Simulation Software Industry Overview
The global simulation software market size was valued at USD 13.25 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach USD 39.74 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.5% from 2022 to 2030
Simulation software is a tool used to virtually create a real-time environment to test the applicability and efficiency of different products and processes. Benefits, such as a reduction in production expenditure and reduced costs of training, are expected to drive the market. Furthermore, simulation tools play a major role in determining the effects of military weapons. They also help automotive companies determine the ideal vehicle prototypes for reducing CO2 emissions.

Simulation software is widely adopted by different companies as it helps reduce production costs. The software helps develop several prototypes and test them virtually. Moreover, it helps realize error-free output in a production process, thereby avoiding the production of faulty products and the respective costs involved. It also helps save time spent on R&D activities. All these factors are expected to fuel the market growth. Conventionally, manufacturers incurred huge costs while prototyping products, which involved complex mechanisms. Despite the availability of prototypes, the chances of failure were high, which incurred additional R&D expenses to reduce such product failures.
Expenses incurred on prototypes and curbing faults of the existing products led to increased pre and post-production costs. In such scenarios, the use of simulation software helps reduce the need for manually testing multiple prototypes to subsequently reduce the chances of product failures. This is encouraging companies to make investments in simulation tools. Manufacturers across the globe are making investments to develop AI-related technologies to cope with the Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) world. Virtual testing techniques are used to test these AI-enabled devices and involve the observation of the behavior of these devices in real-time situations.
The use of the virtual testing method increases the efficiency of a product development process and simultaneously reduces the product development cost. This growing focus on AI devices and products is expected to lead to the adoption of virtual testing tools. Moreover, the industry is witnessing growth owing to the emergence of autonomous vehicles and Electric Vehicles (EVs). Automotive manufacturers are using simulation tools to test the efficiency and effectiveness of these vehicles using real-world situations. They are also using simulation software to meet different industry standards and regulations. In September 2018, BMW Group announced investments of approximately USD 115.0 million to establish a high-fidelity driving simulation center in Munich, Germany.
