Posted by Steve Stark on February 1st, 2022

The report \"Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Market with COVID-19 Impact Analysis by Design IP (Processor IP, Memory IP, Interface IP, Other IPs), IP Source (Royalty, Licensing), IP Core (Hard IP, Soft IP), Vertical, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2026 \", is expected to grow from USD 5.5  billion in 2021 to USD 7.2 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.4%. Increasing the advancements for multicore technology across various sectors as well as rising demand for modern SoC (system on chip) designs for different applications are the primary factors driving the market growth. Moreover, growing adoption of semiconductor IPs in consumer electronics, telecommunications & data center as well as automotive verticals will drive the demand for this technology in the near future.

The market has slightly declined in 2020, mainly due to the impact of COVID-19. The supply chains was disrupted in March and April 2020 due to the lockdown imposed by various governments and labor shortages in these industries due to travel restrictions, that affected the semiconductor IP market. Though the market is impacted in 2020, it is expected to fully recover by 2021.

Processor IP is estimated to contribute largest market share in the said market during the forecast period

The processor IP segment is expected to hold a major share of the semiconductor IP market during the forecast period. 5G technology is making massive increments in speed, bandwidth, and data throughput for automobile and mobile applications by introducing carrier aggregation and increased throughput with advanced modulation via mmWave spectrums. Such advancements have increased the complexity of infrastructures, basebands, and application processor technologies. To address this issue, new innovative processor IPs are required. All these factors are expected to fuel the demand for processor IPs during the forecast period.

Automotive vertical is estimated to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period

The semiconductor IP market for the automotive verticals is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing applications of microprocessor units (MPUs), microcontroller units (MCUs), sensors, analog integrated circuits (ICs), interfaces, and memory in autonomous and premium cars. The introduction of technologies such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), adaptive cruise control, and intelligent parking assistance systems are expected to further boost the market growth. Furthermore, the market growth can also be attributed to the increased demand for vehicle connectivity and the growing significance of connected cars.
