Electronic System Design Industry Logs $4 Billion in Revenue in Q1 2023, ESD Alliance Reports
July 10, 2023 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Electronic System Design (ESD) industry revenue increased 12% from $3,527.7 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $3,951.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, announced in its latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report. The four-quarter moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four, rose 12.7%.
“The electronic design automation (EDA) industry continued to post double-digit gains in Q1 2023, with increases in all product categories and geographic regions,” said Walden C. Rhines, Executive Sponsor of the SEMI Electronic Design Market Data report. “Product categories Computer Aided Engineering, IC Physical Design and Verification, Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module, and Services all reported double digit increases.”
The companies tracked in the EDMD report employed 57,696 people globally in Q1 2023, a 12.9% jump over the Q1 2022 headcount of 51,093 and up 4.5% compared to Q4 2022.
The quarterly EDMD report contains detailed revenue information with the following category and geographic breakdowns.
