Topology Research Institute analysts pointed out that although the world's major IC design companies performed well in 2018, due to the impact of the trade war and the slowdown in the growth of the Chinese market, the global market in 2019 was quite conservative. IC design companies did not perform as expected in the first quarter of 2019.
