ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies, announced significant findings in the AI & Machine Learning, Industrial Solution, and Telco Digitization markets.
Moving AI Processing to the Edge Will Shake Up the Semiconductor Industry
Revenue from the sale of artificial intelligence (AI) chipsets for edge inference and inference training will grow at 65% and 137% respectively between 2018 and 2023, creating massive new potential revenue streams for chip vendors. “The biggest winners from the growth in edge AI are going to be those vendors that either own or are currently building intellectual properties for AI-related application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs),” said Jack Vernon, Industry Analyst at ABI Research.
Autodesk Takes Top Spot in ABI Research’s Generative Design Competitive Assessment
Ranked as the top generative design vendor, Autodesk scored highest in the overall category of Implementation and topped six of the twelve ranking criteria. “Autodesk emerged as the leader with innovative capabilities and integration of generative design tools within its Fusion 360 product,” said Pierce Owen, principal analyst at ABI Research.
Private LTE Will be a US$16.3 Billion Opportunity by 2025
By 2025, the private Long-Term Evolution (LTE) market comprising of healthcare, transport, and logistics, manufacturing, smart venues, smart cities, and oil and gas will be worth US$16.3 billion. “A new understanding of spectrum usage, spearheaded by the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) activities in the United States, and increasing demand from industry verticals are the main drivers of private LTE,” said Pablo Tomasi, senior analyst at ABI Research.

Advancing Electrolytic Copper Plating for AI-driven Package Substrates
08/05/2025 | Dirk Ruess and Mustafa Oezkoek, MKS’ AtotechThe rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has become a pivotal force driving growth in the server industry. Its challenging requirements for high-frequency and high-density computing are leading to an increasing demand for development of advanced manufacturing methods of package substrates with finer features, higher hole densities, and denser interconnects. These requirements are essential for modern multilayer board (MLB) designs, which play a critical role in AI hardware. However, these intricate designs introduce considerable manufacturing complexities.
Setting Design Constraints Effectively
07/31/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPCB design requires controlling energy within the medium of a PCB. The manner in which we control the chaos of energy is by implementing and utilizing physical and electrical rules, known as constraints, along with a specific structure and material(s) that make up what is known as the foundation of the design. These rules govern everything within the PCB structure and generally fall into two camps: performance and manufacturability. Setting this foundation correctly is extremely important and the key to success.
