IPnest Forecast Interface IP Category Growth to $2.5B in 2025SemiWiki - Eric Esteve, IPnestJul. 06, 2021 |
Why should the interface IP category see such a high growth rate until 2025? IP vendors revenues totaled $1068 million in 2020, compared with $872 in 2019. That is 22.4% YoY growth rate and confirm that last year YoY value of 18% was the sign for a long-term growth, as IPnest shows in “Interface IP Survey 2016-2020 & Forecast 2021-2025”, just released.
The answer is data-centric application, hyperscalar, datacenter, storage, wired and wireless networking and emerging AI. All these applications share the need for higher and higher bandwidth, driving the growth for interface protocols like PCIe, Ethernet and SerDes or memory controller IP. Why this need from the industry for higher data bandwidth?
