Global Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market Grows at 5.9% CAGR, Set to Reach US$ 13.5 Billion - TMR

A new market intelligence report projects robust growth for the global Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) market, forecasting an increase from US$ 7.1 billion in 2023 to US$ 13.5 billion by the close of 2034, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The comprehensive analysis delves into key drivers, trends, competitive landscape, regional dynamics, and future prospects shaping this critical segment of the semiconductor ecosystem.

Market Overview: Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP), also known as Virtual Components (VCs), represents pre-designed functional blocks such as processor cores, memory interfaces, and encryption engines that can be licensed and integrated into semiconductor chips. These building blocks accelerate chip development, reduce time-to-market, and mitigate design risk. The industry is tracking significant expansion, propelled by surging demand for AI-optimized System-on-Chips (SoCs), heightened data-security requirements, and renewed defense modernization efforts.
