Global Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) Software Market Overview
The key driver impacting the computer-aided engineering software market is the rapidly growing automotive sector, and the growing demand for electric vehicles is boosting the CAE software demand in the forecast period. CAE software is majorly used to analyze the feasibility of heat dissipation techniques such as ventilation, cooling, and aerodynamics in the automotive sector. For instance, As per Crescendo Worldwide Organization, the global automobile production in 2019 was estimated as 92 MN Vehicles, and it is anticipated to grow by a CAGR of 20.78% by 2028, and it is estimated to reach $ 9 trillion by 2030. Electric vehicle makers are majorly utilizing computational fluid dynamics to drop the cost of electric vehicles and to predict thermal conditions. The growing EV sales are likely to create a positive impact on the CAE market. According to IEA, Electric cars account for 2.6% of global car sales, and it registered a 40% year-on-year rise. Sales of electric vehicles recorded 2.1 million worldwide in 2019, surpassing 2018. Moreover, the emergence of advanced technologies such as backside illumination (BSI) for high sensitivity, color noise reduction (CNR) for truer colors, and high dynamic range (HDR) for smooth and crisp video is also estimated to be a major determinant that adding growth to the market.
According to Value Market Research, the global computer-aided engineering software market was valued at around USD 6750 million in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 10% during the forecast period of 2021 to 2027.
The high prevalence of critical and chronic medical conditions like cardiovascular diseases and cancer creates a massive demand for medical imaging for early diagnosis, which is estimated to augment market demand in the forecast period. As CAE software and solutions are very efficient in diagnosing complex medical conditions. For instance, According to World Health Organization, Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, taking an expected 17.9 million lives every year. Cancer is the second-most cause of death after cardiovascular diseases and accounts for 9.6 million deaths worldwide in 2018. There is one in six deaths happened due to cancer. However, it is open-source software, and companies evade making investments in obtaining the commercial licenses of CAE solutions, which may hamper the global computer-aided engineering market in the long run. The current industry trends, such as rising concerns about security and surveillance in public places, and rapid adoption of computational fluid dynamics, which reduce electric vehicles' cost, are expected to provide profitable market opportunities for the market players.
