Electronic System Design Industry Sees Remarkable Growth with $4.9 Billion Revenue in Q4 2024

Overview of Revenue Growth

The Electronic System Design (ESD) industry has demonstrated a remarkable 11% growth, achieving a revenue of $4,927.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. This is a significant rise from the $4,440.9 million recorded in the same quarter of the previous year, according to the latest findings from the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community. Moreover, the report indicates a 12.8% increase in the four-quarter moving average, showcasing consistent growth over time.

Walden C. Rhines, Executive Sponsor of the SEMI Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report, highlighted that the electronic design automation (EDA) sector experienced extensive revenue growth. Interestingly, all product categories exhibited substantial increases, with all but one category—Semiconductor Intellectual Property—showcasing double-digit growth metrics. Regionally, double-digit gains were observed across the Americas, Japan, and the Asia Pacific regions, indicating a robust global demand.

Employment Trends

As for employment within the sector, the EDMD report reveals that the companies included in the analysis employed 61,827 individuals globally in Q4 2024, which represents a 2.9% increase compared to 60,106 employees in Q4 2023. However, this figure reflects a slight decline of 0.9% when compared to Q3 2024. This indicates that while revenue is on the rise, the overall employment situation is somewhat mixed.

Product and Application Revenue Breakdown

Examining the revenue by product and application categories for Q4 2024, several notable trends emerge:
  • - Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE): Revenue surged by 10.9%, totaling $1,696.9 million. The four-quarter moving average for this category increased by 12.3%.
  • - Integrated Circuit (IC) Physical Design and Verification: This area saw a 15.4% rise, accumulating $797.9 million in revenue, with the four-quarter average increasing by 8.1%.
  • - Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Multi-Chip Module (MCM): These categories experienced a jump of 15.9%, recording $476.2 million. The four-quarter moving average rose by 8.3% in this segment.
  • - Semiconductor Intellectual Property (SIP): This sector yielded a 7.9% revenue increase, totaling $1,760.7 million, with the four-quarter moving average climbing by 15.7%.
  • - Services: Revenue growth in this sector was recorded at 11%, reaching $195.6 million, significantly supported by a 26.2% increase in the four-quarter services moving average.

Regional Revenue Insights

The regional breakdown of revenue further illustrates the dynamics of the ESD industry across different markets. Highlights include:
