Increasing Use of Semiconductor Devices in End-User Segments Ensuring Market Growth in the Asian EDA Tools Market
DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90644) has announced the
addition of "Asian EDA Tools Market" to their offering.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Asian EDA Tools
Markets provides a detailed analysis of the Asian electronic design
automation (EDA) tools market (excluding Japan) from 2003 to 2013. In
this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine
the following markets: computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, IC
physical design and verification, and PCB layout tools. Intellectual
property (IP) and EDA services.
Value-added applications across various segments such as defense
and healthcare are driving the need for novel electronic design
automation (EDA) technologies .The automotive industry is yet another
growth opportunity for analog EDA tool vendors because of the
increased use of electronics in vehicles. New consumer electronic
products are also being introduced and the need for IC customization
with low cost and increased complexity has to be met by these
next-generation EDA tools. This driver is likely to have a high impact
on the market throughout the forecast period.
However, the high degree of technical change within the
semiconductor industry, particularly shrinking design geometrics, is a
major challenge for the EDA industry. While traditional concerns
regarding chip design centered on speed and the chip area, there are
now concerns relating to power, signal integrity, yield, and metal
migration. These require new tools as well as upgrades to existing
tools such as new or enhanced design-for-test and
design-for-manufacturability functionality. "Although the complexity
of EDA tools has increased, the revenue generated remains limited,"
notes the analyst of this research service. "Significant EDA revenue
growth is important for customers as well as vendors because it funds
the R&D activities that make the development of new tools and upgrades
possible."
Advanced Semiconductor Nodes Driving Semiconductor Manufacturers
to Invest in New EDA Tools
Investment in new tools and technologies for 90 nm and 45 nm
semiconductor design is increasing rapidly. Designers are increasingly
moving to advanced nodes, since the smaller die size can reduce cost,
boost capacity, and allow more integration of functionality on a
single chip. Design activity at 90 nm node is the fastest growing area
driving the need for improved EDA tools. EDA tools at 90 nm node for
300 mm wafers need to keep pace with the design needs of the
customers. The present EDA tools for 90 nm designs will be further
useful at 65 nm and 45 nm nodes. The impact of this driver is likely
to be high throughout the forecast period.
Overall, while the world EDA tools market has grown at just over 3
to 4 percent, the Asian market (excluding Japan) has shown
double-digit growth and is expected to continue to grow at a healthy
rate of 11 to 14 percent in the coming years. In Asia, the Taiwanese
market is said to be the biggest and the South Korean, Indian, and
Chinese markets are growing at a rapid pace. "Consumer electronics is
the fastest growing applications market in Asia," says the analyst.
"The other popular applications markets are telecom, industrial
controls, electronic instruments, and medical instruments."
