A part from the above-mentioned factor, the burgeoning usage of the CAD software in the packaging industry is also fueling the expansion of the CAD software market across the globe. Packaging processes involve the designing, planning, boxing, wrapping, or bottling of products for various end users such as individual customers and military, industrial, and manufacturing industries. These operations along with the associated product filling, strapping, labeling, and wrapping processes are completed with the help of packaging machinery.
As these machines are becoming more and more complex, designers and engineers are rapidly adopting the CAD software for meeting the mechatronic engineering challenges. The adoption of this software allows the unconventional modeling of these packaging equipment via communication and simulation control tools. Additionally, the mushrooming demand for smart packaging is further boosting the requirement for CAD software around the world, which is, in turn, propelling the expansion of the market.
Dep ending on technology, the CAD software market is divided into 3D software and 2D software categories. Of these, the 3D CAD software category will exhibit faster growth in the market in the coming years. This will be because of the various advantages of the 3D CAD software over the 2D one such as its ability to provide improved product presentation and visualization and the rising requirement for greater accuracy and precision in product drawings all over the world.
Furthermore, and the surging adoption of the 3D technology in several application areas is fueling the advancement of this category in the market. Across the globe, the CAD software market will demonstrate the fastest growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the forthcoming years. This is credited to the burgeoning adoption of this software in various regional countries such as India, China, and Japan, primarily for several healthcare and automotive applications.
Hence, it can be said with full surety that the market will exhibit huge expansion all over the world in the coming years, mainly because of the increasing usage of the CAD software in the automotive and packaging industries.
