ESD Alliance Reports Double-Digit Growth in Q1
MILPITAS, CA —Electronic Sys- tem Design (ESD) industry rev- enue increased 12.8% to $5,098.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 from the $4,521.6 million registered in the first quarter of 2024, the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, has an- nounced in its latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) re- port. The four-quarter moving average rose 12.6%, based on a comparison of the most recent four quarters to the prior four. “The electronic design au-
tomation (EDA) industry once again reported strong year-over- year revenue growth in Q1 2025,” said Walden C. Rhines, executive sponsor of the SEMI Electronic Design Market Data report. “Product Categories CAE, IC Physical Design and Verifica- tion, and PCB and MCM report- ed single digit increases, with
Semiconductor IP and Services reporting significant double-digit increases. All geographic regions reported growth in Q1, with Americas, EMEA, and Japan re- porting double digit growth.” The companies tracked in
the EDMD report employed 64,403 people globally in Q1 2025, a 4.5% increase over the Q1 2024 headcount of 61,653 and up 2.5% compared to Q4 2024. The ESD Alliance Electronic
Design Market Data (formerly the Market Statistics Service) re- port presents Electronic Design Automation (EDA), SIP and Services industry revenue data quarterly. Both public and pri- vate companies contribute data to the report available from SE- MI. Each quarterly report is pub- lished approximately three months after quarter close. Web:

Hellbender Brings SMT Assembly In-House with Europlacer...
Continued from page 1 “The user interface is in-
credibly intuitive,” added
Cameron Baldwin, Hellbender co-founder and SMT production and process engineer. “We’ve trained multiple technicians from scratch and had them run- ning live production within a week. That kind of onboarding speed just doesn’t happen with most SMT systems.” Bringing SMT in-house al-
lowed Hellbender to dramatical- ly shorten design-to-build time- lines and reduce reliance on ex- ternal quick-turn suppliers — all while improving product consis- tency and control. “Europlacer didn’t just pro-
vide us with machines — they supported our growth like a true partner,” Beyer said. “From day one, their team, especially Chris Merow, treated us like we were their most important customer. That level of service has made a real impact.”

Eco-Friendly Electronic Plastic...
Continued from page 6 The research was initially
supported with a five-year grant from the U.S. Department of En- ergy in 2017, and subsequently by two grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation, from 2021-25 and renewed to 2028.
“We’re still in the develop-
ment stage of synthesizing small quantities and investigating the properties,” he added. “But we’re excited about the potential to re- place environmentally harmful plastics in sensors and detectors.” Web:
