Future of EDA

Recently I've read two interesting articles written on future of EDA industry. It's predicted that by 2017 semiconductor industry will grow to become a US$1 trillion industry. Currently it's about US$270 billion. It's predicted that EDA industry will reach US$10 billion market in next 10 years. Here is the full article titled Future challenges for the EDA industry: A business perspective http://www.edn.com/article/CA6711232.html. The author of the article is S.N. Pamanabhan who is a Senior VP of R&D Services at MindTree.

The second article that I read recently is titled EDA: Aging or Dying. It was published in EE Times 10/02/2010 and written by Mike Gianfagna, Vice President marketing at Atrenta Inc. It states that EDA is maturing, not dying.

Its interesting to note that even though its a mere $4billion industry, the trillion dollar semicon industry depends on them for design and verification

The indian software service sector has not yet been able to penetrate this space. Any reasons?
