3. Market Leadership - Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Market

The global semiconductor IP market size is projected to grow from USD 5.5 billion in 2021 to USD 7.2 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.4%. The market slightly  declined in 2020, mainly due to the impact of COVID-19. The supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic  affected the market especially  automotive, Industrial and others significantly. Also, due to lockdown restrictions, companies were not able to source the required labor for their operations due to travel restrictions.

Though the market is expected to be impacted in 2020-2021, it is expected to fully recover by mid 2022. Increasing the advancements for multicore technology across various sectors as well as rising demand for modern SoC (system on chip) designs for different applications are the primary factors driving the market growth. Moreover, growing adoption of semiconductor IPs in consumer electronics, telecommunications & data center as well as automotive verticals will drive the demand for this technology in the near future.

The semiconductor IP market is consolidated, owing to the dominance of few major players accounting to 70-75% of the entire global market. Key strategies adopted by these players to expand their product portfolio, increase their market share, and expand their presence in the market are partnerships, collborations and product launches. Many market players adopted product launches and deals as their primary business strategies. For instance, In November 2021, Elmos Semiconductor SE announced a long-term partnership with Semiconductor IP market leader Arm, whose energy-efficient processor designs have enabled advanced computing in more than 200 billion chips to date. Elmos has licensed a range of IP from the industry-leading Arm® Cortex®-M family for its next-generation automotive microcontroller unit (MCU) products. For instance, In October 2021, Synopsys announced the industrys first complete HBM3 IP solution, including controller, Physical Layer/Device (PHY), and verification IP for 2.5D multi-die package systems. HBM3 technology helps designers meet essential high-bandwidth and low-power memory requirements for SoC designs targeting high-performance computing, AI, and graphics applications.

Arm is a subsidiary of SoftBank Group (Japan) .Arm engages in the design of microprocessors, physical IP, and related technology and software and sells design tools to develop microprocessor applications. It further licenses and sells its technology and products such as processors, multimedia, physical IP, development tools, security IP, and system IP to electronic companies. It utilizes different technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, as well as 5G in its spectrum of product offerings. The company caters to various industries, including automotive, healthcare, industrial, infrastructure, consumer electronics, and mobile computing.The company has its reach globally expanding its product offerings in North America, APAC, Europe and ROW.The company focuses on research and development in order tp enhance its product portfolio. For instance, in May 2021, Arm launched total compute solutions based on the new Armv9 architecture to advance the core CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU), and system IP to deliver performance and efficiency at the system level. These are the first Armv9 Cortex CPUs built for premium performance and efficiency.

Synopsys provides software, IP, and services to design integrated circuits (ICs) and electronic systems. It offers technology solutions for chip design, verification, IP integration, and software security and quality testing. The company operates through two segments: Semiconductor & System Design segment and Software Integrity segment.
