WILSONVILLE, OR — Citing an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Consortium research report, Mentor Graphics today claimed a 50% worldwide market share in printed circuit board design software for 2010.

According to the report, Mentor’s market share in North America in 60%, 57% in Europe and 50% in Asia/Pacific, respectively. Its share in Japan, the only market Mentor does not hold the largest piece of the market, grew more than than 75% from 2009 to 2010, Mentor said.

“Our continued R&D and strategic investments in advanced systems design technologies, far exceeding that of other suppliers, has resulted in a gradual increase in our revenues and market share,” stated Henry Potts, vice president and general manager of Mentor’s Systems Design Division. “The electronics industry requires these advanced technologies to support their PCB product development and manufacturing processes and Mentor is the only supplier seriously investing. This positive cycle continues, as the more revenues and market share we obtain, the more we can continue to invest in future design solutions to the benefit of our customers.”
