According to the latest industry analysis, the global IP and Design Services market was valued at USD 5,995 million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 11,208.36 million by 2032, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.20% during the forecast period. This growth reflects the increasing demand for semiconductor intellectual property (IP) cores across multiple industries, driven by rapid technological advancements and the need for efficient chip design solutions.
What are IP and Design Services?
IP and Design Services form a critical component of the semiconductor value chain, providing chip designers with pre-verified, reusable functional modules known as semiconductor IP cores. These services enable companies to accelerate time-to-market while significantly reducing development costs. The market includes everything from processor IP (like CPUs and GPUs) to interface IP (USB, PCIe) and physical IP libraries essential for modern chip design.
The semiconductor IP ecosystem has evolved from simple standard cell libraries to complex subsystems, with leading providers offering complete design platforms that integrate hardware, software, and development tools. According to industry benchmarks, using proven IP blocks can reduce design cycle times by 40-60% compared to developing everything from scratch.

Key Market Growth Drivers
Explosion of Connected Devices and AI Hardware
The proliferation of IoT devices, which is expected to exceed 29 billion connected units by 2030, has created unprecedented demand for specialized semiconductor IP. Each smart device requires multiple IP blocks – from wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, WiFi) to sensor interfaces and low-power processing cores. Similarly, the AI accelerator market is driving demand for neural network processors and matrix multiplication units as IP blocks.
Shift Toward Chiplet Architectures
The semiconductor industry’s move toward chiplet-based designs has transformed IP business models:
-
Interface IP: Growth in Die-to-Die (D2D) interconnect standards like UCIe
-
Security IP: Increased need for hardware root-of-trust in multi-vendor chiplet ecosystems
-
Specialized Accelerators: Domain-specific architectures for AI/ML workloads
This architectural shift has created opportunities for IP providers to offer complete subsystem solutions rather than individual blocks.
Market Challenges
While the market shows strong growth potential, several challenges remain:
-
Design Complexity: Advanced node designs (below 7nm) require extensive physical IP optimization and often delay time-to-market
-
Security Concerns: Hardware security vulnerabilities in third-party IP have led to increased verification requirements
-
Licensing Model Pressures: The shift toward royalty-based models affects short-term revenue for IP vendors
Opportunities for Market Expansion
