Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

PCB Design Software Market size was valued at USD 3.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 3.9 billion by 2037, expanding at around 1.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of PCB design software is evaluated at USD 3.17 billion.

The market growth is primarily attributed to the increasing applications of PCB in the electronics industry. For instance, on March 2023, U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that both countries would provide funding to boost the North American manufacturing of essential technologies, including semiconductors. The deal set aside USD 52 million for the manufacturing of PCBs as well as action to increase domestic PCB production under the Defense Production Act (DPA).

The sales of products such as smartphones, consumer appliances, and others have also witnessed massive growth. As a result, there is a rise in demand for PCB design software which is used to print circuit boards for use in these consumer devices. Besides this, the PCB design software allows engineers to efficiently design a circuit board which helps to address the abnormalities associated while manufacturing a product. PCB design software is most often used by engineering firms and teams that may be involved with product development, and enhance the growth of the PCB design software market, by growing the production of the devices.

PCB Design Software Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Increasing Demand for Smart Technologies– PCB design software is used with smart technology to enable more efficient production of printed circuit boards. The software reduces the possibility of errors leading to PCB errors, defects, etc. For instance, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) demand for semiconductors remained strong, with year-over-year sales growth across all major geographic markets and product categories. SIA represents roughly two-thirds of non-U.S. chip companies and 99% of the U.S. semiconductor industry's revenue.
  • Increasing Demand for HDI and Ultra HDI PCBs – High-density interconnects (HDI) PCBs are smaller and lightweight than other PCBs and offer high-speed and reliable signals. Furthermore, they have improved wiring density and lower smaller trace widths, which offer engineers to stuff more power and functionality into little space. This feature enables fewer layers in the PCB stack and high-speed signal transmission, reducing production expenses. Whereas ultra HDI PCBs are denser than HDI having a dielectric thickness and isolation clearances down to 50 µm, micro via diameter below 75 µm, and product characteristics that exceed the current IPC 2226 level C standard.
  • Next-Generation Solutions with Cloud PCB Design Software – The cloud-based PCB design software offers all the advantages of cloud technology and makes the work of PCB designers more accurate and reliable. For instance, in April 2022, KLA Corporation launched Frontline Cloud Services, a software solution that accelerates design for manufacturing (DFM) analysis and time-to-market (TTM) for complex printed circuit boards (PCBs). The difficulty of designing exceedingly complicated PCBs is addressed by this new cloud-based SaaS service, an industry breakthrough.

Challenges

  • Wide Presence of Open-Source PCB Design Software – Open-source PCB design software can pose several significant challenges - from unexpected costs and steep learning curves to complex compatibility issues. The majority of open-source vulnerabilities are caused by erroneously designed code that has gaps in it that an attacker might exploit to commit crimes like stealing confidential information or breaking a system.
  • Rapid Introduction of New Technologies
  • Use of pirated software and a lack of skilled personnel

PCB Design Software Segmentation

Component (Solution, Services)

The solution segment in the PCB design software market is poised to garner the largest revenue during the forecast period. PCB design software helps speed up the design process by using pre-made designs included with the software. This will cut down on design time significantly, which will speed up product delivery. PCB design software is most commonly used by engineering businesses and product development teams. PCB design software is frequently included in systems that also include general-purpose CAD software and software for designing products and machines. The mechanical construction of a PCB may incorporate sophisticated components. Consequently, there is a growing need for PCB design software that may make the process of creating PCBs simpler, quicker, more affordable, and more effective. For instance, the US-based software company Altium Limited planned to launch Nexar in April 2021. Nexar is a cloud-based platform that would link PCB design software and component manufacturers.  

Deployment Mode (On-premises, Cloud)

The on-premises PCB design software market is expected to witness the highest growth. The growth is attributed to on-premises PCB Design Software as it has been the conventional method of deploying services across numerous businesses; matter of fact, as the digital transmission of data increases, so does the potential for data intrusion.
