The India computer aided design market share is expanding, driven by the rising reliance on advanced design software to develop innovative and efficient vehicles, along with the growing usage of artificial intelligence (AI) that aids in automating repetitive tasks.

India Computer Aided Design Market Trends:

Growing vehicle manufacturing

The rising vehicle manufacturing is fueling the India computer aided design market growth. With India becoming a major hub for automobile production, ranging from passenger cars to electric vehicles (EVs) and commercial trucks, computer aided design software is playing a crucial role in designing components, improving aerodynamics, and optimizing structural strength. As per the data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), in 2024, the retail vehicle revenue indicated a 5.18% increase year-on-year (YoY) in India, with overall sales totaling 40,73,843 units, up from 38,73,381 units in CY23. Automakers and suppliers use computer aided design tools for 3D modeling, prototyping, and simulation, helping them to reduce design errors, speed up production, and lower costs. The escalating demand for EVs is further encouraging computer aided design adoption, as manufacturers are developing new battery technologies, lightweight materials, and energy-optimized designs. Additionally, regulatory standards on safety and emissions are motivating companies to refine vehicle structures utilizing computer aided design-based simulations and testing. Automotive startups and research centers are also leveraging computer aided design for futuristic vehicle concepts, including autonomous and connected cars. As India’s vehicle production is rising, the dependence on computer aided design solutions for efficiency and compliance is rising, making it an essential tool in the automotive industry’s rapid evolution.

Rising usage of AI

The increasing employment of AI is offering a favorable India computer aided design market outlook. AI-oriented computer aided design software is helping engineers and designers to automate repetitive tasks, generate optimized designs, and detect errors early, saving time and reducing costs. Industries like automotive, aerospace, and architecture are using AI-based computer aided design tools to create complex models with greater precision and less manual effort. AI also enables predictive design, where software suggests modifications and improvements as per real-time simulations and past data. With AI integration, computer aided design systems can analyze large datasets to refine material selection, structural integrity, and energy optimization in designs. The rise of generative design, where AI explores multiple design possibilities based on specific parameters, is further revolutionizing how structures are formed. Government agencies are also investing in AI projects, thereby positively influencing the market. In March 2024, the Cabinet sanctioned an allocation exceeding INR 10,300 Crore for the IndiaAI Mission, representing a crucial advancement in enhancing India’s AI ecosystem. A key element of this initiative was the ‘IndiaAI Compute Capacity’, which was intended to establish a scalable AI computing framework by implementing more than 10,000 graphics processing units (GPUs) via strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors.
