The generative design market size was valued at USD 217.5 million in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 257.2 million in 2023 to USD 926.0 million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 20.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030). North America accounted for a market value of USD 85.7 million in 2022 and is dominated the global market with a share of 39.4% in 2022. 


Generative design is a dynamic design examination process in which engineers or designers input their goals and parameters, such as performance, spatial requirements, materials, manufacturing methods, and cost constraints, into the software. This 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) capability utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) to autonomously generate numerous design alternatives, swiftly exploring all possible permutations to meet specified requirements. Engineers can interactively define their preferences, including materials and manufacturing processes, and the generative engine produces a ready-to-manufacture design. This approach accelerates product developments and innovation, allowing engineers to create superior designs efficiently.


Moreover, such design facilitates the exploration of numerous alternatives within a short timeframe, enhancing the speed of design innovation. By considering various factors, such as materials, manufacturing processes, and performance requirements, it optimizes designs for specific goals, significantly reducing the time required to design a product or component. Automating the design process and the rapid exploration of alternatives make generative design a powerful tool for creating efficient and innovative designs.


The market is driven by the rising demand for innovative and optimized design solutions and the growing need to significantly reduce time and material usage in the product development process. Moreover, the growing demand for lightweight and high-performance components and the potential for reducing material waste is driving the market in the aerospace industry. For instance, in March 2023, NASA (Space Agency) started using AI to develop and create its mission hardware with relatively stronger components than the human-designed counterparts, saving two-thirds of the weight.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Increase in Remote Collaboration Domains Amid Pandemic Propelled Market Growth


The market experienced both favorable and adverse effects due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the disruptions led to temporary project delays and reduced investments. However, the market swiftly recovered as companies realized the significance of generative design in overcoming challenges and adjusting to new circumstances. For instance, in August 2020, Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel (architecture firm) launched ACPVLab, a research and development unit that focuses on using such designs to develop interiors. The unit developed a handcrafted computer script, allowing interior designers and architects to explore various layout permutations instantly.


Also, the pandemic underscored the importance of efficient design solutions, cost optimization, and remote collaboration domains where such design excels. Consequently, there was an upsurge in the adoption of design technologies, especially in sectors such as healthcare, where rapid design iterations and optimization played a critical role.


Generative Design Market Trends


Rising Demand for Lightweight Vehicle Products to Enhance Market Growth


The rising demand for lightweight vehicle products has spurred the adoption of generative technology, emerging as a pivotal trend in the global market growth. Weight reduction is crucial for enhancing electric vehicle efficiency, as lighter vehicles require less energy for propulsion, contributing to extended range per charge – an essential factor for consumers evaluating electric vehicles.


Moreover, such design addresses structural integrity, manufacturing constraints, and material properties to create efficient, optimal, and lightweight designs. This technology empowers designers to swiftly explore diverse possibilities, resulting in minimized material usage and improved performance and functionality.


For instance, in March 2021, XponentialWorks partnered with Arcimoto (lightweight and electric fun utility vehicles provider). The joint plan worked with Paramatters’ CogniCAD generative design software to reduce the vehicle weight using lightweighted components. The team reduced the weight of a control arm (upper) by 52%, a rear swing arm by 34%, and a brake pedal by 49%.

RESTRAINING FACTORS


Lack of Interoperability with Other Software and Legacy Systems to Impede Market Growth


A potential obstacle to market growth is the presence of interoperability issues with other software and legacy systems. The difficulty in sharing information among stakeholders is increased by the lack of interoperability, leading to potential errors. Traditionally, information exchange relied on drawings and documents. However, the evolution of requirements, such as 2D or 3D CAD, has increased the reliance on digital solutions, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), for efficient information sharing. The use of diverse tools by project managers for data collection, design, and analysis compounds the challenge of interoperability for design vendors in the market. Also, end-use industries exhibit hesitancy in adopting the software due to the necessity for a comprehensive infrastructure overhaul, posing a potential obstacle to market growth. These factors are expected to curtail the global generative design market growth.
