"EDA Industry revenues continued to grow in the third quarter, with IC Physical Design and Semiconductor IP reporting double-digit growth," said Walden C. Rhines, board sponsor for the EDAC MSS and Chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. "Geographically, the Americas, Japan, and Asia Pacific all reported solid revenue growth."
Companies that were tracked employed a record 33,430 professionals in Q3 2015, an increase of 5.6 percent compared to the 31,648 people employed in Q3 2014, and up 1.9 percent compared to Q2 2015.
The complete quarterly MSS report, containing detailed revenue information broken out by both categories and geographic regions, is available to members of the EDA Consortium.

About the MSS Report
The EDA Consortium Market Statistics Service reports EDA industry revenue data quarterly and is available to EDAC members. Both public and private companies contribute data to the report. Each quarterly report is published approximately three months after quarter close. MSS report data is segmented as follows: revenue type (product licenses and maintenance, services, and SIP), application (CAE, PCB/MCM Layout, and IC Physical Design & Verification), and region (the Americas, Europe Middle East and Africa, Japan, and Asia Pacific), with many subcategories of detail provided. The report also tracks total employment of the reporting companies.
