EDA Industry Posts Solid Revenue Growth in Q1
July 7, 2015 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The EDA Consortium (EDAC) Market Statistics Service (MSS) has announced that the EDA industry revenue increased 7.5 percent for Q1 2015 to $1.87 billion, up from $1.75 billion in Q1 2014. PCB and MCM revenue rose 1.1 percent compared to the previous-year period. The four-quarters moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four quarters, increased by 8.0 percent.
"The EDA Industry continues to show solid revenue growth in the first quarter, led by semiconductor IP," said Walden C. Rhines, board sponsor for the EDAC MSS and chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. "All categories showed revenue increases except CAE. Geographically, the Americas and Asia-Pacific reported double-digit growth."
Companies that were tracked employed a record 32,127 professionals in Q1 2015, an increase of 5.5 percent compared to the 30,440 people employed in Q1 2014, and up 1.2 percent compared to Q4 2015.
The complete quarterly MSS report, containing detailed revenue information broken out by both categories and geographic regions, is available to members of the EDA Consortium.

About the MSS Report
The EDA Consortium Market Statistics Service reports EDA industry revenue data quarterly and is available to EDAC members. Both public and private companies contribute data to the report. Each quarterly report is published approximately three months after quarter close. MSS report data is segmented as follows: revenue type (product licenses and maintenance, services, and SIP), application (CAE, PCB/MCM Layout, and IC Physical Design & Verification), and region (the Americas, Europe Middle East and Africa, Japan, and Asia Pacific), with many subcategories of detail provided. The report also tracks total employment of the reporting companies.
