Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a leader in the development of post-quantum technology, announced today that it is advancing in custom application-specific integrated circuit ("ASIC”) projects in several countries (India, Spain, Saudi Arabia), targeting key markets and fueling significant growth in both revenue and market position. SEALSQ's strategic focus on ASIC development reflects its dedication to securing its place in the rapidly evolving semiconductor market, marked by increasing demand for high-performance, application-specific solutions.
Expanding the ASIC Market: Demand for Customization and Performance Optimization
SEALSQ ASICs are tailored IC chips designed for specific applications, setting them apart from general-purpose chips. This approach enables SEALSQ to deliver products that achieve superior performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives such as FPGAs and microcontrollers. The company's ASICs have applications in several high-growth sectors, including telecommunications, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and healthcare.
The global ASIC market is poised for rapid growth, expected to expand from $24.6 billion in 2023 to approximately $41.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 7.8% (Source: ASIC - Global Strategic Business Report). This surge is driven by the increasing need for customized solutions that leverage advancements in process nodes, packaging technologies, and integration for enhanced performance, lower power consumption, and reduced size, all critical for AI, IoT, and 5G applications.
Technological Edge: Post-Quantum Security in a Growing Geopolitical Landscape
At the core of SEALSQ's ASIC innovation is the integration of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, positioning the company as a leader in cybersecurity for digital systems in a post-quantum world. With concerns around cybersecurity rising, SEALSQ has prioritized the development of ASICs with embedded hardware-based security features, such as encryption and authentication, addressing vulnerabilities in applications like IoT and cloud computing.
This approach also underscores SEALSQ's commitment to innovation within the current geopolitical climate. With ongoing competition in semiconductor production between the U.S. and China, and Taiwan producing 60% of the world's advanced sub-7-nanometer chips, SEALSQ is strategically positioned to contribute to secure, resilient digital infrastructure. These chips are critical to advancements in AI, 5G, and defense technology, placing countries and corporations alike in pursuit of reliable and secure semiconductor sources.
The SEALSQ ASIC Advantage: Optimized for Application-Specific Excellence
Designed using metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology, SEALSQ's ASICs deliver high density and performance, specifically engineered to excel in their designated applications. From low-power solutions for IoT sensors to robust chips for automotive ADAS and EV systems, SEALSQ's custom ASICs are paving the way for a new era of secure, specialized hardware.
Future Outlook and Market Leadership
As SEALSQ continues to build momentum, the company is poised to become a market leader in custom ASIC development, leveraging its expertise in post-quantum technology and application-specific design to serve a growing roster of industry players. This expansion not only enhances SEALSQ's revenue pipeline but also reinforces its standing as a critical player in the global technology landscape, especially as the demand for secure, high-performance semiconductor solutions escalates across industries and geopolitical boundaries.
About SEALSQ
SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while developing post-Quantum technology hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, Medical and Healthcare and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks. For more information, please visit www.sealsq.com.
