As China accelerates its push for chip self-reliance, EDA — often called the “mother of chips” — is moving into the spotlight. According to EE Times China, Shanghai-based Univista filed for IPO guidance on December 26, marking a key milestone for the five-year-old domestic EDA firm’s entry into the capital markets.
According to TrendForce, Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA accounted for 32%, 29%, and 13% of the market in 2024 — a combined share of 74% globally. EE Times China suggests that their combined market share in China exceeds 80%.
