Compiled by the RevenueBase Data Team Data refreshed Sep 17, 2026 1,625 companies across 11 countries

RevenueBase identified 1,625 semiconductor design firms across the 11 countries with a published list, as of September 2026, and tracks 158,605 professional contacts across them, including 41,888 with verified work emails and 0 with mobile numbers. China is the largest market and Bangalore the largest hub.

This is the worldwide list of semiconductor design firms: the 11 country lists RevenueBase publishes for the category, summed and ranked as one. The company count is that sum, not a census of every company on earth; a country with no published list is not counted. Ranked by team size, largest first. Every row shows the company's own description, its RevenueBase Smart Search rating, and when it was last checked. Data refreshed September 17, 2026.

Published by RevenueBase, a B2B data infrastructure company. This list was built with RevenueBase Smart Search, the natural-language company search RevenueBase customers use to build their own targeted lists and unlock verified emails and direct dials at the companies on them.

RevenueBase Smart Search

RevenueBase Smart Search assesses information from a company’s LinkedIn profile, information supplied directly by the company, its website, and other publicly available sources. It uses that information to rate how closely the company relates to this list’s category: semiconductor design firms. Every row carries its rating and the description the rating was read from, so each one can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Strong evidence: The company's own public description of its business names semiconductor design firms.
Partial evidence: Its own public description names part of semiconductor design firms, so it works in or next to the category without describing itself that way.
Indirect evidence: The description shown does not name semiconductor design firms. The match rests on the rest of the company's public profile rather than the one sentence quoted here, so this is the rating to check first.

RevenueBase Smart Search is how these lists are built: RevenueBase's data engine and AI assemble the companies that match a category defined in a user's own words, so a list can be about what companies actually do rather than about whichever industry code they were filed under.

How this list was built

Company categories are rarely black and white. RevenueBase reads each company's own description of its business to decide whether it belongs among semiconductor design firms, so some rows will be adjacent to the category rather than pure plays. The description and RevenueBase Smart Search rating on every row are there so you can check each match yourself.

Source: The RevenueBase company graph: 60 million companies and 398.9 million professional contacts resolved from primary sources, queried with RevenueBase Smart Search, the natural-language company search available to every RevenueBase user.
Coverage: This worldwide list is the sum of the 11 country lists RevenueBase publishes for semiconductor design firms, largest first: China, the United States, India, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Malaysia and 1 more. Its company and contact totals add up those lists, so they understate the true worldwide figures: a country with no published list is not counted. The ranked table is exact across the countries covered, the largest companies of every country list ranked together with duplicates removed.
What qualifies: Companies worldwide whose own description of what they do matches “semiconductor design firms”. Matching reads each company's description, not its industry code or its name.
RevenueBase Smart Search: RevenueBase Smart Search is how this list is assembled and how each row is rated. RevenueBase's data engine and AI assess a company's LinkedIn profile, information supplied directly by the company, its website and other publicly available information, then relate it to a category defined in a user's own words. Each row is rated strong evidence (its own description names semiconductor design firms), partial evidence (it names part of the category) or indirect evidence (the description shown names none of it and the match rests on the rest of the company's profile). The description supporting each rating is quoted on the row.
What we exclude: Companies whose own description does not clearly place them among semiconductor design firms, and records with no verified work email.
Match quality: In blind human judging of this matching method, 86% of matched companies were on target. Expect roughly 1 in 7 rows to be adjacent to the category rather than a pure play. Every row shows the company's own description and its RevenueBase Smart Search rating so you can judge each match yourself. Read the full methodology: how the lists are built, how the judging worked, and what the figure means.
Ranking: Team size, largest first: companies are ordered by the number of professionals RevenueBase tracks at each one. Employee ranges shown are reported bands, for context.
Verification: Every listed company carries at least one verified work email, 41,888 across the full list. Contacts re-verify on a rolling cadence, and each contact's own verification date is shown inside RevenueBase.
Refresh: The country lists behind this page were pulled from the company graph on September 17, 2026. Lists refresh periodically as the graph is re-checked.
Corrections: Wrong category, wrong headquarters, or a company that has closed? Use “Report an issue” on any row. Reports go to the RevenueBase Data Team and feed back into the company graph.

Frequently asked

What is RevenueBase Smart Search?

RevenueBase Smart Search is how RevenueBase decides which companies belong on this list and how strongly each one fits. Its data engine and AI assess a company's LinkedIn profile, information supplied directly by the company, its website and other publicly available information, then relate it to the category the list is about. Each row is rated strong evidence when the company's own description names semiconductor design firms, partial evidence when it names part of the category, and indirect evidence when the description shown names none of it and the match rests on the rest of the company's profile.

How many semiconductor design firms are there worldwide?

RevenueBase identified 1,625 semiconductor design firms across the 11 countries with a published list, as of September 2026, matched on each company's own description of what it does rather than its industry code.
