicles, robots, industrial sensors, and personal computers. Edge AI chips, encompassing Neural Processing Units (NPUs), Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and Central Processing Units (CPUs) optimised for machine learning inference, enable devices to make intelligent decisions locally, without reliance on cloud connectivity. This eliminates latency, enhances data privacy, reduces bandwidth requirements, and enables real-time autonomous operation in safety-critical applications. The edge AI chip market is forecast to exceed US$80 billion by 2036, driven by five key application segments: automotive, AI smartphones, AI PCs, humanoid robots, and AI sensors for predictive maintenance.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the edge AI chip market, covering technology architectures, application markets, competitive dynamics, geographic forecasts, and 54 detailed company profiles spanning established semiconductor giants, AI-focused startups, and cloud provider edge solutions. Market forecasts are provided from 2026 to 2036, segmented by geographic region (United States, China, Europe, and Rest of World) and by application. The report delivers actionable intelligence for semiconductor companies, chip designers, OEMs, system integrators, investors, and policymakers navigating this rapidly evolving market.

The automotive sector represents one of the highest-growth opportunities, with the transition from SAE Level 2+ to Level 3 autonomous driving shifting legal responsibility from the driver to the OEM, necessitating substantially greater edge AI compute. Intelligent cockpit systems represent an additional automotive sub-market requiring dedicated AI processing for voice assistants, driver monitoring, gesture recognition, and augmented reality displays. Together, autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit functions make automotive one of the two largest edge AI chip markets alongside consumer electronics.

AI smartphones dominate the edge AI chip market by volume, with every major OEM now offering AI-enabled features on flagship devices as of January 2026. The report benchmarks flagship AI processors from Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, Google, and Huawei, and analyses the premiumization trend that is driving mid-range phones to eat into budget phone market share. AI PCs, defined as those exceeding 40 TOPS of dedicated AI processing, represented less than 10% of new PC sales in 2025 but are expected to constitute the majority of new sales by the early 2030s, with platforms from Intel, Qualcomm, Apple, and AMD competing for market share.

Humanoid robots are identified as a nascent but high-potential application segment. As of 2026, deployments are scaling on automotive manufacturing floors, with expansion into patrolling, surveillance, and household environments expected over the next decade. The required AI compute per robot is forecast to increase significantly as tasks grow in complexity beyond current picking and logistics operations.

The report examines the edge AI chip supply chain across CPU, NPU, and GPU architectures, including a detailed review of cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing processes at 3nm, 2nm, and beyond, covering TSMC, Samsung Foundry, and Intel. Advanced packaging technologies including chiplets, 2.5D/3D integration, and fan-out wafer-level packaging are analysed for their impact on edge AI processor capability and cost. The geopolitical dimension is covered extensively, including the impact of US export controls on the China market, domestic Chinese semiconductor self-sufficiency efforts, and government investment programmes including the CHIPS and Science Act, the European Chips Act, and equivalent programmes in Japan and South Korea.
