ARC Advisory Group’s research on the Engineering Design Software and Building Information Modeling (EDS/BIM) market includes engineering design, analysis, and project management software and associated services used for the design and construction of physical plants and infrastructure. The EDS portion of the report includes power, process, and marine industries. The BIM market includes infrastructure. The market had surprisingly strong growth in 2021, considering the impact of the pandemic on the overall economy. After 2021, it is expected to continue to experience high market growth globally. Suppliers of EDS/BIM software have for the most part, converted from selling upfront perpetual licenses to subscription services. Despite the pandemic, the EDS/BIM market added new users in 2021. 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 the servers) by over 60 percent.
"Compared with 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. Developed regions are looking to EDS for innovative approaches to manage infrastructure assets as well as design and build new assets or retrofit legacy infrastructure components. Infrastructure engineering demands in North America primarily stem from upgrading projects for extending the life of existing infrastructure assets. Green and sustainability-focused projects are also drivers for the North American market," according to Ralph Rio, Vice President, Enterprise Software and key author of ARC's Engineering Design Software & Building Information Management Market Research Report.
