The expanding semiconductor industry is anticipated to be a significant driver for the electronic device automation (EDA) software market. As a sector within the electronics industry, the semiconductor industry focuses on the research, development, design, manufacturing, and distribution of semiconductor devices, commonly known as chips or integrated circuits. EDA software plays a crucial role in accelerating semiconductor design and manufacturing processes, minimizing errors, improving the quality of semiconductor devices, and fostering innovation. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, global semiconductor industry sales reached $43.2 billion in July 2023, representing a 2.3% increase compared to the previous month. This growth in the semiconductor industry is instrumental in propelling the expansion of the electronic device automation (EDA) software market.

Leading companies in the electronic design automation (EDA) software market are concentrating on delivering advanced technological solutions to enhance their competitive position. EDA software encompasses a range of specialized tools utilized for designing, simulating, verifying, and manufacturing electronic systems, including integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs). For example, in March 2024, HCL, an India-based IT services and consulting firm, launched a new Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solution. These EDA tools automate processes such as circuit design, layout, simulation, and verification, thereby increasing productivity and minimizing errors. This innovative offering is designed to expedite large EDA implementations, significantly shorten time-to-market, and enhance product quality and reliability. By integrating with NetApp's Design Anywhere framework, HCLTech aims to assist clients in optimizing their IT environments, managing infrastructure, and scheduling workloads while providing various consumption models tailored to specific requirements.

Major players in the electronic design automation (EDA) software market are actively focusing on introducing innovative solutions to streamline and accelerate chip design Design-for-Test (DFT) processes, aiming to secure a competitive advantage. Streamlining and accelerating chip design DFT processes involve employing DFT techniques to enhance the efficiency and speed of the chip design process. In October 2023, Siemens Digital Industries Software, a U.S.-based computer software company, launched Tessent RTL Pro, an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software designed to assist Integrated Circuit (IC) design teams in optimizing and expediting critical Design-for-Test (DFT) procedures for their upcoming designs. Leveraging rapid synthesis and Automated Test Pattern Generation (ATPG), Siemens' Tessent software enables the identification and correction of outlier blocks, facilitating the analysis and insertion of a significant portion of DFT logic early in the design phase. Tessent RTL Pro automates the analysis and insertion of test points, wrapper cells, and x-bounding logic early in the design flow, leading to reduced design cycles and enhanced testability.
