Global EDA Market Projected to Reach CAGR of 12.2% by 2018-2023
May 24, 2018 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The EDA tools market is projected to register a CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period 2018-2023.
Electronic design automation consists of software tools used in the designing of electronic systems and components, such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. The tools allow hardware and software providers to design and simulate several electronic components and systems. The demand of EDA tools has increased significantly due to the reduction in time of electronics component or system design.
The demand for compact electronic devices has been increasing across several sectors, such as automotive and industrial manufacturing, and has compelled the IC manufacturers to increase investment in R&D, to reduce the size while improving the performance of ICs. This has led to the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and 3D semiconductor devices.
Factors, such as, economic growth, favorable government policies, and increasing demand for consumer electronic devices in the US have increased the market's growth. The intensifying significance of the IoT and the presence of prominent semiconductor device manufacturers, such as Intel, are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Designing Without a Rulebook: When Engineering Becomes Innovation
05/05/2026 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWhat if the very rules that made you successful as a PCB designer are the ones now holding you back? This reminds me of walking the floor and attending sessions at both PCB West 2025 and APEX EXPO 2026, where one common theme stood out: More designs with traditional PCB “best practices” simply don’t apply. It’s not because they’re wrong, but because the problems we’re solving have fundamentally changed. In some cases, those best practices can actually limit performance. This is where PCB design moves beyond optimization and into something far more challenging: designing without a rulebook.
