Top Impacting Factors
Factors such as rise in use of CAM software in packaging machinery, surge in industrialization, and increase in investments of R&D activities in the CAM market drives growth of the market. However, availability of free and open-source CAM software is expected to impede the market growth. Conversely, increase in adoption of cloud-based solutions and technological advancements in CAM software are expected to present major opportunities for the market expansion in the future.
Rise in use of computer aided manufacturing software in packaging machinery
Major factor that propels growth of the CAM market includes surge in adoption of CAM software in packaging machinery. Packaging machinery helps to complete various phases of packaging process such as filling, wrapping, strapping, and labelling. As packaging machines are becoming increasingly complex with higher efficiency demand, engineers and designers are adopting CAM software to face unique mechatronic engineering challenges. CAM software offers an innovative tool, which is expected to increase productivity and reduce overall cost per package. Moreover, emergence of smart packaging is expected to fuel growth of the Computer aided manufacturing market in packaging machinery as designers are streamlining communication between electrical engineering controls and mechanical systems through CAM integrated product development solutions.
Increase in adoption of cloud-based solutions
Major shift from proprietary software to cloud-based subscription is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market growth. Adoption of cloud-based solutions is expected to grow at a faster rate as it enables end-users to reduce their overall implementation and ownership cost. Growth of cloud-based solutions is expected to come from new users drawn to low-risk start-up value-proposition offered by cloud-based applications and by cloud-based offerings replacing existing desktop software whose users are expected to be attracted to operational flexibility enabled by cloud-based subscription models.
Furthermore, to enhance their products, vendors of CAM software offer additional features and launch new products, which are projected to boost adoption of CAM software among end users. For instance, in February 2017, Machining Software Pvt. Ltd launched OnCreate3D CAM app, which is full cloud 3D CAM app. The app omits use of buying separate CAM packages and does not require tracking of license update codes on hardware dongles and software lock files.
