Report Description
Computer Aided Engineering Market Outlook 2031:
The global computer aided engineering market size was valued at USD 9.44 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 20.33 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increased outsourcing of manufacturing processes in emerging economies.
Computer aided engineering (CAE) is a technology implemented with the use of computer software to analyze performance by improving design of the product and assist in the management of engineering challenges.
The application of CAE is used in numerous applications such as processes, simulation, validation & optimization of products, and manufacturing tools. The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the market as it affected the supply and demand chain in the automotive sector, which is a major market for CAE.
Computer Aided Engineering Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Advancement of technologies in the automobile sector such as driverless and semi-autonomous vehicles are expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.
- Emergence of advanced engineering models such as 3D printing, building information modelling, and concurrent engineering are the major factors driving the market growth.
- Expensive pricing model and high licensing fees for CAE are key challenges likely to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
- Concerns related to cyber-attacks and data theft present major restraining factors. This is anticipated to hamper the market expansion during the projected period.
- Increase in the adoption of computational fluid dynamics, which aids in the prediction of temperature and the cost reduction of vehicles. This is projected to create significant growth opportunities for the market in the near future.
