Imagination fades in 2016 semiconductor IP market
July 04, 2017
By Peter Clarke , eeNews
ARM continued to dominate a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) market that grew strongly in 2016, but Imagination struggled as its restructuring during that year hurt sales, according to a report from IPnest. The strongest growth companies were Rambus and Ceva.
The 2016 semiconductor IP market was worth $3.39 billion, up 13.1 percent from the figure in 2015.
ARM, now part of Softbank Group and the long-time market leader, gained market share with 20.4 percent year-on-year growth, while third placed Imagination experienced a sales contraction of 21.5 percent. ARM's Mali architecture also overtook Imagination's PowerVR in the GPU and image signal processing category in 2016.
ARM's IP revenues in 2016, of $1.65 billion, gave it 48.4 percent market share. ARM is followed by Synopsys with about $450 million and 13.1 percent market share. Like Imagination fourth ranked Cadence also saw IP revenues decreased in 2016.
