KEY MARKET DYNAMICS

– Digital is influencing embedded and semiconductor engineering: IoT is adding new complexities to system on chip (SoC) design and software level development including gateways, edge analytics, cloud-based platform and other factors.

– Lower geometric chip design: Chip designing is now becoming very complex and confined to lower geometry including other factors, such as clock/timing, power optimization, yield and coverage improvement etc.

– Nonlinear pricing model: Accelerated go-to-market timeline, lower capex investment, and frequent design changes are a few demands from client side that are fueling the outcome-based pricing models in this space.

– Local manufacturing ecosystem: In embedded hardware and semiconductor services, in-house manufacturing facilities are increasingly becoming a differentiating factor for prototype designing, low-volume manufacturing, and other purposes.
