The Electrical Computer-Aided Design Market size is expected to nearly double over the forecast period, reflecting strong investment in software tools, design automation, and electronic system complexity. According to MRFR, the market value is projected to rise from around USD 2,763.69 million in 2024 to approximately USD 5,400 million by 2032, demonstrating an 8.73% CAGR. 

Multiple factors contribute to this expansion. First, increasing electronic content in vehicles (EVs, ADAS systems), automation in industrial machinery, smart grids, smart infrastructure, and AI/ML integration in design are amplifying demand. Moreover, applications such as rail signaling, mining equipment control, switchgear design, water treatment & distribution control are increasingly leaning on ECAD tools to streamline process design, validation, and compliance. Growth in the discrete industry vertical is especially significant, as this vertical includes high-volume electronics manufacturing that needs scalable, precise design tools. 

Cloud deployment models are helping reduce upfront costs and improve collaboration, enabling more enterprises, especially SMEs, to adopt ECAD workflows. The software segment (design tools, simulation, schematic design) claims the majority of revenue; services (support, training, maintenance) complement this growth. Automotive vertical contributes a large share of usage, but growth in other sectors like power generation, equipment & machinery, and aerospace & defense will further push up overall size. Technological shifts like integration of 3D-ECAD, MCAD-ECAD co-design, virtual prototyping, and real-time design feedback are also enabling larger, more complex, but more reliably designed systems.

Regional expansion is notable. North America is mature and continues to contribute heavily to size. Europe’s growth is backed by industrial modernization, regulatory compliance, sustainability mandates, and manufacturing automation. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, fueled by rising electronics manufacturing, increasing adoption of EVs, infrastructure development, and governmental initiatives in China, India, Southeast Asia.
