Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Market expected to surge to a valuation of around US$ 12.3 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022-2032. – Persistence Market Research
The consumer electronics market has seen significant increase in demand in recent years. Semiconductor IPs are found in a wide range of consumer electronic gadgets, including smartphones, tablets, and other handheld devices. The need for semiconductor IPs has increased because of rising customer demand for better and more advanced smartphones and devices. For instance, in 2021, smartphone shipments in India reached 173 million units, which was around 14% increase from 2020.
As the system-on-chip idea is implemented in a smartphone, the incorporation of a semiconductor IP makes the device more efficient, smaller, and lightweight. The system-on-chip concept entails storing all major components, such as the memory unit, processing unit, and others, on a single silicon chip, allowing the device to be more power efficient, and effective to use. Such implementation on consumer electronics is driving semiconductor IP market growth.
The market is evolving at a fast pace, and partnerships, investments, and product launches are ongoing.
- In July 2020, Digital Media Professionals announced the release of ‘ZIATM DV740’, the latest version of the AI processor IP specialized for deep learning and AI (Artificial Intelligence) inference processing at the edge.
- In March 2021, to handle video streams in data centers more effectively, VeriSilicon launched the VC9000 video codec and its VIP9400 artificial intelligence (AI) and neural network processing technology.
