In addition, the company had double digit growth from 2008 to 2009 and became the market share leader in power analysis, with over 65% of the total market.

Gary Smith of Gary Smith EDA, a leading provider of market intelligence and advisory services for the global electronic design automation (EDA) market, stated, “Apache achieved market share leadership in power analysis and has continually met their marketing goals.”
