SAN JOSE, Calif., April 13, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —  The EDA Consortium (EDAC) Market Statistics Service (MSS) today announced that the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry revenue increased 11.9 percent for Q4 2014 to a record $2104 million, compared to $1880.5 million in Q4 2013. Sequential EDA revenue for Q4 2014 increased 15.1 percent compared to Q3 2014, while the four-quarters moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four quarters, increased by 7.3 percent.

"The fourth quarter revenue represents both a record quarter and the culmination of a record year for the EDA industry," said Walden C. Rhines, board sponsor for the EDAC MSS and chairman and CEO of Mentor Graphics. "IC Physical Design and Semiconductor IP both reported double digit growth in Q4. Geographically, the Americas as well as Asia-Pacific had record quarters with double digit growth in those regions."
