Industry 4.0, which emphasizes smart manufacturing through the integration of IoT, automation, and data analytics, is significantly driving the CAD market. Industrial machinery manufacturers are increasingly adopting CAD software to design and simulate complex systems that support real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automation. CAD tools are evolving to incorporate these new technologies, allowing engineers to design machinery that can seamlessly integrate with automated production lines, improving efficiency and reducing time-to-market. For instance, in 2024, Bricsys launched BricsCAD V25, unveiling over 60 smart features to automate workflows and enhance productivity across CAD, BIM, and Mechanical software, enabling faster, more efficient design processes.
Another major driver is the growth in demand for customization of machine design. Manufacturers are under pressure to produce equipment that meets specific customer requirements, and these are usually complex customized features. CAD software facilitates precise design modifications, faster iterations, and testing of different configurations on a digital basis before making the prototypes. These save costs, shorten development cycles, and increase product quality. For instance, in 2024, PTC’s Creo 11 introduced enhanced usability, productivity tools, and innovative features, empowering advanced CAD model management and improving product development workflows for seamless and efficient design processes. With industrial sectors demanding highly specialized machinery, CAD solutions are becoming indispensable tools for manufacturers to stay competitive in a fast-evolving market.
