The Interface IP Market has Grown to $530 Million!
According with IPnest, the Interface IP market, including USB, PCI Express, (LP)DDRn, HDMI, MIPI and Ethernet IP segments, has reached $532 million in 2016, growing from $472 million in 2015. This is an impressive 13% Year-over-Year growth rate, and 12% CAGR since 2012!
Who integrate functions to interface a chip with others IC or connector? The answer is simply that for any application, you need to interact with another chip (DRAM, SSD, Application Processor or ASSP), or with the outside world through a connector (from HDMI to PCIe or USB). If you consider chip design, you quickly realize that two kinds of functions are ubiquitous: processing and interfacing. This consideration is comforted by their respective weight in the IP license market (before royalty). In 2016, the license only market has weighted $1930 million. The license revenues generated by processor IP (CPU, GPU, DSP) of $680 million represent 35% of the total, when the interface IP license, weighting $532 million, is 27.5%. The addition of processor and interface IP generates 62.5% of the total (license) IP market.
