Third-party semiconductor IP market to rise at 19% CAGR through 2017, says Semico
Jessie Shen, DIGITIMES, Taipei [Wednesday 2 October 2013]
The third-party semiconductor IP market will increase at a CAGR of 19.3% through 2013-2017, while the CAGR for the total semiconductor market is forecast to reach only 5.3% for the period, according to Semico Research.
The third-party semiconductor IP market has seen great innovation in the products it offers to system-on-a-chip (SoC) designers over the last 10 years. If any market segment in the semiconductor industry typifies the intense evolutionary pressures that the entire electronics market has undergone, it is the third-party semiconductor IP market, Semico indicated.
"Most of these evolutionary forces are driven by the need to integrate more functionality in fewer devices at the system level and in ever-smaller footprints," said Rich Wawrzyniak, senior analyst for Semico. "The primary method to accomplish this today is through the use of third-party SIP. The SIP market has evolved to supply the solutions SoC designers require to craft their very innovative silicon products in response to ever-changing market requirements."
The Americas IP market will increase over the forecast period to US$1.7 billion by 2017, while the memory IP market will account for 13.6% of total market revenues, Semico also found. The CPU IP market is the largest IP category today, and accounted for 31.7% of total market revenues in 2012, Semico said.
The worldwide market for IP is forecast to be over US$4 billion in 2013, and will double in size by 2017, Semico noted. The forecasted worldwide IP market growth rate of 21.1% for 2013 will beat the 6% forecasted by Semico for the total semiconductor market.
