Semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) Market worth $18.64 billion by 2032 - Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™ - Yahoo Finance

According to a recent report by MarketsandMarkets™, the global semiconductor intellectual property (IP) market was valued at USD 9.30 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 18.64 billion by 203... Read original →

The semiconductor IP market’s projected doubling reflects the exponential design complexity driven by AI and sub-3nm nodes. Chiplet architectures and escalating NRE costs compel fabless firms to outsource critical IP blocks like HBM controllers and high-speed SerDes. This triggers a cascade effect: EDA flows and advanced packaging ecosystems—especially CoWoS—are now co-developed with IP vendors to align TSV and micro-bump specs early. Geopolitical compliance risks are rising; potential U.S. export controls on GAA-related IP could force companies in Taiwan, China and mainland China to localize core IP stacks, inflating R&D overhead. In the competitive arena, Arm counters RISC-V’s AI accelerator inroads via custom extensions, while Synopsys and Cadence lock in hyperscalers through software-IP bundling. Over the next 18 months, data center custom silicon will surge demand for interface IP—but higher reuse rates may squeeze smaller IP vendors, accelerating market consolidation.
