Product Overview

Semiconductor intellectual property (IP), also referred to as IP cores, are the reusable design components. Semiconductor IP is used to build advanced integrated circuits (IC's). These design elements are sold as rights for the design to be used and replicated and are thus referred to as intellectual property. These IP cores are combined to create chip-based systems (SoCs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and application-specific standard products (ASSPs). It is usually designed to be leased out to multiple vendors as a fundamental component for various chip designs and sophisticated applications. It is pre-verified and frequently has a license fee associated with its use. SIPs are commonly used for processors, peripherals, interconnections, and memory drives. Usually, they are produced as either individual soft IP blocks that can be synthesized according to any production process, or hard IP blocks that are used only for unique implementations.

Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Market: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rise in Demand for the Consumer Electronics

Different types of products include consumer electronics, such as TVs, cameras & camcorders, notebooks, audio/video equipment, smartphones & tablets, desktops, laptops, gaming consoles and accessories, home appliances, wearable electronics, etc. Demand for consumer electronics is growing especially in developing countries such as India, China, and more. In turn, the growth of the semiconductor IP market is expected to increase the adoption of mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices due to the growing demand for high-speed broadband connectivity and rampant advances in technology. Additionally, increased storage space, fast processing speed, larger displays, and higher resolution displays are also fueling the global mobile market's growth. Subsequently, this is expected to create a favorable environment for the global semiconductor IP market to develop.

New Technological Developments

The physical limits of historically established semiconductor technologies can theoretically be bypassed by emerging technologies such as graphene transistors, self-organizing molecular machines, carbon nanotubes, and quantum computing. Besides, such radical innovations are capable of replacing existing technologies, which could create ample opportunities for the IP semiconductor industry. The design and production of semiconductor IP are continuously decreasing. For example, due to reduced die size, scaling of the processes, heterogeneous integration, and multiple layers processed together, the use of monolithic 3D IC technology is projected to reduce the wafer cost. This cost reduction supplements the growth of the semiconductors IP market.

Impact of IP thefts and counterfeit concern on the semiconductor IP market

IP robberies, counterfeits, and disputes are major challenges facing the semiconductor IP industry; the impact of these problems has increased over the past few years. The shadow semiconductor supply chain is another big factor that generates a serious issue and fuels IP robberies, counterfeits, conflicts, and piracy. For the global semiconductor industry and manufacturers, intermediaries, and consumers, the counterfeit semiconductor chip supply chain, involving pirated semiconductor IP, is more devastating. IP counterfeiting, including the production of counterfeit components and IP core system-level designs, is the main economic challenge to existing business models that have been followed globally.
