3% of global car sales in 2021. However, by 2025, EVs account for 10% of global
passenger vehicle sales, rising to 28% by 2030. Increasing adoption of EVs will
boost the demand for advanced radar
systems to ensure driver safety. These factors will help in expanding the
PCB Design Software market size.
Growing Demand for Visualization Tools
for Designing Electronic devices is Propelling the Growth of PCB Design
Software Market:
The increasing adoption of visualization
tools for designing electronic devices is accelerating the growth of the PCB Design
Software Market. They are widely used to design circuit boards in the
electronics & telecommunications industries to save time and eliminate
challenges encountered during product development. PCB diagram software reduces
overall production costs due to its high efficiency and ability to reduce
design flaws. Additionally, they provide increased storage capacity,
enhanced functionality and faster processing speed, resulting in a wide
range of applications in a variety of sectors. Furthermore, the small size of
PCB boards makes it easier to design light & compact consumer devices,
resulting in increased demand for PCBs. According to a 2020 report published by
Invest India, the global electronic devices market was expected to reach $3.1
trillion in 2021 and will continue to grow at the same rate encouraging the
adoption of PCB Design Software. In January 2022, Altium launched Altium
Designer 22, to assist designers in sourcing component availability to reduce
