Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), EDA's largest category, generated revenue of $482.3 million in Q4 2009. This represents a 3.9 percent decrease over the same period in 2008. The four-quarter moving average for CAE declined 9.8 percent.
In the next largest category, IC Physical Design & Verification, revenue decreased to $293.6 million in Q4 2009, a 1.0 percent decrease compared to Q4 2008. The four-quarter moving average declined 7.3 percent for IC Physical Design & Verification.
Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module (PCB & MCM) revenue decreased 3.4 percent compared to Q4 2008, to $131.4 million. The four-quarter moving average for PCB & MCM decreased 8.5 percent.
Semiconductor Intellectual Property (SIP) revenue totaled $272.7 million in Q4 2009, a 4.5 percent decrease compared to Q4 2008. The four-quarter moving average for SIP decreased 10.8 percent.
Services revenue was $82.7 million in Q4 2009, a decrease of 16.4 percent compared to Q4 2008. The four-quarter moving average for services decreased 12.7 percent.
Revenue by Consuming Region
The Americas, EDA's largest region, purchased $560.8 million of EDA products and services in Q4 2009, representing a 1.4 percent decrease compared to Q4 2008. The four-quarter moving average was down 8.1 percent for the region.
Revenue in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) was down 12.1 percent in Q4 2009 compared to Q4 2008 on revenues of $255.2 million. The four-quarter moving average for EMEA was down 16.6 percent.
Fourth quarter 2009 revenue from Japan decreased 9.6 percent to $236.3 million compared to Q4 2008. The four-quarter moving average for Japan decreased 13.2 percent.
The Asia/Pacific (APAC) region increased to $210.3 million in Q4 2009, a 6.3 percent increase compared to the same quarter in 2008. The four-quarter moving average increased 1.2 percent.
About the MSS Report
The EDA Consortium Market Statistics Service reports EDA industry revenue data quarterly and is available by annual subscription. 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 and 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.
