SAN JOSE The EDA Consortium's Market Statistics Service (MSS) announced that the electronic design automation (EDA) industry revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was up 6% to just over $1.1 million from $1.06 million in the third quarter of 2004.
"Total EDA license and maintenance grew a solid 6% in the third quarter to $851 million," states Walden C. Rhines, chairman of the EDA Consortium and chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics Corporation. "The industry strength was broad-based, with all regions up, as well as nearly all product segments."
Reporting companies employed 21,140 professionals in Q3 2005, a 3% rise from the same period last year. EDA's largest tool category, computer aided engineering, generated $469 million in revenue in Q3 2005, marking a 4% rise from this period in 2004. IC physical design and verification segments experienced revenue of $296 million, up 9% from last year. Despite this growth, PCB and multi-chip module revenue remained flat at $81 million. Semiconductor IP revenue reached $199 million in Q3 2005, a 5% increase over Q3 2004. Services revenue also rose 9% in this period.
