Engineering Design Software and Building Information Modeling Grows Despite the Pandemic

New ARC Advisory Group research on the Engineering Design Software Market includes engineering design, analysis and project management software and associated services used in projects for design and construction of physical plants and infrastructure. The market had surprisingly strong growth in 2020, considering the impact of the pandemic on overall economy. After 2020, it is expected to continue to experience high market growth globally.

engineering design software“Compared to the total cost of a project including construction, the cost of design is small. Many EPCs and AECs continued the design process while delaying construction during the pandemic, helping the EDS and BIM market to sustain itself,” according to Ralph Rio, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at ARC Advisory Group, and author of ARC's Engineering Design Software for Plants, Infrastructure, and Building Information Modeling Market Research report.

Rio continued: “The suppliers of EDS/BIM software have for the most part converted from selling up-front perpetual licenses to subscription services. Despite the pandemic, the EDS/BIM market added new users in 2020. Subscription services have many benefits to the user including converting CapEx to OpEx, nearly eliminating dependencies on IT support, no more upgrades, and reducing the first-year acquisition cost including servers by over 60 percent.”
