SAN JOSE – EDA Consortium's Market Statistics Service reported that the EDA industry revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was $1.091 billion, down from $1.094 billion a year ago. But PCB and MCM revenue increased 3% to $86 million.
Total product revenues, without services, were $1.028 billion in Q2 of 2005 vs. $1.024 billion in the same quarter of 2004.
"The EDA industry continues to realign, as strength in printed circuit board, IC physical design and verification offsets weakness in traditional markets like computer-aided engineering," said Walden Rhines, chairman of the EDA Consortium and chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics Corp.
Reporting companies employed 20,780 professionals, up 4% from the 20,066 reported in Q2 2004. Japan led all regions in growth, with revenue of $242 million and 15% growth in 2Q 2005 from 2Q 2004. Rest-of-World (ROW) extended previous years of revenue growth by increasing 5% to $132 million in Q2 2005. |
