Global Generative Design Market By Component (Solution & Services), By Deployment Mode (Cloud & On-premise), By Application (Production Design & Development and Cost Optimization), By Vertical, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2024

The global generative design market stood at $ 137 million in 2018 and is projected to grow to $ 290 million by 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of over 13% during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for environment friendly architecture and enhanced production efficiency. Generative design is a design process in which a program generates a certain number of outputs based on number of constraints. Designers or engineers can enter basic parameters such as weight, strength, height and material option, enabling them to offer a myriad number of design options for clients. Innovative advancements such as 3D printing, machine learning and big data are expected to positively affect the growth of the market. Moreover, generative design software helps to solve engineering problems and offers innovative design solutions, which is likely to fuel the global generative design market through 2024.

The generative design market can be segmented based on component, deployment mode, application, vertical and region. Based on the component, the market can be bifurcated into solution and services. The solution segment dominated the market in 2018, as it helps to reduce manufacturing time and cut costs of operations. Based on the deployment mode, the market can be segmented into cloud and on-premise. The on-premise segment accounted for the largest market share in 2018, as it offers flexibility of customizing software as per the requirements of the organization. On the basis of vertical, the market can be segmented into automotive, aerospace & defense, industrial manufacturing and others. The automotive sector accounts for the largest share in the global generative design market, owing to the high demand for advanced design software for reducing production and material costs.
