News

On May 29, 2025, it was reported that the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce had requested the global EDA giants – Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA (Mentor) – to suspend the provision of some chip design tools to China, causing industry shock.

According to CIMdata’s estimation, the global EDA market capacity will reach 19.246 billion US dollars in 2024, accounting for 24.2% of the entire PLM market share. In 2024, the EDA market will grow by 13%, significantly higher than segmented fields such as CAD/CAE/PDM, and will be the growth engine of the PLM market. If this policy is strictly implemented, it will directly affect the global EDA market pattern, constrain China’s research and development capabilities for advanced process chips, and impact the global semiconductor supply chain.

The market reaction is intense, and uncertainty is intensifying!

On the same day of US stock trading, Synopsys’ stock price plummeted 9.64%, and Cadence’s stock price plummeted 10.67%, marking the largest single day decline in recent years. After hours, the stock price partially rebounded (Synopsys rose 3.69%, Cadence rose 4.99%), reflecting the market’s overreaction and uncertainty to rumors.

The CEO of Synopsys stated that they have not received any official notification from BIS. Cadence China executives stated that their business has not changed yet, and some Siemens EDA employees said they need to wait for official confirmation. Employees of the three companies in China have all stated that they have not received any internal notification, but industry insiders have revealed that the US headquarters has received the letter.

At present, the three major EDA companies occupy about 70% -80% of the Chinese market share. If the supply is completely cut off, it will impact advanced chip design and affect the research and development progress of companies such as Huawei and SMIC. Local EDA companies such as Huada Jiutian and Kelun Electronics have developed rapidly in recent years, but they mostly focus on “point tools”, and their full process coverage capabilities are still some distance away from EDA giants. Cutting edge technologies (such as GAA tools) still rely on imports.

The core focus of technological limitations

In the EDA industry landscape, Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens EDA, the three giants, have built high technological barriers in key areas with decades of technological accumulation. Especially the three giants have their own strengths and have built multiple “Gold standard” tools in the EDA field, becoming the industry’s de facto standard. These tools not only carry the most advanced algorithm architecture and process library support, but also form a complete ecological loop through continuous iteration, making it necessary for even technologically advanced wafer fabs to rely on these tools for final design verification.

Based on the currently disclosed information, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce has not yet released a specific list of restrictions. However, considering the previous logic of semiconductor control over China, the affected tools may include:
GAA architecture design tools, such as Synopsys’ Fusion Compiler and Cadence’s Innovus, are used for the physical implementation of 3nm/2nm chips
Advanced process validation tools, such as Calibre’s (Siemens EDA) OPC (Optical Proximity Correction) tool, are crucial for EUV lithography
TCAD (Process Simulation) tools, such as Synopsys’ Sentaurus, are used for modeling FinFET/GAA devices
If the restriction only applies to GAA related tools, the impact of mature processes in China (28nm and above) is relatively small; But if expanded to FinFET tools, the development of 7nm/5nm will also be hindered.

From the impact of supply interruption, if companies such as Huawei and SMIC cannot obtain the latest EDA updates, the research and development of 3nm GAA processes may stagnate; In the field of AI chip design, the high computing power chips of companies such as Cambrian and Boren, which rely on advanced process optimization tools, will also be affected to some extent; Some Chinese IC design companies may switch to older version tools.

Significant progress has been made in domestic EDA, but there are still shortcomings in the entire process

In the past few years, Chinese EDA companies have developed rapidly, but there is still a significant gap compared to the three giants in terms of full process coverage, advanced node support, and ecological collaboration.

In 2024, Huada Jiutian’s revenue was 1.222 billion yuan, thanks to the growth of digital circuit design and wafer manufacturing EDA business, with a year-on-year increase of 20.98%; In 2024, Kelun Electronics’ revenue was 419 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.42%, mainly benefiting from the growth of design EDA tools (+44.17%) and semiconductor testing equipment (+42.52%). In terms of revenue scale, Synopsys’ revenue for 2024 was $6.105 billion, and Cadence’s annual revenue for 2024 was $4.641 billion, which is tens of times larger than the top EDA vendors in China (Mentor, as part of Siemens’ digital industrial software, has not disclosed its specific revenue data separately in its financial report).

From the perspective of the Chinese market’s dependence on Synopsys and Cadence, data from 2024 shows that Synopsys and Cadence’s revenue in China accounts for 16% and 12% of the global market, respectively, significantly higher than the single digit percentage of other industrial software fields (estimated by CIMdata and e-works).

The key bottleneck is that domestic EDA often breaks through in simulation, verification and other aspects, but the entire RTL-GDSII process still relies on Synopsys/Cadence; TSMC/Samsung’s PDK will prioritize supporting American EDA, and domestic tools need to be deeply integrated with local Foundries such as SMIC; In addition, the layout and routing algorithms of the three giants, such as Cadence’s Cerebus AI optimization, have undergone decades of iteration, which means that domestic EDA manufacturers still need long-term investment to achieve substitution.

The dynamic balance of technological competition still exists in the game space

Since the beginning of this year, the US technology control policy towards China has shown a clear swing – in early April, it announced the imposition of high tariffs on semiconductors, electric vehicles and other fields, followed by a 90 day exemption period and partial lifting of restrictions. This repetition indicates that the United States is still struggling to balance between curbing China’s technological development and safeguarding its own corporate interests. The power outage order for EDA software this time does not rule out the possibility of policy callback.

On the one hand, the United States is attempting to delay China’s breakthroughs in 3nm and below processes by restricting the supply of advanced EDA tools to China from companies such as Synopsys and Cadence, in order to maintain its leading position in semiconductor technology; On the other hand, the Chinese market accounts for 10% -15% of the revenue of these two companies, and a complete suspension of supply will directly impact their performance. This is also why the stock prices of the two companies plummeted nearly 10% in a single day after the news came out.

More noteworthy is that Synopsys is currently advancing its acquisition of simulation software giant Ansys, which requires Chinese antitrust approval. If China uses this as a bargaining chip, it may force the US to make concessions on the EDA ban.

In fact, the semiconductor industry between China and the United States has formed a symbiotic relationship of deep mutual embedding. China is not only the world’s largest semiconductor consumer market, but also the most important growth engine for American semiconductor equipment companies. This interdependent relationship sets a natural buffer zone for technology regulation policies. In the current global semiconductor industry landscape, technology blockade may trigger a chain reaction in the industry chain, ultimately harming the interests of all parties.

Overall, the EDA supply cut-off policy in the United States has not yet been fully implemented, and in the future, it may adopt “layered restrictions” (such as only banning GAA related tools) rather than a comprehensive blockade. China can leverage its market advantages, countermeasures, and domestic substitution progress to gain room for competition. The ultimate direction of this technological tug of war still needs to be observed in the upcoming policy adjustments and corporate dynamics.

With the continued popularity of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence in China, dozens of companies have emerged in the field of dexterous hands, a key component of humanoid robots, betting on opportunities in the future mass production era.

In this environment, Time Robot still maintains its position as an industry leader. At the 2025 Conference on Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence Industry, the CMO of Yinshi Robotics in Hainan revealed the latest sales information of the company: sales in 2024 have reached nearly 2000 units, far ahead of peers. At the same time, due to the recent capital increase of Time Robotics, it has completed a B3 round financing of nearly 100 million yuan, which is only half a year after its B2 round financing of over 100 million yuan.

With the continuous boost of sales and capital, the CMO of Inspur Robotics, Fang Hainan, remained calm and objective during an interview with the Robot Lecture Hall. She pointed out that the overall shipment volume of the industry is still in the “small batch” stage and has not yet reached the true “mass production level” of the manufacturing industry. However, due to the current situation, robots are also well prepared and continuously improving in product consistency and reliability. In the future, mass production will be used as a “touchstone” for technology and supply chain capabilities, continuously polishing the team, creating multiple barriers between cost and supply chain, and seizing the explosive period of downstream markets.

Behind the growth in sales

Due to the market sales of robots approaching 2000 units in 2024, the cumulative scale of 1000 units announced in 2023 has undoubtedly doubled. We attribute this growth to the outbreak of downstream markets, especially the rise of humanoid robot companies. For example, Tesla, car companies, home appliance companies, and others are all betting on humanoid robots and promoting the application of dexterous hands in industries, services, scientific research, and other fields based on their own scene needs. This not only confirms the market potential of dexterous hands, but also forces companies to upgrade and transform their products.

Previously, Tesla’s 22 degree of freedom dexterous hand arm hand integrated solution received widespread attention. It places the actuator inside the arm and drives finger movements through tendon rope transmission, causing many companies to follow suit. But due to careful evaluation, the robot did not follow the trend and hot topics. Fang Hainan admitted that in the view of Time Robot, although this solution can improve the degree of freedom, it needs to sacrifice arm space and is difficult to match with current robots. And limited by the current material properties, the tendon rope driven solution is still unable to meet the requirements in terms of motion accuracy, load capacity, and other aspects. In contrast, we adhere to the linkage transmission scheme of “driving source embedded in palm” and improve power density through micro servo cylinder technology, achieving a single finger grip force of 3kg in a limited space. We plan to launch a new high degree of freedom product this year, emphasizing solving real needs rather than simply stacking parameters.

In the interview, Fang Hainan also emphasized the balance concept that Time Robot has long upheld. The higher the degree of freedom of a skilled hand, the better, but it requires a balance between performance and practicality. Throughout the years, Time Robotics has insisted that the choice of technological path should return to the requirements of the scene, and the core value of dexterous hands is always to “accurately solve pain points” regardless of how the humanoid robot solution changes, rather than blindly pursuing parameter upgrades. For example, humanoid robots that use dexterous hands need to consider their adaptability to the body. Enterprises should pay attention to the coordination between the volume and weight of dexterous hands and the humanoid robot body to avoid affecting the overall motion performance.

A dexterous hand with larger and more degrees of freedom, although seemingly more flexible, often requires additional actuators and drive units for each additional degree of freedom, which inevitably increases costs and leads to an increase in structural complexity and a decrease in reliability, “explained Fang Hainan. As the core executing component, the dexterous hand needs to deeply collaborate with the “eye brain arm” system of the ontology enterprise, taking into account factors such as flexibility, reliability, gripping ability, control accuracy, and cost, to meet the needs of application scenarios.

The Paradox of Price

With the increasing popularity of humanoid robots, a large number of players have also entered the dexterous hand track, especially a large number of listed companies entering the market. Some companies are willing to enter the market with low price strategies. In the face of competition, Time Robot is not in a price dilemma as expected by the outside world, but is continuously building a moat with “self-developed core components+structural design”.

In 2024, the Robot Lecture Hall noticed that the price of the agile hand of the Inshi robot has dropped from 50000 yuan to 35000 yuan. Behind the continuous price decline is the formation of Inshi’s core component mass production system. Fang Hainan revealed to us: ‘Low price competition may harm the healthy development of the industry, but due to the current situation, we are not afraid of competition.’.

In 2024, due to the rapid development of automation business, the main business of micro servo electric cylinders has been validated in many scenarios such as new energy and semiconductor industries, and the production capacity has been successfully pushed to tens of thousands of units. Therefore, relying on the technology cost reduction effect brought by self-developed micro servo electric cylinders, the agile hand still has the ability to cope with competition at a lower price. In the interview, Fang Hainan mentioned, “We hold the micro servo cylinder with one hand and the dexterous hand with the other. This is the basic foundation for our manufacturing industry

From the perspective of time, price internalization is an inevitable challenge facing the industry today, but long-term winners need to rely on technological accumulation and the ability to land in real scenarios. On the other hand, due to the autonomous and controllable core components, the on-demand robot has also achieved product systematization and layering, expanding the application scope of its own products and meeting the needs with a “universal modular thinking”.

The industrial scene pursues high precision and reliability, while the service scene focuses on lightweight and interaction, focusing on “non-standard tasks” that cannot be solved by automated production lines, such as button testing, door opening action tasks, and car tire handling in home appliance detection scenarios. There are three series and multiple products to match different needs, making the 6 active+6 passive degrees of freedom dexterous hand the mainstream in the industry. The FTP series launched last year not only integrates tactile sensor modules on the palm surface, but also enhances the grip strength of the entire hand, achieving a single fingertip output force of 3KG, meeting the high-strength requirements of factories.

Fanghainan also revealed that Yinshi Robot will launch a series of new products within the year, including a high degree of freedom dexterous hand. This will also be a product that emphasizes “solving needs” rather than parameter competition, and is expected to bring real value enhancement to the industry.

Challenge a larger market

In a previous speech, Time Robotics publicly stated that its overseas business will grow 20 times by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of over 100% in revenue, and North America, Japan, and South Korea have become key markets. According to Fang Hainan, unlike domestic low price competition, the demands of overseas customers are more diversified. Overseas customers are more willing to pay for technology, accept premiums, but pay more attention to product performance and long-term service capabilities. In addition, universities and laboratories have a strong demand for high degree of freedom hand data collection. In the continuous market expansion overseas in the past, with strong product capabilities, we have cooperated with many leading humanoid robot companies in the United States, Japan, and South Korea to provide highly reliable and agile hands.

We believe that going global is not only about market expansion, but also a global validation of technological strength and brand value. During this process, it was discovered that the various indicators of robot dexterous hands have not yet reached the level expected by people. For example, the driving unit needs to be further highly integrated in the palm of the hand, which still poses huge challenges to component volume and heat dissipation design. Therefore, we also strive to continuously improve the degree of freedom and intelligence while maintaining the advantage of miniaturization.

Based on a solid technological foundation and productization capabilities, due to the rapid development of robots in domestic and international markets, sales are still maintaining a strong upward trend. In an interview, Fang Hainan revealed to Robot Lecture Hall that sales in Q1 2025 have exceeded expectations and are expected to maintain 100% growth for the whole year.

Be a friend of time

In multiple public speeches and interviews, Time Robot has repeatedly emphasized the importance of “returning to rhythm” – regardless of industry trends or downturns, companies should always focus on real needs and technological breakthroughs. This pragmatic attitude has enabled it to maintain a dual wheel drive of technological innovation and deep cultivation of scenarios, which may also be the key to its sustained leadership in fierce competition.

In the future, the dexterous hand industry will surely move from “price chaos” to “rational prosperity”. As humanoid robots move from “laboratory wonders” to “factory standards”, the maturity and cost controllability of dexterous hands, as the “last execution checkpoint”, will directly determine the commercialization process of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence industry.

The exploration of timely robots is not only the growth history of a company, but also reflects the potential path of China’s technology and intelligent manufacturing from catching up to surpassing: solid cultivation and wild growth!

As an annual industry event that links global intelligent manufacturing resources, the 2025 South China International Industrial Fair (referred to as the “South China Industrial Fair”), jointly organized by Hannover Milan Exhibition (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Donghao Lansheng Exhibition Group, will grandly open on June 4-6 at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao’an New Hall).
