In general, using integrated circuits (ICs) decreases the amount of discrete electrical components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, etc.) needed, because IC's are a combination of multiple electrical components, put together in such a way as to provide a specific function. If an IC is not used for this function, all the components inside the IC would need t be discrete parts.

Resistors and capacitors inherently take up a lot of space in fabrication. Also, resistors in particular are wasteful when it comes to creating unnecessary heat. If a transistor can be used for the same function, it will be significantly smaller in an IC, and most likely will use less energy, minimizing heat dissipation concerns.
