ID: MRFR/ICT/7059-HCR | February 2021 | Region: Global | 111 pages
Market Synopsis
The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Market was valued at USD 7.47 Billion in 2018; it is expected to reach USD 14.18 Billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period, 2019–2025. The market growth is attributed to large scale adoption of 3D CAD software that helps in designing complex structure seamlessly and surge in adoption of CAD tools by contractors for mechanical, plumbing, piping and HVAC sectors that helps them to increase the productivity. Furthermore, the integration of virtual reality with CAD tools is expected to be one of the better prospects for the CAD market growth during the forecast period.
The adoption of CAD helps in generating designs and models that allow industries to improve their productivity in a rapidly changing environment. Also, an increase in the adoption of 3D technology helps the industries to reduce the risk in manufacturing faulty machine parts, thereby increasing the overall productivity of the industries, particularly in construction, automotive and industrial manufacturing.
However, rising security concerns over cloud-based CAD solution and the emergence of building information modelling (BIM) are expected to hinder the growth of the CAD market during the forecast period.

Key developments
- In February 2019, Bentley Systems acquired SignCAD, a traffic sign design software provider. The acquisition allows the former to strengthen its product portfolio of 3D modelling in open roads. The acquisition would further allow the Bentley Systems to provide high-quality solutions to the transportation owners and operators in designing, building, and maintaining the lifecycle of the projects.
- In December 2018, Autodesk Inc. acquired BuildingConnected, one of the providers of preconstruction platform for real estate owners and general contractors. The acquisition helped Autodesk to strengthen its product portfolio by including pre-construction solution that includes bid management and risk analysis.
- In November 2018, Autodesk Inc., acquired PlanGrid, a provider of construction software for general contractors, sub-contractors, and building owners. The acquisition helped Autodesk to offer more comprehensive, cloud-based construction platform to its clients.
