Computer Aided Engineering Industry

The global computer aided engineering market size is expected to reach USD 23,405.4 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.8% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rapid growth of the wearable industry is likely to increase the use of CAE software in the electronics industry. The major players in the market are in search of new sources of revenue as the smartphone market is in the maturity stage. As a result, the demand for wearable technology has increased the demand during the forecast period.

The growing penetration of IoT, tablets, and smartphones is expected to boost the CAE market growth. Owing to the growth of IoT, wearable devices, used in the fields of medicine, fitness, transportation, education, entertainment, and gaming, are increasing; paving way for the growth of the CAE market. Miniaturization of electronic devices and sensors and persuasive connectivity with lowered costs have immensely contributed to the growth of wearable technology devices.

Government regulations, mandating applications, such as collision avoidance, parking assistance systems, wireless communication technology, and interactive infotainment systems, in the upcoming car technologies to increase driver safety, are anticipated to raise the demand for CAE software. Additionally, technological advancements in the automotive sector, including driverless cars and semi-autonomous cars, are further anticipated to boost the industry demand.

The emerging new engineering modes such as 3D printing, building information modeling, and concurrent engineering is likely to influence the market. 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing that allows users to print any object as a 3-D image. The technology helps in reducing production costs and developing new methods of production. Ease of use and unlimited customization capabilities are the key factors driving the 3D printing market which is further expected to positively impact the computer aided engineering market demand.
