Cloud electronic design Automation (EDA) is a platform leveraging cloud computing for designing and testing electronic systems, offering scalable resources and collaborative tools for engineers. It streamlines the development process, enabling remote access, efficient collaboration, and faster iteration cycles in chip and system design.
The main types of cloud electronic design automation are computer-aided engineering, semiconductor intellectual property, IC physical design and verification, and printed circuit boards and multi-chip modules. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) refers to using computers to assist in the engineering design process, including simulation, analysis, and optimization of products and systems. Its models of deployment include public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud, and it is used in automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, industrial, healthcare, and telecommunication.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The cloud electronic design automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.96 billion in 2024 to $8.59 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advanced simulation capabilities, integration with other cloud services, accessibility, enhanced security.
The cloud electronic design automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.49 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to AI and machine learning integration, 5G and IoT growth, customization and personalization, cybersecurity enhancements, quantum computing integration. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-driven design automation, technological advancements, containerization and orchestration, multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures, predictive analytics and simulation.
The forecast of 7.6% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariffs on imported FPGA boards and simulation tools from key suppliers like Taiwan and South Korea may delay chip design cycles and cloud-based EDA platform performance. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing demand for automation is expected to propel the growth of the cloud electronic design automation (EDA) market going forward. Automation refers to the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system operate automatically, utilizing machines and computers that can operate without needing human control. Automation is experiencing a surge in adoption driven by its potential to revolutionize productivity, streamline processes, and reduce costs across industries. Automation is helpful in cloud electronic design automation (EDA) by enabling the creation of cloud-native EDA tools and pre-optimized hardware platforms that can operate without needing human control. For instance, in June 2022, according to Salesforce, a US-based cloud-based software company, in partnership with Vanson Bourne, demand for automation has surged in over 90% of companies. The survey included 600 CIOs and IT decision-makers from global enterprises, and the highest demand for automation came from departments such as research and development, administrative/operations, customer service, and marketing. Therefore, the increasing demand for automation is driving the growth of the cloud electronic design automation (EDA) market.
Major companies operating in the cloud electronic design automation market are developing advanced technologies, such as disruptive cloud-based SaaS solution to drive their revenues in the market. A disruptive cloud-based SaaS solution is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that leverages cloud computing to transform an industry or market by providing easy access to powerful tools. For instance, in April 2022, Synopsys Inc, a US-based electronic design automation company, launched disruptive cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution called synopsys cloud 4.0, aimed at transforming the chip development. This cloud-based SaaS solution aims to accelerate and democratize chip design by providing easy access to powerful tools and resources, thereby helping semiconductor companies to innovate faster, leaner, and more efficiently.
In May 2023, Ansys Inc., a US-based engineering simulation software company, acquired Diakopto Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Ansys' aim is to enhance its software offering by integrating Diakopto's differentiated EDA solutions, which focus on accelerating integrated circuit (IC) development and resolving critical issues caused by layout parasitics. This acquisition is expected to complement Ansys' existing offerings for engineers at every level, enabling designers to optimize and debug designs more efficiently, enhance IC performance, and accelerate time. Diakopto Inc. is a US-based provider of differentiated electronic design automation (EDA) solutions.
