Key Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Market Driver
The growth of the smartphone industry is notably driving market growth. The electrical and electronics industry is a major end-user of FEA software. In the past, end-users used to access the internet on their desktops. However, consumers now prefer to access the internet without any time and location constraints. Consumers need web applications for purposes such as viewing multimedia content, browsing, video calling, gaming, and social networking. These facilities are supported by smartphones with an enhanced HD viewing experience on a small screen and web surfing capabilities. Tablets and smartphones fulfill both the entertainment and business-related needs of end-users, leading to their increased adoption among end-users.
Smartphone and tablet providers are using new technologies, hardware, and software to launch innovative products in the market. They adopt simulation software to analyze several parameters of product development. For instance, ANSYS simulation software, including FEA, is used to analyze the structural weakness of a tablet casing and the effect of different casing materials on thermal management and IC performance and check for electronic signal performance. This has increased the demand for FEA software in the smartphone industry. Hence, such factors are expected to boost the growth of the global CAE market during the forecast period.
Significant Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Market Trend
CFD in battery design is an emerging trend in the market. CFD is mainly used to analyze the temperature in a battery module. Proper battery temperature maintenance helps to increase battery life and performance. Engineers are using CFD to design air-cooled systems rather than liquid-cooled systems because air-cooled systems are lighter and more reliable. They help reduce cost, which also makes them ideal for compact and economical vehicles. CAD-embedded CFD is used to predict thermal conditions, including temperature distribution and the average temperature of the battery.
Engineers worldwide are conducting several research programs on batteries with different electrodes. CFD software helps to reduce the cost of such programs by eliminating the need for prototypes by providing simulations. The temperature, current density, and electrochemical flow can be easily analyzed using CFD solutions. One of the instances where CFD solutions are used for battery designing includes CFD software ANSYS Fluent was used to analyze the fluid thermal performance of the battery cells used in Ford Fusion. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the global CAE market during the forecast period.
Major Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Market Challenge
The high cost of CAE software is a major challenge impeding market growth. The high initial investment required for the development of FEA and CFD software acts as a major challenge to the growth of the overall market. Though large enterprises are increasingly adopting commercial simulation software to reduce their operational costs and improve their product quality, SMEs are reluctant to adopt this software due to the high initial investments and the lack of technological expertise.
The cost involved in vibration analysis and stability analysis is prohibitively high for many end-users. FEA and CFD software are deployed to enhance the efficiency of the product using simulations during the design phase. Therefore, this software is made available with a high number of features, which requires the end-users to be trained to use it. Training in the upgrading of the software is also essential to achieve optimal performance, but it is expensive. This discourages some companies from investing in software, which, in turn, hinders the market growth. Hence, factors like these will negatively impact the growth of the global CAE market during the forecast period.

CFD was used mainly for construction-related activities such as temperature regulation in buildings. The automotive industries in Germany and France are the major end-users of CFD in Europe.
Furthermore, the major automotive vendors have set up their manufacturing units in Germany. The country has the presence of many automobile OEMs and suppliers. These vendors adopt FEA solutions to design, simulate, and analyze their products, which contributed to the growth of the FEA software market in the automotive industry in Germany. Another major area where CAE software sees high demand in Germany is the aerospace and defense industry. Germany is one of the major players in European space programs. It supplies many system components for Galileo, the global navigation satellite system developed by the EU and the European Space Agency. In addition, Europe plays a major role in initiating emission standards across the world. Manufacturers must design efficient engines to comply with emission standards. The CFD software is widely used to design such low-emission engines. Therefore, these factors will drive the growth of the market in the region during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, negatively impacted the regional market. However, in 2021, factories, warehouses, and other facilities of regional vendors reopened due to large-scale vaccination drives. As a result, local vendors were able to meet the increased demand of end-user industries such as the construction, automotive, and packaging industries. In addition, the integration of IoT and cloud computing applications can help enhance software services offered by multiple stakeholders. This helps technology vendors and service providers to support many end-users in a reliable and decentralized manner, which, in turn, facilitates the creation of smart environments such as smart homes, smart cities, and smart energy.
