ESD Alliance: EDA Industry, PCB Post Revenue Growth in Q4
March 28, 2017 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
The Electronic System Design (ESD) Alliance Market Statistics Service (MSS) today announced that the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry revenue increased 18.9% for Q4 2016 to $2.45 billion, compared to $2.06 billion in Q4 2015. PCB & MCM earned revenue of $235.4 million for Q4 2016, an increase of 42.5% over the same period in 2015. The four-quarters moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four quarters, increased by 9.2%.
"The EDA industry reported double-digit growth for Q4 in all four geographic regions Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Japan, and Asia/Pacific. “The Americas reported more than $1B for Q4, an all-time record, and Japan grew in double digits for the full year," said Walden C. Rhines, board sponsor for the ESD Alliance MSS and chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. "All product categories also saw very solid fourth quarter growth with CAE, Semiconductor IP, IC Physical Design & Verification and PCB/MCM reporting double-digit increases."
Companies that were tracked employed 36,412 professionals in Q4 2016, an increase of 6.6% compared to the 34,169 people employed in Q4 2015, and up 2.5% compared to Q3 2016.

About the MSS Report
The ESD Alliance Market Statistics Service reports EDA industry revenue data quarterly and is available to Alliance 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.
About the ESD Alliance
The Electronic System Design Alliance (ESD Alliance) is an international association of companies that provide goods and services that are the foundation of the semiconductor design ecosystem. This ecosystem encompasses all of the activities required to create a semiconductor design and associated hardware and software for manufacturing and delivery of new electronic products.
Member companies include developers and suppliers of EDA, semiconductor IP, embedded software, packaging, PCB/interconnect and others. Collectively, they provide the software, services, intellectual property and hardware needed to design and verify semiconductors, associated software, packaging and interconnect technologies for the manufacturing of these products. Markets served by these products range from computers, communications, networking, medical and industrial equipment, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics to emerging markets such as the Internet of Things (IoT).
