Another Great Quarter for the Electronic System Design Ecosystem
October 14th, 2021 by Bob Smith, Executive Director
We did it again! The electronic system design (ESD) ecosystem reported a revenue increase of 14.6% year-over-year from $2,783.9 million to $3,191.4 million in Q2 2021. Our latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report comparing the most recent four quarters to the prior four also found that the four-quarter moving average rose 15.5%, the highest annual growth since 2011. 
According to Wally Rhines, executive sponsor of the SEMI EDMD report, double-digit growth was reported in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module (PCB and MCM), Semiconductor IP (SIP) and Services. In addition, all geographic regions reported growth on a rolling four-quarter basis, with the Americas; Asia Pacific (APAC); and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) showing a substantial year-over-year increase.
It also tracks total employment at participating companies. In the latest report, companies employed 49,964 people globally in Q2 2021, a 7.3% increase over the Q2 2020 headcount of 46,579 and up 1.9% compared to Q1 2021.
The EDMD report, formerly known as the Market Statistics Service (MSS), presents quarterly EDA, SIP and Services industry revenue data published approximately three months after the quarter closes. Public and private companies contribute data to the report available from SEMI.
Each quarterly report contains detailed revenue information with category and geographic breakdowns. A glimpse at year-over-year change in revenue by product and application category in the current EDMD report reveals:
- CAE revenue increased 10.1% to $1,014.6 million. The four-quarter CAE moving average increased 11%.
- IC Physical Design and Verification revenue decreased 0.4% to $581.5 million. The four-quarter moving average for the category rose 18.6%.
- Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module (PCB and MCM) revenue increased 16.8% to $284.4 million. The four-quarter moving average for PCB and MCM increased 9.4%.
- SIP revenue rose 27.1% to $1,204.9 million. The four-quarter SIP moving average grew 20.5%.
- Services revenue increased 23.1% to $106.1 million. The four-quarter Services moving average increased 8.8%.
A year-over-year change in revenue by region highlights:
- The Americas, the largest reporting region by revenue, purchased $1,367.3 million of electronic system design products and services in Q2 2021, an 18.3% increase. The four-quarter moving average for the Americas rose 15.2%.
- Europe, Middle East, and Africa revenue increased 9.9% to $415 million. The four-quarter moving average for EMEA grew 7.8%.
- Japan revenue decreased 1% to $237.9 million. The four-quarter moving average for Japan rose 1.9%.
- Asia Pacific revenue increased 15.9% to $1,171.2 million. The four-quarter moving average for APAC increased 22.9%.
