CAD Market In APAC: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The shift from a licensed-based model to a subscription-based model is notably driving the CAD market growth in APAC, although factors such as the growing need for expertise to operate and optimally use CAD software may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the CAD market in APAC. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key CAD Market Driver In APAC
The shift from a licensed-based model to a subscription-based model is one of the major drivers impacting the CAD market growth in APAC. Subscriptions are based on a term-based model and are time-bound for quarterly, annual, two-yearly, or three-yearly periods. The subscription-based model offers customers more flexibility, ways to customize the program to meet their unique needs or those of their businesses, free trials, access across numerous machines and devices, and get instant cloud access. The benefit of this subscription-based model is that it reduces the acquisition costs. Another significant benefit is that Autodesk's portfolio is quite diverse, starting with AutoCAD at one end and encompassing 3D printing, cloud computing, and other emerging technologies. Vendors provide updated software versions with bug patches. In addition, the upfront costs are also low in the subscription-based model, and on-premises CAD software and services are subscribed on the terms decided by the user, be it monthly, quarterly, or annually. This flexibility, coupled with up-to-date software, has made the subscription model more preferred among end-users, which will contribute to the growth of the CAD market in APAC during the forecast period.
Key CAD Market Trend In APAC
Digitization, which is driven by CAD/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology in healthcare, is one of the major trends influencing the CAD market growth in APAC. The evolution of medical devices, advancements in computer science, and the integration of digitization in healthcare have resulted in the development of CAD/CAM technology in the healthcare industry. CAD/CAM technology has improved the handling and planning of complicated procedures such as tooth restoration and reconstruction, as well as 3D imaging of dental crowns, bridges, and implants. This, in turn, improves diagnosis. CAD/CAM systems comprise a scanner that transforms the geometry of a real object into digital data, software for data processing, and production technology to realize the desired product. Advancements in technology have increased the application of CAD/CAM technology in orthodontics for manufacturing custom-made brackets and aligners. With this technology, two-dimensional and three-dimensional bone models are created using numerical control machines. Therefore, digitization driven by CAD/CAM technology in healthcare is expected to positively impact the growth of the CAD market in APAC during the forecast period.
Key CAD Market Challenge In APAC
The growing need for expertise to operate and optimally use CAD software is one of the major challenges impeding the CAD market growth in APAC. CAD software involves the use of computer programs to create, modify, analyze, and document 2D or 3D graphical representations of physical objects as an alternative to manual drafts and product prototypes. CAD is widely used to create computer animation and special media effects, as well as in product and industrial designing. It is used throughout the engineering process, from conceptual product designing and layout through assembly analysis to manufacturing method definition. It enables engineers to interactively test design variants with minimal physical prototypes. All these functions are very technical and require good subject knowledge, certain qualifications, and years of experience with the software to optimally exploit every feature of the software to achieve the desired design.
This CAD market in the APAC analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
