Press Release

Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global CAD Market for VARs 2017-2021

Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global CAD market for VARs: DXC Technology, PITERION, and Tata Technologies.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: BCT Technology, Camanotech, CENIT, EDS Technologies, GeometricPLM, INNEO Solutions, MAYA Heat Transfer Technologies, Mercury Marine, and PROLIM.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “One trend in the market is growing use of 3D printers. 3D printers are popular in the manufacturing industry. Models are created through CAD software, such as SolidWorks 2017, which has an output directly connected to a 3D printer in a Windows 8.1 environment. Compared with the previous versions of SolidWorks, the Print3D option in the drop-down menu has significantly improved.”

According to the report, one driver in the market is benefits of CAD sold through VARs. The VARs specialize in the implementation of CADs and offer these software programs to numerous other companies. These retailers focus on the deployment and maintenance and regularly update themselves. Several VARs specialize in verticals such as aerospace and defense and automotive. The specialization gives them vertical-specific knowledge regarding the implementation of CAD software programs. VARs reduce investment in the IT infrastructure.

Further, the report states that one challenge in the market is high deployment cost of CAD. The implementation and training required for CAD incur high costs. A significant number of VARs provide implementation and training services. The implementation costs are considered general expenses. On an average, general expenses account for 45-55% of the total investments in perpetual licenses and subscriptions. The implementation costs account for 50% of the general expenses. Implementing CAD programs lead to system downtime that increases the hidden cost to the company.
