PCB Design Software Market to Grow at 12.9% CAGR During 2016-2026
June 21, 2018 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Future Market Insights delivers key insights on the global PCB design software market in a new report titled “PCB Design Software Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2016–2026”. The global PCB design software market is anticipated to grow from $1.4 billion in 2016 to $4.7 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 12.9% in terms of revenue during the forecast period (2016-2026). In this report, the global PCB design software market is tracked in terms of value, and is calibrated to obtain the market revenue estimates.
PCB design software is used by engineers for designing the printed circuit board on a device, using various features that aim to address issues an engineer faces such as those related to signal and power integrity, while designing a PCB and ease the overall designing process. PCB design software is integrated with other related software such as PLM, which helps engineers to better understand designs and layouts of PCBs.
Need to ease the design process and growing complexity of circuits are factors anticipated to drive growth of the global PCB design software market over the forecast period. Growth in the end-user industries are further expected to push the demand for global PCB design software market during the forecast period. However, rapid introduction of new technologies and pirated software are major challenges expected to be faced by market players in the global PCB design software market during the forecast period.
Regional projections
The section - market analysis by region, includes an in-depth country level analysis of all global regions namely, North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Japan and Middle East & Africa, provides market data in terms of value for 2016-2026. In 2015, market in North America region dominated the overall global PCB design software market, followed by the market in Asia Pacific excluding Japan region. The PCB design software market in Asia Pacific excluding Japan region is forecast to expand at the highest CAGR over the forecast period.

Elementary Mr. Watson: Ensuring a Smooth Handoff From PCB Design to Fabrication
03/13/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonAt the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the U.S. men's 4x100-meter relay team had high hopes of winning a medal. The team comprised some of the fastest sprinters in the world, but something went wrong. In a relay, four runners must smoothly pass their baton to the next runner inside a zone on the track. If a runner drops the baton or it’s passed outside the zone, the team risks disqualification. The U.S. team’s pass between the second and third runner was messy, slowing them down. By the time the last runner received the baton, the team had lost too much time. They finished sixth in their heat and didn’t qualify for the final.

TI Introduces the World's Smallest MCU, Enabling Innovation in the Tiniest of Applications
03/12/2025 | PRNewswireTexas Instruments (TI) introduced the world's smallest MCU, expanding its comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MSPM0 MCU portfolio. Measuring only 1.38mm2, about the size of a black pepper flake, the wafer chip-scale package (WCSP) for the MSPM0C1104 MCU enables designers to optimize board space in applications such as medical wearables and personal electronics, without compromising performance.
Speaking the Same Language as Your Fabricator
03/12/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineWe do indeed have a failure to communicate; designers and fabricators often seem to be talking past each other, which can lead to jobs being put on hold. We asked Jen Kolar, VP of engineering for Monsoon Solutions, and columnist Kelly Dack to share their thoughts on ways that we can break down the communication barrier between design and fabrication. As they point out, a design kickoff checklist and a solid review process can be invaluable tools in a designer’s toolbox.
