Computer-aided Engineering Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Computer-aided Engineering Market
The computer-aided engineering market size was valued at USD 8.0 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 8.91 billion in 2024 to USD 21.60 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
Due to COVID-19, computer-aided engineering market was adversely affected the as there were disruptions in the manufacturing and the construction industry. The lower demand for new projects, supply chain disruptions, and the constraining budgets for CAE solutions impeded the investments in these solutions. Furthermore, remote work scenarios caused problems such as collaboration and data security. Many vendors of CAE solutions ended up deferring software upgrades and the purchase of software licenses, thus affecting their revenue streams.
The computer-aided engineering market continues to experience strong growth driven by technological progress in simulation, growing customer needs for innovative products, and the search for cost and timing efficiency in product development processes. Industries such as auto, aerospace and manufacturing sectors integrate CAE into their processes to improve product performance, optimize design and cut down the new product development time which in turn is driving computer-aided engineering market growth.
The computer-aided engineering market is witnessing some trends, such as deep learning and AI integration aiming at improving the simulation capabilities, thereby allowing more accurate predictions and optimizations. There is rise of cloud-based CAE solutions due to their scalability and accessibility features that enable teamwork and remote work. Sector-centric CAE software that is meant for automotive, aerospace and healthcare is being developed and is emerging quickly to deal with unique problems and expectations that these industries hold.
Comprehensive Analysis of Computer-aided Engineering Market
The computer-aided engineering industry is rising at an exponential rate due to its market segmentation. These segmentations are methodically segregated by deployment, by type and by end-user. Based on deployment, market is divided into cloud and on-premise.
