U.S. Cloud EDA Market Overview

The U.S. cloud electronic design automation market comprises various open-source and commercial software tools that are generally used for designing complex electronic systems including integrated circuits (ICs) in the semiconductor industry. By employing PaaS (Platform-as-a-service), cloud EDA software solutions allow users to access it from anywhere, assisting enterprises in the development and design of complicated ICs. Cloud EDA also facilitates the development of ICs which are primarily used in various industries like healthcare, aerospace, and transportation. Additionally, cloud EDA helps organizations reduce  the total time taken to complete the simulation process, physical verification, fill requirements, and other procedures allowing them to deliver their designs to market faster.

U.S. Cloud EDA Market Trend

Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for miniature electronic devices owing to rising 3D printing Industry

The overall size of printed circuit boards (PCBs) has been shrinking in tandem with the downsizing electronic components connected to them. Moreover, the rising developments in transistor density technologies have enabled more electronic components and devices to shrink in size. Additionally, it provides greater functionality to newer devices that require multiple boards in a single packaging or the simultaneous connection of multiple devices for the smooth functioning. With the help of cloud EDA, designers can leverage various tools for effective miniaturization, thereby reducing the developmental costs of the end-product and encouraging designers to come up with more innovative solutions to bind more components into a confined space.

Opportunities

U.S. Cloud EDA Market Technological Advancements

The U.S. cloud EDA companies are increasingly leveraging analytics, machine learning, and other technological breakthroughs to serve as an opportunity for the cloud EDA industry. The ability to analyze the progress of a project, identify potential resource optimization opportunities, prevent IP theft, and predicting a tape-out schedule are some of the most pivotal factors for successful design projects today. The standard methods could only identify problems when they become obvious making it difficult for the companies to rectify those errors, resulting in increased expenditures. Every day, terabytes of design change and tool run data are generated by complex IC (Integrated Circuit) projects. Source code edits, synthesis, verification runs, timing, place, power, and route tasks generate terabytes of data that is leveraged by engineers in their day-to-day activities, however, there has not been much aggregation or detailed analysis of the aforementioned results.

U.S. Cloud EDA Market Restraints

Vulnerability due to Open-Source Software

Open-Source software means that the design files and the code pertaining to the open-source hardware project are hosted for the general public. A hardware project comprises a schematic (diagram for an electric circuit) associated with code for a microcontroller, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, and 3D CAD files. As a result, a large number of people have access to all of these critical parts of open-source software projects, making them more exposed to threats and viruses. Despite the fact that many users leverage this access to report issues and provide suggestions for improvements to the software, many users leverage this access to exploit the software project’s vulnerabilities and generate errors and bugs that can infect the hardware with malware and viruses, resulting in identity theft. Additionally, the vulnerabilities in the parser (a software component) could allow the user to access files without any action. Because cloud EDA is still in its early stages of development, it poses some security problems due to its open-source capabilities and cyber security threats.

Impact of COVID-19 on U.S. Cloud EDA Market

The pandemic has restricted activities for various businesses around the world. However, the system-level design market witnessed a rise amid the pandemic. As a result of the rising complexity of system specifications, the companies are now incorporating newer methods for identifying design errors at an early stage of development to ensure smooth functioning of the final product. This has driven the demand for system-level design simulation which has become a necessity in the U.S. cloud EDA market amid the pandemic. A system-level simulation allows the examination of system specifications against the requirements before proceeding with the hardware component implementations. Once incorporated in the cloud EDA, this can help the companies to properly examine the design of semiconductor chips used in their products and verify them before proceeding with the hardware. This can help to cut expenses and time spent on the development of new product designs. Furthermore, simulation aids in the reduction of effort associated with the testing segments that are done at various phases of the design process.

U.S. Cloud EDA Market: By Type

The U.S. Cloud EDA market can be bifurcated into four types: CAE (Computer-aided engineering), SIP (semiconductor intellectual property), IC (Integrated Circuit) Physical Design and Verification, Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and Multi-Chip Module (MCM). The SIP (semiconductor intellectual property) Cloud EDA type holds the largest share in the market and it grew positively in the historical period. In the semiconductor and cloud EDA market, SIP refers to a design or verification unit pre-packed and available for licensing. Semiconductor IP (SIP) are generally interchangeable with the terms, IP cores or IP blocks. IP is critical for development of large and complex devices as it’s not possible for one company to produce all of the IP blocks necessary for these devices.
