Despite the economic downturn, the semiconductor intellectual property (IP) market is growing while the semiconductor component market faces contraction.
PARIS — Despite the economic downturn, the semiconductor intellectual property (IP) market is growing while the semiconductor component market faces contraction. As such semiconductor IP is an active, creative and capital-efficient part of the electronics landscape.
Jim Tully, vice president and chief of research for semiconductors at Gartner Inc. (Stamford, Connecticut) delivered a forceful message to the IP 2008 IP-based Electronic System Design & Reuse conference earlier this month in Grenoble, France. The gist was the downturn will end and intellectual property and design services will emerge stronger than they were before. Although 2008 has not ended yet Tully said he expects the semiconductor IP market will exceed $2 billion this year and show about a 7.7-percent year-on-year growth.
