Hello , I would like to know lifetime expectancy of NRF52832 IC. By lifetime expectancy I mean the amount of duration before NRF52832 goes non-functional.
Please help me in this regard.

You can find some additional information here for the flash retention in specific:
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/32247/data-retention-time-at-higher-temperature/
"10years at 40degree Celcius,". For more typical 25 degree, it is most likely closer to 30-50 years, maybe more
You can always get an external Flash memory that is targeted to last longer than the on chip nRF52832 flash memory.
Thanks everyone. I did look into external flash yesterday, and it seems like a viable option if I want to extend the lifetime beyond the rating of this internal flash. There are automotive grade flash chips that are rated at 20 years for 125C.
For my application, I expect the device to get up to 65C - so much worse than consumer applications. From the link provided by Kenneth, it seems that I should expect somewhere between 10 years (85C) and 48 years (40C).
