About the MSS Report
The EDA Consortium Market Statistics Service reports EDA industry revenue data quarterly and is
available by annual subscription. Both public and private companies contribute data to the report. Each
quarterly report is published approximately three months after quarter close. MSS report data is
segmented as follows: revenue type (product licenses and maintenance, services, and SIP), application
(CAE, PCB/MCM Layout, and IC Physical Design & Verification), and region (the Americas, Europe
Middle East and Africa, Japan, and Asia Pacific), with many subcategories of detail provided. The
report also tracks total employment of the reporting companies.
