The Trump administration has implemented new export controls, prohibiting companies from selling electronic design automation (EDA) tools to China without prior licenses. This expands a previous strategy aimed at semiconductor sales, now addressing the design software critical for chip production. Major firms such as Cadence, Synopsys, and Siemens EDA received notifications from the Commerce Department, signifying a strategic shift in US-China tech relations. The implications are significant, as many companies derive substantial revenues from their Chinese market.
The US has ordered companies that make software used to design semiconductors to stop selling to China without first obtaining export licenses.
With Cadence and Synopsys being US-based companies and Siemens contributing to more than 90% share of the EDA tools globally, this move further tightens EDA software sales in China.
