Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) And Read-Only Memory (ROM) Design Intellectual Property (IP) Market Global Report 2026

The static random access memory (sram) and read-only memory (rom) design intellectual property (ip) market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.7 billion in 2025 to $1.82 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing SoC design complexity, rising semiconductor design outsourcing, growing demand for pre-verified memory blocks, increasing need to reduce chip development time, and rising adoption of licensed semiconductor IP.

The static random access memory (sram) and read-only memory (rom) design intellectual property (ip) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for advanced memory architectures, increasing need for process-portable memory IP, rising adoption of multi-voltage memory designs, growing demand for faster memory access performance, and increasing focus on memory IP interoperability. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-density SRAM and ROM IP cores, growing demand for silicon-verified memory IP blocks, rising preference for reusable memory circuit designs, increasing integration of configurable memory IP into SoCs and ICs, and growing emphasis on memory IP portability across semiconductor process technologies.

The expansion of 5G infrastructure is expected to propel the growth of the static random access memory (SRAM) and read-only memory (ROM) design intellectual property (IP) market in the coming years. 5G infrastructure refers to the network of physical and digital components such as small cells, base stations, antennas, fiber optic systems, and core network equipment that enable the delivery of fifth-generation wireless communication services. The expansion of 5G infrastructure is driven by increasing demand for faster data speeds, as bandwidth-intensive applications such as video streaming, cloud computing, and real-time communication require high bandwidth and low latency. The expansion of 5G infrastructure is driving demand for advanced semiconductor devices, thereby increasing the need for high-performance, low-latency, and energy-efficient static random access memory (SRAM) and read-only memory (ROM) design intellectual property (IP) to support next-generation network equipment, edge computing, and connected devices. For instance, in December 2023, according to a report published by the Office of Communications (Ofcom), a UK-based government office, the UK recorded over 18,500 5G deployments across approximately 81,000 sites, rising from around 12,000 deployments in 2022, reflecting a significant year-on-year increase. Therefore, the expansion of 5G infrastructure is driving the growth of the static random access memory (SRAM) and read-only memory (ROM) design intellectual property (IP) market.

Major companies operating in the static random access memory (SRAM) and read-only memory (ROM) design intellectual property (IP) market are focusing on establishing strategic partnerships to accelerate memory IP innovation, strengthen semiconductor design capabilities, and expand their market presence. Strategic partnerships refer to long-term collaborations between companies that combine expertise, technologies, and resources to accelerate innovation, broaden market reach, and achieve shared business objectives. For instance, in August 2024, M31 Technology Corporation, a Taiwan-based silicon intellectual property provider, collaborated with Tower Semiconductor, an Israel-based semiconductor foundry company, to develop advanced SRAM and ROM IP solutions for Tower Semiconductor's 65nm power management platform. The collaboration introduced silicon-validated Single Port SRAM, One Port SRAM, and ROM IP memory compilers featuring low-power analog FET integration and multiple Deep N-Well voltage options. These solutions are optimized for applications including Internet of Things (IoT), smart wearables, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), and artificial intelligence (AI), supporting advanced semiconductor designs across emerging technology applications.

In August 2025, Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a US-based software and electronic design automation (EDA) company, acquired Arm’s Artisan Foundation IP business for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Cadence aimed to broaden its semiconductor design IP portfolio by integrating Arm’s Artisan Foundation IP, including SRAM memory compiler technology and SoC design solutions, while accelerating the development of advanced chips. Arm Holdings plc is a UK-based semiconductor foundation IP company that provides standard cell libraries, embedded SRAM memory compilers, GPIO IP, memory interfaces, and other physical IP for ASIC and SoC development.
