The global computer-aided design (CAD) market in the aerospace and defense industry is highly driven by the increase in defense spending in 2015 and 2016 by countries such as the US, France, and China. For instance, France is expected to increase its defense spending by $660 million by 2017. This is expected to drive the R&D in this industry, which will increase the demand for CAD software.The demand for CAD software is expected to be high due to increasing demand for passenger aircraft worldwide. The number of flight passengers will increase globally during the forecast period; hence, many airline companies will require more passenger aircraft. As CAD is used for expediting the whole manufacturing process of aircraft, the demand for the software will be high.The implementation of CAD software and its training are expensive. This acts as a major drawback, especially in the APAC market where major end-users are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which have budget constraints.
