Report Code: SE 1115

"Semiconductor (Silicon) Intellectual Property (IP) Market (2012 – 2017), Global Forecasts & Analysis By Form Factor, Design Architecture, Processor Type, Applications & Geography – Featuring In-Depth Analysis Of IP Business Models, Value Chain, Industry Segments & Key Industry Players"

The Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) market is expanding robustly in size and prominence at a growth rate two times faster than the overall semiconductor market. As process technologies shrink further at the sub-nanometer level, the gap between accessible silicon and designers’ ability to utilize that space keeps on widening. IP is vital in ameliorating design productivity at advanced design processes. With relatively slower growth in the overall semiconductor market, expense management has gained focus, which is driving the growth of third-party IP vendors.

Semiconductor industry players are actively outsourcing the IP design and development activities not core to their product differentiation. Today’s System-on-Chips and advanced ICs integrate a variety of advanced functionalities into a single device to offer superior performance, with ever more IP cores on a single chip. The rapidly growing consumer applications demand extensively integrated functionality and competitive features, such as optimization between performance and power consumption, all at an aggressive price point. As new players are increasingly implementing a fab-lite or fabless strategy, the fabs and manufacturing processes are getting consolidated. By rendering access to silicon-proven, high-quality IP during the fabrication processes, key players are able to increasingly outsource IP. The growing trend of third-party IP vendors and increasing licensing of advanced IP blocks by several key players are bound to change the landscape of the global semiconductor IP market.

This report on the global Semiconductor (Silicon) IP market analyzes the Semiconductor IP industry’s value chain, giving a bird’s eye-view of all the major industry segments and allied industry segments such as EDA vendors, foundry players, fabless players, fab players and IDMs on the Silicon IP industry and market.

In semiconductors and electronics, a semiconductor intellectual property core, commonly known as an IP Core or IP Block is a unit of architectural layout of a specific or whole part of a semiconductor chip. IP cores, after development by third parties, are licensed to semiconductor chip manufacturers, in general. Or they can be developed in-house, owned, and used by a single semiconductor chip manufacturer alone. IP cores can be used as building blocks within semiconductor chips to add advanced features and characteristics by developing them as per the prescribed architectural designs.

IP cores have revolutionized the semiconductor and electronic design segment having a sound impact on the design of circuits on a semiconductor chip so far. By licensing a circuit design several times, the IP core licensor spreads the cost of development among several chip makers. The need for highly advanced IP blocks for the advancing semiconductor chips such as heterogeneous SoCs, embedded processors (with DSP, FPGA or ASIC) have enabled IP developers to allocate more of their resources into creating the differentiating features in the IP blocks for the semiconductor chips. As a result, chip makers have shifted their focus to getting IP cores developed more quickly. Several industries now solely rely on constant technical development in the semiconductor industry. In future, this principal driving force will shift towards the Semiconductor IP industry. Miniaturization is progressing and becoming more expensive, its technological and economic benefits are slowly decreasing and new alternative sources of value are rising in the knowledge economy such as the Semiconductor IP. This transition of focus will have huge implications. It will show up in macroeconomic indicators of growth and development and with the birth of new business models, new sources of value will be defined and appropriated.

The growth trend of the Semiconductor IP market revenue can be observed by the CAGRs over various time periods. The CAGR of the Semiconductor IP market from 1997 to 2002 was 17.82% while the value from 2002 to 2007 stood at 11.54%. Post 2007, the market again picked up growth and the forecasted CAGR from 2012 to 2017 is estimated to be 14.47%. In 2012, the global Semiconductor IP market is estimated to be $2.90 billion. The percentage share of Semiconductor IP industry in the global revenue for semiconductors was approximately between 0.3% and 1.0% over the years; stood at 0.71% in 2011, and is estimated to increase to 0.85% by the end of 2012 and 0.99% by the end of 2017.

The Semiconductor IP market is currently fueled by the increased production of advanced semiconductor chips such as SoCs. The global Semiconductor IP market is sub-divided into various types of IP like Processor IP, Application Specific IP, Programmable IP, Memory IP, Digital IP, Analog & Mixed Signal IP, and Data Converter IP. This sub-classification is also done for both Integrated Circuits and SoCs. The Semiconductor Processor IP market is segmented into Micro-processor IP and Digital Signal Processor IP markets that are again sub-divided into sub-segments. The global Processor IP market is also sub-segmented into Standard and Embedded Processor IP segments while the latter is sub-divided into Single-Core and Multi-Core Processor IP segments.

The Embedded technology is increasingly penetrating the Semiconductor industry, thereby increasing the share of embedded IP over general IP segment in all the fields. The rising focus on multi-core technology has paved way for huge revenue in the embedded IP market segments. The global Digital Signal Processing (DSP) IP market segment is one of the fastest growing market segments and expected to grow from roughly at a CAGR of 18.25%, which is faster growth rate than that of the overall semiconductor IP market which has CAGR of 14.47% from 2012 to 2017.

Computers, ICT, and Consumer Electronics are the three primary bases among all the end-user verticals for the global Semiconductor IP market. Military, Defense & Aerospace, and Automotive are its upcoming application sectors. Though the ICT Sector holds the largest percentage share of the market; in terms of CAGR, the “Computers” and “Consumer Electronics” sectors’ statistics have higher CAGR than that of the ICT sector, due to two major reasons – Tablet PCs (for Computers) and Smartphones (for Consumer Electronics). The percentage share of Computers sector is increasing, while that of ICT sector is on the decline, as the share of Consumer Electronics sector roughly remains the same.

The global Semiconductor IP market revenue is split into seven major application segments based on end-user verticals – namely Computers, ICT, Consumer Electronics, Industrial, Military-Defense-Aerospace, Medical and RF, & Others. The percentage shares of these end-user verticals in the total revenue, as of 2011 are given in the figure below.

Also given below is an illustrative representation of the average annual percentage growth (from 2009 to 2011) of Semiconductor IP revenue of the top 10 players of the Semiconductor IP market.
