The combined revenue of the top 10 global IC design companies in 2024 is anticipated to surge by 49% year-on-year.

The growth was mainly driven by the AI boom, especially NVIDIA's revenue growth of up to 125% in 2024, which significantly outperformed other manufacturers. According to the latest research by TrendForce, the combined revenue of the top ten IC design companies in the world in 2024 reached approximately US$249.8 billion, up 49% YoY. This growth was mainly driven by the AI boom, especially NVIDIA's revenue growth of up to 125% in 2024, which significantly outperformed other manufacturers. Looking ahead to 2025, with the development of advanced semiconductor process technologies, AI computing power is expected to grow further. The continuous release of various large language models (LLM) and the emergence of new open-source models such as DeepSeek are expected to lower the cost threshold of AI and promote the penetration of AI-related applications from servers to personal devices. Edge AI devices will become a new growth engine for the semiconductor industry.
