Semiconductor intellectual property allows manufacturers to design chips faster using existing blocks. Semiconductor intellectual property cores are used to enhance the quality of devices and increase the efficiency of product. Rise in demand for reduced design and manufacturing costs across the world have resulted in the growth of the semiconductor intellectual property market. Moreover, a rise in the adoption of modern system on chips (SOC) designs and increase in adoption of outsourcing of semiconductor components are expected to drive the semiconductor intellectual property market. In addition, with an increase in the adoption of semiconductor intellectual property, many IP vendors are focusing on delivering customized specifications according to demand. IP vendors are divided into IP developers and licensors and open source IP vendors. They provide semiconductor IP to manufacturers in order to reduce the labor cost required to develop elementary components of devices. Thus, the growing presence of third-party IP vendors and increase in licensing of software with semiconductor IP by several key players are projected to drive market expansion during the forecast period.
Based on type, the semiconductor intellectual property market has been categorized into verification IP, ASIC, memory IP, interface IP, and processor IP. In terms of architecture design, the semiconductor intellectual property market has been classified into hard IP core and soft IP core. Based on application, the semiconductor intellectual property market has been divided into health care, telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive, and others. In terms of country, the market in North America has been divided into the U.S., Canada, and Rest of North America. Similarly, the market in Europe has been divided into Germany, the U.K., France, and the Rest of Europe. The market in Asia Pacific has been segmented into China, Japan, India, and the Rest of Asia Pacific. Middle East & Africa covers the GCC countries, South Africa, and Rest of Middle East & Africa. Similarly, South America includes Brazil and the Rest of South America. The report also includes competitive profiling of the major players operating in the semiconductor intellectual property market. Important business strategies adopted by key players, their market positioning, and recent developments have also been identified in the research report.
