Double
Digit Growth For a
$6.5B Market
The
most
dynamic
segment
of
the
PLM
market,
with
a
healthy 12% CAGR in
the
past 5 years, the
Mechanical Computer
Aided Engineering
market
continues to ignore
the economic
downturn and almost
silently, as per
the engineers'
traditions it
serves, has become
the most profitable
segment of the PLM
business.
A first of its kind,
this report studies
the worldwide market
value,
the actual growth
rate and the vendors
revenue form 2006
until now,
through an
analysis of the top
13 MCAE software
vendors in North
America, Europe
and Asia-Pacific. It
provides analysis through
multiple
criteria,
and
for
each
criteria,
the
ranking
per
region
based
on
2010
numbers.
Compared
to
our
previous
MCAE
reports
published
since
2005,
beside
having
extended the scope
of the report from
Europe to the
Worldwide market,
we have included a
new type of vendor,
MathWorks whose
products come
under our definition
for the Mechanical
Computer Aided
Engineering
MCAE. This market
covers structural
analysis, vibration
or modal
analysis, thermal,
fluid dynamics,
crash simulation and
analysis,
fatigue, plastic
injection, test
simulation and other
simulations of
modeled systems,
assemblies or parts.
Other new comers to
our reports
are COMSOL, an
innovator in
multiphysics
simulation and
Autodesk who is
now a player in this
space thanks to its
multiple
acquisitions. See
the
full list of all the
vendors at the end
of this executive
summary.

Smaller
than
the
MCAD
market
in
terms
of
size,
but
growing
much faster, the
MCAE market is
experiencing less
hype, and has been
recording a steady
growth since
almost 30 years.
Probably engineers’
need for validation
of the
software products
which are supposed
to be used to
validate their own
manufactured
products through
simulation, test and
experimentations is
a key reason why
succeeding MCAE
products are
“senior” products.
Most solvers have
been available to
the market for at
least 10 or 15
years if not much
more. These
characteristics of
MCAE products
profoundly
separates the market
behaviour from those
of MCAD and PDM.
The above mentioned
characteristic of
the MCAE market led
us to
see some mergers,
acquisitions and
consolidation in the
MCAE
market in the past
few years, as it
takes too much time
for bigger
vendors to develop
their own
technologies and
grow them up to cash
generating
products; they
prefer acquiring
existing proven
technologies which
have
been validated
thanks to smaller
vendors. With the
solid growth seen in
this segment of the
PLM market, more
acquisitions are
going to take
place in the coming
years.
