R&M finds India a global leader in IC design and embedded software development

Research and Markets (R&M) has announced a report on Indian semiconductor industry, The Indian Semiconductor Industry. This report is an analysis of the Indian Semiconductor Industry and its potential for growth. It contains information on market structure, size and dynamics.

According to the report with local companies providing backend design services to large global companies, India emerged as a BPO center for chip designing at the beginning of the 21st century. Many multinationals that were carrying out small operations in India turned towards developing and designing cutting edge technology devices in Indian development centers. Intel, which conducted the development processes of its Itanium and Xeon processers in Bengaluru, is one such example. Today, all the global top 10 fabless design companies have India operations and 19 of the top 25 semiconductors companies have operations in India. Banglore, Delhi, Noida, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Ahmadabad and Goa are the main hubs for the Indian semiconductor design industry.

India is a global leader in IC design and Embedded Software Development, providing all semiconductor related services except fabrication. Companies in India mostly cater to international demand but there is a trend towards building to address domestic requirements. Until recently, India was restricted to only design services in the IC market, with the exception of the government owned Semiconductor Complex Ltd, but is now preparing to start full fledged foundry services under multinational brand names.
