Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global GPU Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global graphics processing unit (GPU) market to surpass 67.61 million units during the period 2016-2020.

The increasing adoption of integrated GPUs over discrete GPUs is one of the major trends witnessed in the global GPU market. Currently, there is increasing adoption of integrated GPUs, which are used in notebooks, desktops, and workstations across the globe. This increasing adoption is mainly attributed to the growing need of enhanced visual content by end-consumers. In addition, end-consumers are demanding high memory graphics in their systems. In order to meet such demands, graphic processor vendors are providing high graphics through integrated GPUs. Thus, the increasing adoption of integrated GPUs over discrete GPUs is one of major trends that is propelling the growth of the market.

According to the report, increasing demand for high memory GPU will be a key driver for market growth. The growing number of PC games supplemented by the increasing graphic requirements for these PC games have led to more demand for high memory graphic cards. This demand has forced graphic processor vendors to increase their production of GPUs that are compatible with high memory graphics, thereby propelling the growth of the global GPU market.

Further, the report states that falling demand for desktop PCs will be a challenge for the market. As a result of the emergence of portable display devices such as smartphones and tablets, there has been a decline in the demand for desktop PCs. The global smartphone market and the global tablet market are witnessing unprecedented demand for smartphones and tablets, respectively, leading to a drastic decline in the demand for graphic processors used in desktop PCs. As a result, the use of graphic processors is declining. Though the market for desktop PCs is declining, the advent of touch screen monitors will help the desktop PC segment to gain traction in the market. However, the falling demand for desktop PCs hinders the growth of the global GPU market.
