CNBC AI News, July 3rd – In a significant shift following recent US government directives, Siemens has announced the lifting of export restrictions on its chip design software to mainland China. The company has now resumed full provision of its software and technical services to Chinese clients.
This development comes after earlier reports in May indicated that the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security had notified the three major global EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software providers, including Siemens, to halt all EDA services and support to mainland China.
In early June, EDA vendors Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys, and Siemens had confirmed receipt of these new export control notices from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security regarding their software offerings.
The global EDA market is largely dominated by American players. According to TrendForce data, by 2024, Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA are projected to hold a commanding market share, accounting for 32%, 29%, and 13% respectively, collectively controlling a substantial 74% of the global EDA market.
Meanwhile, China has been making considerable strides in its push for domestic EDA solutions. Chinese chip design firms are increasingly adopting locally developed EDA tools as part of this national effort.
