Market Overview
The global computer-aided engineering market is projected to reach USD 28,787.42 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.3% (2025–2035). Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) is the use of computer software to support engineering tasks such as analysis, simulation, design optimization, and validation of products. It helps engineers predict performance, improve efficiency, and reduce the need for physical prototypes.
One of the most significant factors leading to the global Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) market increase is the demand for automation that is rising continuously, along with the adoption of the simulation-driven design. The requirement for reduced product development time, cost-effectiveness, and the reliability of the product, where companies are motivated to use advanced simulation tools right from the design stage, is the primary reason behind the accelerated use of simulation technologies. Other reasons, such as outsourcing to developing countries, strict government safety and environmental regulations, and the arrival of AI-powered simulation platforms, also contribute to the overall positive trend of CAE adoption.

Key Company Development
SimScale has made remarkable progress through strategic partnerships and the introduction of new products. In December 2024, it joined hands with PTC to assist startups with free access to its simulation platform and collaborated with Hexagon to launch an advanced SaaS tool for nonlinear structural analysis. In May 2021, it facilitated CAD editing on its platform, while in March 2020, it opened up collaboration features for enterprises and reinforced its presence in cloud-native CAE solutions.

Major Players
Major competitors in the global computer-aided engineering market include Siemens AG, Autodesk Inc., Hexagon AB, Dassault Systèmes, PTC Software, Bentley Systems, Inc., ESI Group, Aveva Group, and SimScale.
