Market Overview:
The global CAD and PLM software market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for CAD and PLM software from large enterprises and SMEs across different regions. Additionally, the growing trend of 3D printing is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, the CAD software segment is expected to hold a major share in this market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its wide usage among various industries for designing products or components.
Product Definition:
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software is a type of computer program used to create or design objects, often using three-dimensional models. PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software is a type of program that helps manage the creation and life cycle of products, from development through manufacturing and eventual retirement. Together, CAD and PLM software help businesses manage their product data more effectively and improve communication among different teams involved in product creation.
3D Printing Software:
3D printing software is used to create a 3D model using various tools and then convert it into an object which can be printed by the printer. The process involves three steps, namely, creation of 3D model, conversion of 2D file into 3D object and printing the same on a printer. The major advantage associated with this technology is that it allows end-users to view, modify & review the design in real-time as if it was present in front of them.
CAD Software:
CAD software is used in computer-aided design for 2D and 3D modeling, animation, drafting, and printing. The primary function of CAD software is to allow the user to create a drawing from an idea or concept by using appropriate tools. It also allows the user to modify the existing model as per necessity.
Application Insights:
The large enterprises segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. CAD/PLM software solutions are widely used by large enterprises as they offer various advantages such as improved design efficiency, reduced time of production, increased productivity and quality assurance. The benefits offered by these solutions are significant enough to encourage their use even by large companies that have their own internal PLM systems.
SMEs accounted for a relatively smaller market share in comparison with that of large enterprises but this is expected to change over the forecast period due to increasing penetration of 3D printing technologies among small businesses. These businesses usually lack sufficient resources which can be employed for data entry tasks or experienced personnel who can operate sophisticated software applications required for designing products using multiple materials or processes (for example CNC machining).
Regional Analysis:
The North American regional market dominated the global CAD and PLM software industry in 2016. The growth of this region can be attributed to the presence of a large number of automotive manufacturers, which use computer-aided design (CAD) tools for designing and prototyping new vehicle components. Furthermore, rising investments by governments in R&D activities related to energy conservation have resulted in an increased demand for efficient designs that reduce overall product weight as well as volume. This is expected to drive the adoption rate of 3D printing technologies across various industries over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as one of the most lucrative regions during the forecast period owing to increasing government initiatives aimed at promoting manufacturing practices among small & medium enterprises (SMEs).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for CAD and PLM software from the automotive and aerospace industries
- Rising demand for 3D printing technology
- Growing popularity of cloud-based CAD and PLM software
- Proliferation of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Emergence of new design trends
