  • Ceva, Inc. increased its AI IP base, this time, 10 NeuPro NPU deals, including one with a leading PC OEM and Microchip Technology, and AI brought in more than 20 percent of the licensing revenue. These accolades create high demand of AI IPs that are high-performing and power efficient in edge, automotive, and consumer markets.
  • The increased use of IoT increases the need to have efficient and scalable IP, which would impetrate innovation and market expansion of semiconductor.

Restraint: Stringent Security Requirements Expose Weaknesses Slowing IP Adoption in SafetyCritical Applications        

  • The growing integration of semiconductor IP in safety-critical applications, including automotive ADAS, medical equipment, and industrial control, underscores the difficulty of achieving the most stringent security and functional safety requirements. IP blocks should be thoroughly checked, formally checked, and compliance tested to meet specifications such as ISO 26262 and PSA Certified that can both lengthen design cycles and raise costs of development.

  • This complexity is a frequent cause of delay in adoption especially to smaller firms that do not have the resources to install sophisticated security systems or carry out extensive functional safety certification. Also, changing cybersecurity threats and the necessity of side-channel resistance necessitate constant changes in IP designs, which not only adds to the time- and cost-expensive deployment but also costs.
  • Strict security and safety standards slow down IP integration, hindering quick uptake in critical system applications.

Opportunity: Expansion into Chiplet Integration and Interconnect Standards Offers Transformational Revenue Potential

  • The transition to modular chiplet based architecture over monolithic SoCs is a huge growth opportunity to semiconductor IP vendors. Chiplet-based architecture needs strong interconnect IP, standard interfaces and integration solutions to provide high-bandwidth and low-latency communication between heterogeneous dies.

  • This opens up possibilities where IP vendors can provide scalable, high performing solutions with ease in designing SoC, ease in verification and quick time to market. With the increased implementation of chiplet technologies in AI, automotive and consumer electronics, the need to implement specialized IP in interconnect and modular design is on the increase.

Research Design Graphic

MarketGenics leverages a dedicated industry panel of experts and a comprehensive suite of paid databases to effectively collect, consolidate, and analyze market intelligence.

Our approach has consistently proven to be reliable and effective in generating accurate market insights, identifying key industry trends, and uncovering emerging business opportunities.

Through both primary and secondary research, we capture and analyze critical company-level data such as manufacturing footprints, including technical centers, R&D facilities, sales offices, and headquarters.

Our expert panel further enhances our ability to estimate market size for specific brands based on validated field-level intelligence.

Our data mining techniques incorporate both parametric and non-parametric methods, allowing for structured data collection, sorting, processing, and cleaning.

Demand projections are derived from large-scale data sets analyzed through proprietary algorithms, culminating in robust and reliable market sizing.

Research Approach

The bottom-up approach builds market estimates by starting with the smallest addressable market units and systematically aggregating them to create comprehensive market size projections. This method begins with specific, granular data points and builds upward to create the complete market landscape.
Customer Analysis → Segmental Analysis → Geographical Analysis

The top-down approach starts with the broadest possible market data and systematically narrows it down through a series of filters and assumptions to arrive at specific market segments or opportunities. This method begins with the big picture and works downward to increasingly specific market slices.
