This new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Growth in global medical electronics market

The global medical electronics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 6% during the forecast period. CAD is broadly used for designing PCB and ICs for medical electronics devices. Medical electronics include all electronic devices that are used for treating and diagnosing diseases. An increase in urbanization has created the need for enhanced healthcare facilities, which has been a major driving force for medical electronics. Emerging countries such as India and China are the major players in medical electronics due to the increasing need for developing healthcare standards in the country.

Increased demand for smartphones and tablets

CAD is extensively used for designing smartphones and tablets. The global electrical and electronics industry experiences an increase in the production and demand for smartphones and tablets. Consumers, these days, prefer accessing internet facilities without time and location constraints. They require web applications for many purposes such as viewing multimedia content, browsing the internet, video calling, gaming, and social networking which are well supported by smartphones and tablets. Growing consumer preferences are compelling smartphone and tablet providers use innovative technology, hardware, and software to develop such products in the market.

Growing demand for CAD from semiconductor industry

The semiconductor industry is one of the major contributors to the overall revenue of the CAD market. CAD helps the industry decrease the complexity and difficulties involved in the design of semiconductor chips and has reduced the overall product development time. Moreover, continuous growth in the semiconductor industry has triggered the demand for CAD. The growth of set-top boxes due to a rise in direct-to-home (DTH) services in rural parts of countries such as India and Brazil has also led to an increased demand for CAD. CAD is increasingly used in R&D as well as manufacturing leading to an upsurge in the demand for the software from both R&D-intensive countries and manufacturing-intensive countries.

Some of the other prominent vendors identified in this report are 3D Systems, solidThinking, Altium, Autodesk, Cadonix, FreeCAD, Suzhou Gstarsoft, IronCAD, KiCad, Kubotek, Vectorworks, PTC, Zuken, and ZWSOFT.
