Electronic System Design (ESD) industry revenue increased 25.2% to $4,702.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 from the $3,756.3 million logged in the third quarter of 2022, 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 13.8%.
“Electronic design automation (EDA) reported record revenue growth in Q3 23,” said Walden C. Rhines, Executive Sponsor of the SEMI Electronic Design Market Data report. “This was the highest overall growth since Q4 1998. The Computer-Aided Engineering, IC Physical Design and Verification, Printed Circuit Board and Multi-Chip Module, and Semiconductor Intellectual Property categories reported double-digit growth. Further, all geographic regions reported substantial growth.”
The companies tracked in the EDMD report employed 59,737 people globally in Q3 2023, a 10.6% jump over the Q3 2022 headcount of 53,034 and up 1% compared to Q2 2023.
