Electronic System Design Industry Logs $4 Billion in Revenue in Q1 2023, ESD Alliance Reports
July 10, 2023 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Electronic System Design (ESD) industry revenue increased 12% from $3,527.7 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $3,951.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, announced in its latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report. The four-quarter moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four, rose 12.7%.
“The electronic design automation (EDA) industry continued to post double-digit gains in Q1 2023, with increases in all product categories and geographic regions,” said Walden C. Rhines, Executive Sponsor of the SEMI Electronic Design Market Data report. “Product categories Computer Aided Engineering, IC Physical Design and Verification, Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module, and Services all reported double digit increases.”
The companies tracked in the EDMD report employed 57,696 people globally in Q1 2023, a 12.9% jump over the Q1 2022 headcount of 51,093 and up 4.5% compared to Q4 2022.
The quarterly EDMD report contains detailed revenue information with the following category and geographic breakdowns.
Revenue by Product and Application Category – Year-Over-Year Change
- Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) revenue rose 15.1% to $1,434.1 million. The four-quarter CAE moving average increased 18.6%.
- IC Physical Design and Verification revenue jumped 24.6% to $675.8 million. The four-quarter moving average for the category increased 14.6%.
- Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module (PCB and MCM) revenue increased 25.6% to $368.4 million. The four-quarter moving average for PCB and MCM rose 15.7%.
- Semiconductor Intellectual Property (SIP) revenue increased 0.4% to $1,330.6 million. The four-quarter SIP moving average grew 5.7%.
- Services revenue increased 17.2% to $142.2 million. The four-quarter Services moving average rose 16.8%.
Revenue by Region – Year-Over-Year Change
- The Americas, the largest reporting region by revenue, procured $1,698.2 million of electronic system design products and services in Q1 2023, a 12.7% increase. The four-quarter moving average for the Americas rose 12.5%.
- Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) procured $530.1 million of electronic system design products and services in Q1 2023, a 21.6% increase. The four-quarter moving average for EMEA grew 9.6%.
- Japan’s procurement of electronic system design products and services increased 4.3% to $272.7 million. The four-quarter moving average for Japan rose 2.3%.
- Asia Pacific (APAC) procured $1,449.9 million of electronic system design products and services in Q1 2023, a 9.6% increase. The four-quarter moving average for APAC grew 16%.

Podcast Review: On the Line with… Designing for Reality
05/09/2024 | Duane Benson, Positive Edge LLCAs a technologist, if I were forced to come up with just one recurring theme that I might call a professional “nemesis,” it would be the difference between theory and reality. A lot of technology we have at our disposal works well in theory but falls short when reality hits. That’s not the only reason I chose to listen to and review On the Line with… Designing for Reality, featuring a series of conversations with ASC Sunstone’s Matt Stevenson, but it certainly helped that the title caught my eye.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
