The rise of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 is expected to support the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industrial design market going forward. Smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 involve the integration of advanced digital technologies and automation into manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, flexibility, and productivity. These approaches have gained prominence due to the growing need for higher operational efficiency, lower production costs, and improved product quality. AI in industrial design supports intelligent manufacturing by optimizing production workflows, predicting equipment failures, and improving product quality through real-time data analysis and automation. For example, in January 2025, according to the Society of Operations Engineers, a UK-based charitable organization and professional engineering institution, 80% of UK manufacturers expected Industry 4.0 to be implemented within their businesses by 2025. At present, 67% were aware of Industry 4.0, with 23% already adopting digitization and automation and 62% planning to transition. Therefore, the rise of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 is contributing to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industrial design market.

Leading companies operating in artificial intelligence (AI) in industrial design are developing advanced tools, such as AI-powered search tools, to enhance design efficiency and accuracy while reducing time-to-market. Search tools use AI-driven image recognition and similarity algorithms to analyze and compare visual elements, enabling users to quickly identify similar designs and streamline registration processes. For example, in February 2024, Corsearch, a UK-based data-driven trademark and domain establishment and protection company, launched an industrial design search tool within its TrademarkNow platform. This AI-powered tool improves the identification and registration of aesthetic industrial designs by allowing professionals to perform faster and more accurate searches that focus on visual product elements rather than functionality. The tool leverages similarity algorithms and enables users to refine searches by geographic regions and Locarno class features.

In June 2023, Accenture Plc, an Ireland-based IT services company, acquired Flutura for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is designed to enhance Accenture’s industrial AI services, particularly for clients in the energy, chemicals, metals, mining, and pharmaceutical sectors. The acquisition aligns with Accenture’s strategy to support clients in achieving net-zero objectives. Flutura is an India-based industrial artificial intelligence design company.
