Consumer Electronics Drives the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Industry Spurring the Need for Innovation.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c72406) has announced the addition of "Electronic Design Automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) Europe 2007" to their offering. With a market sized at EU780 million, up nearly 11% from the EU700 million in 2005 (itself up 7% from 2004), the Electronic Design Automation market in Europe represents around one fifth of the worldwide EDA market. This market is dominated by the so called Big Three: Cadence Design Systems (company) Cadence Design Systems - A company that sells electronic design automation software and services. http://cadence.com/. See also Verilog. , Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. Inc and Synopsys, Inc. However, unlike its 3rd position in the worldwide ranking, Mentor Graphics is ranked 2nd in Europe in 2006, where it generates 28% of its worldwide business. Despite most worldwide vendors' headquarters are based in the US, Europe is base for two global vendors in the Semiconductor IP arena, namely ARM the global leader and Imagination Technologies. Who are the customers for EDA vendors in Europe? In 2006 Europe accounted for 16% of global semiconductor revenue or EU31 billion. Europe is home to the following four major semiconductor companies: STMicroelectronics in Geneva Geneva, canton and city, Switzerland Geneva (jənē`və), Fr. Genève, canton (1990 pop. 373,019), 109 sq mi (282 sq km), SW Switzerland, surrounding the southwest tip of the Lake of Geneva. , Switzerland, Qimonda and Infineon in Munich, Germany, and NXP NXP Next Experience (formerly Philips Semiconductors) in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. NXP was formerly a division of Philips but was spun out in 2006. Qimonda, a supplier of DRAM products, was carved out of Infineon Technologies For the raceway, see . Infineon Technologies AG (ISIN: DE0006231004, FWB: IFX, NYSE: IFX) was founded in April 1999 when the semiconductor operations of parent company, Siemens AG, were spun off to form a separate legal entity. in 2006 and went public in August 2006. All four are ranked by revenue among the top 15 semiconductor companies in the world. In addition there are around 150 fabless semiconductor companies A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. in Europe as well as hundreds of system design houses. The end users of EDA products are increasingly involved with consumer electronics. The requirements of these CE products for mobility, low cost and high volume have had a significant impact on the direction of the EDA industry. The trends in the semiconductor industry and corresponding trends in the EDA industry are discussed. Agilent EEsof, Ansoft, ARM, Cadence Design System, Imagination Technologies, Magma Design Automation Magma Design Automation (NASDAQ: LAVA) is a software company in the electronic design automation (EDA) industry. The company was founded in 1997 and maintains headquarters in San Jose, California. , Mentor Graphics, Rambus, Synopsys, Synplicity, The Mathworks, and Zuken are studied in this report with their 2006 numbers in Europe for most of them. Moreover, around 40 European based EDA vendors are identified by name and country. Top studied vendors are ranked considering both their total revenue, as well as their software only revenue. With over 50 tables and graphs, in a 56 pages document, this report provides a quantitative and qualitative picture of the market: market size, trends and vendors positions in each of the EDA product and services categories as well as in main European regions/countries: UK, Germany, France, Scandinavia and Italy.
