Projected shift of manufacturing and sales facilities to APAC
Technavio, a company that develops over 2000 pieces of research every year and covers more than 500 technologies across 80 countries, has announced the top five leading vendors for the global cloud CFD market in their latest research report. This market research analysis also lists seven other prominent vendors who are expected to contribute to this market’s growth between 2016 and 2020.
To identify the top vendors, Technavio’s market research analysts have taken into account the revenue generated from the sales of software licenses.
This Technavio report, which is a part of the enterprise application vertical, is based on the synthesis, analysis, and interpretation of information about the global cloud CFD market collected from specialized sources. The analysts have derived insights using a mix of primary and secondary research with an aim to provide a holistic picture of the market.
“Many companies are focusing on continually innovating their products. With the addition of each version, they are incorporating new code-solving methods and analysis. If one particular area requires more CFD analysis, specific software modules are designed for those systems. Integration of 3-D components in electronics assemblies, enhanced simulation between contact parts in structural analysis, integration of composites to prototypes, and improved fluid dynamic solutions were some of the major focus areas for many major CFD vendors during 2015,” says Amrita Choudhury, one of Technavio’s key analysts for the ICT vertical.
The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top vendors in this market.
