The emergence of digitalization of the manufacturing process has led to the increased efficiency of the product development process. Before the era of digitalization, the designs of the prototype were drafted manually which led to the delay in the production time and also involved accuracy issues in the size and dimensions, since they were manually calculated. However, with the introduction of computer-aided design software packages, not only the efficiency of the designing and production process has enhanced but it also led to more creativity in the designs by various engineers and designers. The digitalization of designs has now given the designers the opportunity to explore and innovate their products in multiple end-user industries such as automotive, healthcare, electronics and electricals, among others.



The global computer-aided design market is estimated to witness growth at a CAGR of 6.35% over the period of 2018 to 2028.
