The growth in automotive industry creates substantial opportunities for the computational fluid dynamics market as well. According to “Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles”, in 2016, 98.8 million units of vehicles were sold worldwide up from 89.7 million in 2015. This signifies that the CFD market will witness an exponential growth over the forecast period. In addition to this, the increasing R&D investment in aerospace & defense industry provides significant growth opportunity to the global CFD market.
With the development in cloud services, the demand for data centers has also increased significantly. Computational fluid dynamics is generally utilized for thermal modeling in data centers as it helps in identifying areas with lesser air flow. It also offers the 3-D view of cold air movement which helps to provide the cooling in the data center racks. Furthermore, area that is exposed to more cooling than actually required can be easily identified by utilizing CFD. Since CFD is useful for understanding the changes that result from the addition of new hardware, its demand among the end users is projected to rise significantly over the upcoming years.
Market Trends
North America held the largest market share of the global computational fluid dynamics market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period followed by Europe. The high R&D investment in aerospace & defense in the U.S. offers substantial growth opportunity to the CFD market in the region. The U.S. has invested US$ 14.3 billion for R&D in the aerospace & defense industry in 2016. One of the key trends in the Asia Pacific market is the rising use of integrated CFD software that can propel the effectiveness of product development life cycle. Some CFD companies and product lifecycle management have started offering integrated CFD software with some other product lifecycle management tools to enhance the productivity of product development cycle.
