Based on deployment, the cloud segment is predicted to lead the 3D CAD software industry. This growth can be associated with the high adoption of cloud-based deployment strategies by many enterprises in a variety of industry verticals owing to the abundant advantages offered by cloud technology, such as collaborative interface, ability to share designs with the stakeholders, cohesive data management, and increased accessibility to important data at any time. Furthermore, based on application, the manufacturing segment is estimated to account for a healthy growth in the forecast period due to the extensive use of 3D CAD software to design manufacturing prototypes and in the process of manufacturing. Thus, the increased utilisation of CAD software is expected to bolster the market growth.
North America is estimated to occupy a significant share of the 3D CAD software industry in the forecast period. This increase can be attributed to the growing implementation of 3D CAD software in the aerospace, defence, and manufacturing sector in the region for the designing of prototypes of various products. Moreover, 3D CAD is being increasingly implemented in the healthcare sector to facilitate the medical imaging process through which medical data such as CT scans can be represented in a 3D model form. In addition, 3D CAD software helps in the process of prototyping prosthetics, further increasing its usage. These factors are expected to catalyse the market growth of the global 3D CAD software industry in the forecast period.

3D CAD software refers to a 3-dimensional computer-aided designing software. It is a technology for designing and technical documentation that allows for an automated drafting process instead of a manual. This technology, mostly utilised by engineers, architects, and game designers, helps in visualising objects precisely to aid in the actual construction, assembling, modification, and optimisation process of the final product. This is a cost-effective software that helps improve the quality of design while also increasing the productivity of the designers. The 3D CAD software finds its usage in a wide variety of industries such as automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and in the production of computer animation and advertising, among others.
