Increasing penetration of IoT devices is notably driving the market growth. The increasing popularity of smart devices, smart homes, and smart cities is driving the demand for IoT devices. The demand for smart devices is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period due to developments in high-speed network infrastructure. Smart devices make use of high-speed networks to transmit data and derive useful insights. The proliferation of smart devices incorporating innovative technologies such as augmented reality, gesture recognition, and voice recognition will necessitate the requirement of high-speed communication networks.
As a result, the increasing development of smart devices will lead to the increasing adoption of physical intellectual property for SoC designs in smart devices, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the global physical intellectual property market during the forecast period.
A decrease in lithography wavelength is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. A photomask is an opaque plate with a precision image of ICs. On exposing the photomasks to ultraviolet light at wavelengths of 365 nm, 248 nm, and 193 nm, they produce an identical image of the design onto the silicon wafers. The ever-decreasing feature size and increase in chip density have increased the complexity of wafers. This has resulted in a steady reduction in lithography wavelength over the years from 365 nm to 193 nm to manufacture a structure lower than 30 nm on the wafer.
Also, EUV lithography is essential for the 7-nm node size, which was commercialized in 2019. Thus, the increase in the number of chips on a wafer and the design complexity of the chips will increase the need for complex IP blocks to meet such requirements, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the physical intellectual property market during the forecast period.
Integration and verification problems of physical intellectual property a significant challenges hindering the market growth. Integrating the acquired semiconductor IP blocks from third-party IP vendors on the SoCs is a complex process. The cost of IP integration doubles the cost of acquiring those IPs. The increase in the number of IP blocks will also increase production time. Furthermore, during the integration of semiconductor IP, the acquired IP blocks must be compatible with other cores of IP. Similarly, other factors need to be compatible, such as auxiliary authentication settings, design for testing, manufacturing, and circuit board level of integration.
Moreover, the complexity of IP blocks will significantly pose more challenges for the SoC designers to integrate the acquired IP blocks into the design IP base. Thus, the Integration and verification problems of physical intellectual property can become a major challenge for the growth of the physical intellectual property market. Such factors are expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the mobile computing devices segment will be significant during the forecast period. The growth in this segment is expected to be driven by the proliferation of mobile computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and ultra-books. Chinese manufacturers such as BBK Electronics, Huawei Technologies, and Xiaomi provide mobile computing devices with upgraded technologies at competitive prices.

The mobile computing devices were the largest segment and were valued at USD 2.21 billion in 2018. The major reason for the demand for physical intellectual property in the mobile computing devices segment is the increasing demand for higher processing power for mobile and other computing devices. Processors have become quad-core and octa-core (from traditional single or dual-core processors), and integrated circuits (ICs) are housing more semiconductor components than their predecessors. Besides, with increased internet penetration and demand for higher bandwidth applications, companies in the physical intellectual property market are incorporating advanced technologies in mobile computing devices, such as augmented reality, gesture recognition, haptics, and virtual reality. They are also integrating several wireless technologies in their devices to support IoT architecture. To integrate all these features, they require third-party IP blocks that are incorporated into SoC designs. Thus, with the increasing demand for mobile computing devices from various sectors, the global physical intellectual property market will grow during the forecast period.
The proliferation of electronic devices, from smartphones and tablets to smart appliances and wearables, drives the demand for semiconductors. The growing consumer electronics industry fuels the need for smaller, more power-efficient, and high-performance semiconductors such as ICs to power these devices. Emerging technologies such as AI, IoT, 5G, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and autonomous vehicles rely heavily on semiconductors for processing and data handling. The trend toward miniaturization and integration of multiple functions on a single chip drives the development of SoC and System-in-Package (SiP) solutions. This allows for space-saving and power-efficient designs in various applications. Such factors are expected to increase the demand for semiconductors, which, in turn, will drive the market during the forecast period.
