According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Independent ISP Chip market size was valued at US$ 750 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD million by 2032 with a CAGR of % during review period.
ISP, abbreviated as "Image Signal Processor", is a unit used to process the output signals of front-end image sensors. ISP chips are divided into two types: integrated and independent. Currently, most mobile phones use integrated ISP chips that come with processors, which are integrated into the phone's SOC processor. The independent ISP chip exists independently of the processor, and although it has a high cost, its advantages are also quite obvious.
Global key players of Independent ISP Chip include STMicroelectronics and Onsemi. The top two players hold a share over 38%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about 55%, followed by Europe and North America, with share 15% and 18%, separately. In terms of product type, Supports HDR Chip is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 92%, and in terms of application, Security has a share about 40%.
The market drivers of independent ISP chips include:
1. Technological breakthroughs: performance leap and AI fusion
Image processing capability revolution
Low-light environment optimization: Through AI noise reduction algorithm and multi-spectral fusion technology, independent ISP chips can achieve a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio under extremely low illumination.
Dynamic range expansion: AI-driven adaptive HDR technology can optimize light and dark details in real time and reduce overexposure or underexposure. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite's AI ISP supports unlimited semantic segmentation at 4K resolution and implements differentiated optimization for different areas.
Anti-shake and multi-modal fusion: 6DOF digital anti-shake, PDAF fast focus and multi-sensor data fusion (such as radar, infrared) improve imaging stability and meet the needs of sports scenes.
Energy efficiency and computing power optimization
AI model compression: Through quantization and pruning algorithms, AI ISP achieves low-latency processing on the end side. For example, the DeepSeek-R1 model compresses the number of parameters to an operational scale, reducing storage requirements.
Hardware co-design: NPU and ISP are deeply integrated to improve processing efficiency. MediaTek Dimensity 9400's NPU 890 supports autonomous perception and reasoning, and its energy efficiency ratio is significantly improved.
2. Market demand: Diversified application scenarios
Intelligent security monitoring
Smart city and safe city projects drive the demand for high-definition cameras, and independent ISP chips support functions such as face recognition and license plate recognition.
After the IPCSoC is embedded with the AI ​​processor, it realizes the transition from passive monitoring to active recognition, and supports structured data processing and intelligent analysis.
Explosive growth of automotive electronics
The level of autonomous driving has been improved (more than 20 cameras are required for L5 level), which has promoted the demand for on-board ISP chips.
Independent ISP needs to support multi-channel 4K video parallel processing, HDR and low-light optimization to meet the needs of ADAS (advanced driving assistance system) and DMS (driver monitoring system).
High-end consumer electronics
Smartphones have higher requirements for image quality, and traditional integrated ISPs are difficult to meet the needs, prompting manufacturers to develop independent ISPs. For example, the vivo Blue Heart large model is combined with the AI ​​ISP to achieve "voice + gesture + image" multi-modal interaction.
The demand for digital camera equipment is growing, and the requirements for high resolution and high stability in professional fields (such as film production) drive the upgrade of ISP chips.
Internet of Things and 5G empowerment
The popularization of IoT devices (such as smart home cameras) and 5G networks accelerate data transmission and expand the application scenarios of ISP chips. For example, smart car chips support Wifi interconnection and real-time monitoring to meet the needs of the Internet of Vehicles.
3. Policy support: domestic substitution and standard improvement
Top-level design promotion
The country has included the integrated circuit industry in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and supported the development of AI chips through tax incentives, R&D subsidies and other measures. The "Guidelines for the Construction of the National Comprehensive Standardization System for the Artificial Intelligence Industry (2024 Edition)" requires the formulation of more than 50 national standards for AI chips by 2026.
Local policies (such as support for industrial parks in Beijing and Shanghai) accelerate the clustering development of AI chip companies.
Acceleration of the localization process
Policy-driven and technological breakthroughs promote the development of the domestic AI chip industry chain. For example, VeriSilicon's AI-ISP chips have achieved automotive-grade mass production, and Jingjiawei's JM9 series GPU performance is comparable to international mainstream products.
The self-sufficiency rate of domestic AI chips is expected to reach 35% in 2025, but upstream equipment (such as lithography machines) still relies on imports and requires long-term investment to break through.
Industry standards and specifications
International standards (such as IEC 62805, ASTM F3287-18) regulate production processes and quality control, and domestic group standards (such as T/CAS 386-2019) emphasize production cleanliness and process stability to ensure product consistency.
IV. Industry chain collaboration: upstream and downstream linkage and ecological construction
Upstream and downstream technology collaboration
Independent ISP chips are coordinated and optimized with CMOS sensors and SoC chips to improve overall performance. For example, OmniVision Technologies launched a CMOS sensor with integrated ISP, and ON Semiconductor provides CIS+ISP integrated solutions.
The combination of front-end and back-end chips (such as IPCSoC and NVRSoC) provides end-to-end intelligent solutions to reduce transmission and storage costs.
Ecological cooperation and competition
Major manufacturers enhance their competitiveness through technological innovation and product upgrades. For example, STMicroelectronics and ON Semiconductor have deep technical accumulation in the field of ISP chips and continue to launch new products to lead the market direction.
Cross-border cooperation (such as joint research and development by chip manufacturers and algorithm companies) accelerates the implementation of technology, such as the adaptation of Baidu PaddlePaddle and Cambrian MLU, which promotes the application of AI ISP in medical and education fields.
V. Future trends: technology integration and scene deepening
AI and quantum computing integration
Quantum computing may break through the physical limitations of traditional ISPs, improve image processing speed and energy efficiency, and become the core driving force of smart terminals.
Vertical scene deepening
Medical (such as real-time enhancement of surgical images), education (such as high-definition video transmission of remote education) and other fields have put forward new requirements for ISP chips, promoting the development of dedicated solutions.
End-cloud collaboration standardization
The 2025 Paris AI Summit promotes AI ethics and end-side deployment specifications, promotes cross-platform collaboration, and improves the security and efficiency of ISP chips in end-cloud collaboration scenarios.
The growth of the independent ISP chip market is the result of technological breakthroughs, demand upgrades, policy support and industry chain synergy. In the future, with the in-depth integration of AI technology, the expansion of application scenarios and the acceleration of domestic substitution, the independent ISP chip market will usher in a broader development space. Enterprises need to continue to pay attention to technological innovation, changes in market demand and policy guidance to consolidate their competitive advantages and respond to potential challenges.
