Commentary: Innovation is key to survival for Taiwan IC designers

Due to lackluster business performances recorded by most Taiwan IC design houses in the first half of 2017, the overall production value of Taiwan's IC design industry will see only limited growth for the year despite business turnaround seen in the traditional peak season in the second half of the year. The ranking of Taiwan's top-10 IC design houses has not experienced a major reshuffle so far this year, but their overwhelming revenue declines have seen little improvement, with MediaTek even likely to fall into the "regression club." Nevertheless, some Taiwan ASIC designers and suppliers of niche memory ICs and PC peripheral chips have managed to sustain significant growth momentum, amid the business climate that the mobile chip market is maturing with increasingly limited growth but AI applications and business opportunities are flourishing.
