Semiconductor IP market size worth $9.3 billion by 2026

The global Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Market is anticipated to reach $9.3 billion by 2026 according to a new research published by Polaris Market Research. In 2018, the consumer electronics segment accounted for the highest Semiconductor Intellectual Property market share in terms of revenue. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the leading contributor to the global Semiconductor Intellectual Property market revenue in 2018.

The increase in demand for consumer electronics such as MP3 players, digital cameras, cell phones, coupled with increasing use of connected devices majorly drives the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market growth. Rising demand for modern System on Chip (SoC) design, and growing need to reduce manufacturing and design cost boost the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market growth. Advancement in multicore technology for consumer electronics further supports the growth of the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market.

New emerging markets, and emergence of technologies such as embedded and programmable DSP IPs would provide growth opportunities in the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market in the coming years.

Asia-Pacific generated the highest Semiconductor Intellectual Property market share in terms of revenue in 2018, and is expected to lead the global Semiconductor Intellectual Property market throughout the forecast period. The growing urbanization, increasing population, and rising living standards have accelerated the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market growth in the region. A significant rise in the demand for consumer electronics from countries such as China, India, and Japan, and increasing adoption of connected technologies support the growth of the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market in the region.

The growing automotive industry, and increasing penetration of electric vehicles support the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market growth in the region. Modernization of vehicles and development of autonomous vehicles augments the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market growth in the region.

Soft Semiconductor Intellectual Property is usually offered in high-level language such as RTL C++ Verilog or VHDL, and is generally portable. However, it is not optimized for a specific process technology. Thus, the power, performance and area are not known until it is committed to a specific process technology and library. Hard Semiconductor Intellectual Property is usually offered in GDSII format along with an accompanying set of EDA views or models, while being optimized for a specific foundry process. Some examples of hard SIP include processors, standard cells, memories, phase locked loops, and analog blocks.

The well-known companies profiled in the Semiconductor Intellectual Property market report include Synopsys Inc., Eureka Technology Inc., Fujitsu Ltd., Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, Faraday Technology Corporation, ARM Ltd, Cadence Design Systems Inc., Ceva Inc., Intel Corporation, and Imagination Technologies Limited. These companies launch new products and collaborate with other market leaders to innovate and launch new products to meet the increasing needs and requirements of consumers.
