Abstract
Research Summary
This study, part of VDC Research Group' s 2009 Embedded Software Market
Intelligence Program covers the worldwide market for proprietary language- and
standards-based software and system modeling tools and related services
employed in the development of embedded systems including:
- Standard language-based modeling tools
- Proprietary language-based modeling tools
For the senior executives working in this market, the full report addresses:
- The important trends, drivers and inhibitors affecting the commercial
market for embedded software and system modeling tools;
- Which vertical markets and geographic regions have the most potential to
generate future revenue growth;
- The dynamics within the competitive landscape; and
- How modeling tool vendors can more effectively position their solutions
given current and expected market conditions.
Research Highlights
Market Estimates & Forecasts: Multi-core processor adoption is finally
demonstrating year-over-year growth, with initial 2009 results showing usage
of multi-core processors up 4% and usage of multi-core and multiprocessor
architectures up 5% compared to 2008 results. As anticipated, the expected use
of single processors continues to forecast substantial decreases in favor of
multi-core and multiprocessor architectures. Engineers will continue to look
for new development tools and methodologies to address the added complexity
wrought by multi-core processors and that hold the promise of easing the
migration legacy software assets to the new processing platforms.
After posting a double-digit rate of growth from 2007 to 2008, revenue from
the Asia-Pacific will finish 2009 down 7%. While the Japanese market remains
strong overall, the softness in the Japanese auto industry - combined with the
already conservative nature of corporate spending typical within the region -
has limited growth. The broader Asia-Pacific region, however, will continue to
generate the highest growth over the forecast period as the developing Chinese
and Indian markets provide growth to counter the slumping Japanese market.
