APAC contributes more than 40% of the share in the global computer-aided design (CAD) market in the electrical and electronic industry. This is due to the presence of a large number of electronic contract manufacturers and electronic component manufacturers in this region, especially in China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea,and Japan. The availability of low-cost labor and raw materials results in reduced cost of production.The high cost of CAD software and the cost of training after implementation are hindering smaller players in adopting CAD solutions. Open-source and pirated CAD software pose a threat to the proprietary CAD software market.CAD in the electrical and electronic industry will be leveraged by Electrical Design,Mechanical Design (EDMD) Extensible Markup Language (XML) standards. Many

ECAD and MCAD vendors have adopted this standard for the integration of ECAD and MCAD, and this trend will rise in the forecast period.
