Global Intellectual Property (IP) in Semiconductor Market, valued at USD 6.78 billion in 2024, is poised for substantial expansion, projected to reach USD 13.29 billion by 2032. This growth trajectory, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.92% during the forecast period 2025-2032, is detailed in a comprehensive new report published by Semiconductor Insight. The study underscores the indispensable role of semiconductor IP in enabling innovation, reducing development costs, and accelerating time-to-market for complex integrated circuits across diverse applications.
Semiconductor IP cores, which are pre-designed and verified functional blocks, have become fundamental building blocks in modern chip design. They allow companies to license proven technology rather than developing everything from scratch, which is particularly crucial as process nodes shrink and design complexity skyrockets. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also mitigates risks associated with cutting-edge semiconductor development, making IP a cornerstone of the global electronics value chain.

AI and IoT Proliferation: The Primary Growth Engine
The report identifies the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications as the paramount driver for semiconductor IP demand. With the AI chip market alone projected to exceed $100 billion annually by 2030, the need for specialized processor IP—including neural processing units (NPUs) and AI accelerators—has skyrocketed. Similarly, the proliferation of IoT devices, expected to surpass 30 billion connected units globally by 2025, continues to drive demand for energy-efficient processor and connectivity IP.
"The massive concentration of semiconductor design activity and fabless companies in the Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for approximately 62% of global semiconductor IP revenue, is a key factor in the market's dynamism," the report states. With global investments in semiconductor R&D exceeding $90 billion annually, the demand for reusable, verified IP blocks is intensifying, especially as the industry transitions to advanced nodes below 5nm where design complexity increases exponentially.
