Growing automotive industry is projected to boost the demand for engineering and commissioning software. Engineering and commissioning software is widely used in the automotive industry to maximize the benefits of industry automation by reducing downtime and improving production profitability. It facilitates the planning, execution, and tracking of complex engineering in the automotive industry. Therefore, the rapid expansion of the automotive industry across the globe along with the increasing production of vehicles is propelling the market. For instance,
According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, about 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced across the globe in 2022, an increase of 5.7% as compared to 2021.
The adoption of engineering and commissioning software is rapidly increasing in the manufacturing, construction, automotive, and aerospace industries, as it allows manufacturers to identify machine faults at the initial possible time and significantly shorten the commissioning time of machine tools. It provides technical support and system walk-downs to ensure the proper operation, maintenance, and installation of equipment and systems.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the engineering and commissioning software market. The abrupt rise in COVID-19 cases encouraged governments to impose lockdowns and suspend all industrial works, which impeded the demand for engineering and commissioning software.
Moreover, a drastic decline was registered in the manufacturing of motor vehicles, which significantly hindered the market, as engineering and commissioning software is utilized in automobiles to design, plan, and execute projects to increase production profitability. For instance,
According to a report published by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, a 16% decline was registered in the production of automobiles in 2020.
The emergence of artificial intelligence and the growing reliance on software and applications creates an immense opportunity in the market. AI in engineering and commissioning software enhances user experiences and contributes to efficient and secure software systems by improving code quality and accelerating development processes. AI-enabled engineering and commissioning software selects and prioritizes projects that have high chances of success and deliver high benefits.
Increasing industrialization across the globe is projected to boost the market. Engineering and commissioning software is widely used in industries to manage and identify faults at an early stage by connecting the real-time control system with the virtual machine model.
This software helps operators shorten the commissioning time of machine tools, which further increases its adoption in industries. Thus, the rising industrialization contributes to market growth.
Growing construction activities at a rapid pace are expected to drive the market. Engineering and commissioning software is often used to design and plan construction sites, schedule installations, troubleshoot problems, and suggest improvements in the project. This, in turn, boosts the demand for engineering and commissioning software in the construction industry. For instance,
The size of the global construction sector amounted to USD 6.4 trillion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 14.4 trillion in 2030.
Lack of awareness regarding the engineering and commissioning software in emerging nations is projected to restrict the market. Industries and engineers in emerging nations are still unaware of the benefits of engineering and commissioning software, which is limiting its adoption.
Moreover, the high complexity of engineering and commissioning software is impeding the market, as it causes confusion and mis communication, which, in turn, severely affects project outcomes.
Increasing R&D activities by key players to develop and launch a digital reality application that makes reality capture data accessible to everyone in any industry or trade creates an immense opportunity in the market. For instance,
