Global Engineering Software Market to Reach $50.2Bn by 2026

Engineering software is commonly used by civil engineers for analysis of structural designs. These solutions are used by mechanical, electrical and electronics, and computer & chemical engineers. Growth in the global market is driven by rising adoption across diverse industries and strong contribution from different software segments, according to analysts' coverage in a new report from Research and Markets. 

The market is anticipated to experience great growth owing to increasing implementation of integrated solutions and automation in several industries, from IT, energy and automotive to telecommunication, media and entertainment. Market growth is also favored by rising use of mobile devices like smart phones, laptops and tablets with improved accessibility to these software solutions.

Rising industrialization along with implementation of emerging technologies such as automation, AI, IoT and 3D printing is poised to present new growth opportunities. The market will also be driven by the anticipated increased investments made by regional governments in promoting manufacturing sectors in their nations. Rapid automation of industrial operations and equipment will fuel demand for engineering software such as CAD, CAM and CAE software, among others, according to analysts.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for engineering software (CAD; CAM; CAE; architecture, engineering and construction; and electronic design automation) estimated at US$32.6 Billion in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$50.2 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 9.7% over the analysis period. CAE, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to record a 9.1% CAGR and reach US$9.6 Billion by the end of the analysis period.

After an analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the EDA segment is readjusted to a revised 9.8% CAGR for the next 7-year period. CAE software, comprising finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multibody dynamics (MDB), and optimization capabilities, facilitates in simulation, validation, and optimization of manufacturing tools and products. The EDA software segment is expected to witness growth due to technological advances and increasing adoption among manufacturing units for better programming and control over programming aspects.
