IC Design Output Value keeping in growing in 2012

The growing speed of IC design Output Value was keeping better than DIM factory last year. According to the prediction of ICInsights, IC design Output Value was growing to 27.1% of the whole IC market and create a new history record。

ICInsights latest report says, Global IC design Output Value grew 6% last, 4% less than IDM factory, 2% less than the whole IC market.

ICInsights says, Global IC design Compound Average Growth Rate reached to 16% between 1999 and 2012, besides, IDM factory Compound Average Growth Rate was only 3%, and the whole IC market was 5%.

IC design proportion in the whole IC market keeps growing, ICInsights says, IC design proportion only takes over 7% of the whole IC market in 1999, and reached to 27.1% in 2012 which create a new record. As predict, the proportion will be up to 1/3 in 2017.
