3D CAD Software Market Size

3D CAD Software Market Future Prospects

The global 3D CAD software market size was USD 12.0 billion in 2024, and this number is expected to increase to USD 22.0 billion by 2032, advancing at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period (2025–2032). This is attributed to the increasing use of 3D modeling and the rising demand for cloud-based and mobile-friendly 3D CAD solutions. Moreover, the adoption of such software is surging, due to the increasing number of professionals in the field of designing, especially in sectors such as aerospace & defense, automotive, and healthcare.

In addition, packaging machines are increasingly becoming complex, especially with the rise in the focus on efficiency, due to which designers and engineers are deploying such software to meet mechatronic engineering challenges. Thus, these factors are resulting in the increasing demand for 3D CAD software, globally.

Another key industry that is increasingly using CAD tools is aerospace, where precision, quality, efficiency, performance, and safety are everything. This software is widely used to design autonomous flight systems, often in combination with AI. CAD enables the usage of new, high-performance materials as well as additive manufacturing, which saves time, material wastage, and operational costs. The watershed moment for the aerospace industry in regard to CAD tools was the 1995 launch of Boeing 777, which was designed entirely using this technology.
