TechNavio today launched its report Global Semiconductor IP Market 2011“2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers™ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio™s Hardware team said the Global Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) market is growing because of the outsourcing of design and architecture development by companies. Since the cost of developing IPs has increased in developed countries, semiconductor IP vendors have moved most of their R&D centers to developing countries in Asia. Moreover, since the Asian countries already possess semiconductor skills in terms of fabrication and foundries, many semiconductor IP vendors prefer to move their activities into the APAC region.
According to the report, to control the developmental costs of IPs, companies prefer to buy third-party IPs. This is particularly true in the case of advanced nodes, where the complexity of IP development increases rapidly with the increasing rate of data, restricted design rules, and increasing variability. IPs are also sourced from third-party vendors because of the increasing complexities of designs as a result of the advancements in technology.
Further, the report also discusses that maintaining cost and quality balance is hindering the growth of the Global Semiconductor IP market.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
