[197 Pages Report] The Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market size was estimated at USD 8.51 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 9.09 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.16% to reach USD 13.81 billion by 2030.
Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP), in the realm of electronics and chip manufacturing, refers to the proprietary designs, architectures, and specialized functionalities that are foundational to creating semiconductor chips and devices. These IPs often manifest as standardized building blocks that are licensable to other companies so that they can develop advanced integrated circuits (ICs) without reinventing core technology. The growing consumption of electronic goods elevates the need for semiconductor IPs. In addition, the surge in electric vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) enhances the demand for automotive IPs. However, intellectual property theft and piracy are significant concerns, deterring investments into new semiconductor IP development. Furthermore, continued research into low-power semiconductor IPs remains crucial, particularly for mobile and IoT applications.
Design IP: Ongoing advancements in interface IP to support higher bandwidths and multiple interface
Interface IP refers to the pre-designed components that facilitate communication between various elements of a system-on-chip (SoC). It includes elements such as USB controllers, PCIe interfaces, and Ethernet MACs, which are critical for connectivity in modern electronics. The preference for this type of IP is generally based on the need for standard compliance, high-speed data transfer, and low power consumption. Memory IP encompasses various types of memory components, such as SRAM, DRAM, and flash memory that are integrated into SoCs. The selection of memory IP is largely dependent on the application’s requirements for speed, size, power consumption, and cost. Low-power memory IP is preferred for mobile devices, whereas high-speed memory is sought after for applications, including data centers and high-performance computing. Processor IP includes intellectual property cores for CPUs, GPUs, and other types of processors. This type of IP is crucial for determining the processing capabilities and efficiency of an SoC. A preference for processor IP may be dictated by factors such as computational power, efficiency, integration, and the specific instruction set architectures (ISA) required by the application.
End-User: Growing adoption of electric vehicles significantly increases the usage of Semiconductor IPs
The automobile sector has been increasingly adopting advanced semiconductor IP to drive innovation in areas such as autonomous driving, electric vehicles (EVs), and in-vehicle infotainment systems. Automotive manufacturers prioritize semiconductor IP that offers high reliability, functional safety, and compliance with industry standards. In the computing segment, semiconductor IP is central to developing CPUs, GPUs, memory solutions, and other critical components for personal computers, servers, and networking equipment. Performance, energy efficiency, and scalability are the key considerations. Semiconductor IPs for consumer electronics cover a broad range of products, such as tablets, smartphones, and smart home devices. The focus in this segment is on IPs that enable connectivity, multimedia processing, and user interface enhancements. The industrial segment confines a wide range of applications, from factory automation to medical devices. Semiconductor IP needs for this segment are diverse, but they often prioritize robustness, long-term support, and the ability to operate in harsh environments.
