Computer-aided Design Market, Global, 2023‒2030


Design Innovation is Driving Transformational Growth through the Adoption of Advanced Technologies and Cloud-based Deployments in Manufacturing

Computer-aided design (CAD) is an essential tool for designers in manufacturing. As products and demands change, CAD must evolve to accommodate these transformations. A new market landscape is emerging as software-defined products become the norm, prompting manufacturers to adapt and manage the mechanical and electronic dimensions of their products in unison. More complex software workloads require advanced CAD tools to meet performance and power requirements. As demands for sustainability and compliance with regulations grow, design is a crucial stage where manufacturers can optimize product performance and reduce its environmental impact. Technological innovations are also altering CAD as generative design and cloud deployment gain relevance and provide users with enhanced collaboration capabilities, lower barriers of entry, and greater flexibility. CAD vendors need to keep pace with this dynamic environment and develop offerings that channel these new demands into cutting-edge software for manufacturers as the market continues to show strong prospects for growth.
