The growth in the historic period can be attributed to technological advancements, growing demand for sustainable design solutions, increasing complexity in design requirements, rising adoption of additive manufacturing, and expanding application areas in various industries.

The generative design software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.33 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with artificial intelligence and machine learning, emergence of cloud-based generative design platforms, heightened focus on product customization and personalization, growing demand for efficient resource utilization in design processes, expansion of generative design applications in the architecture and construction industry. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-driven optimization, multi-disciplinary collaboration tools, increased automation in design iteration, enhanced sustainability metrics integration, and augmented reality (AR) for real-time design evaluation.

The growing deployment of cloud-based solutions is expected to drive the expansion of the generative design software market. Cloud-based solutions refer to software, services, or resources hosted and accessed remotely via the Internet, offering scalability, flexibility, and accessibility from any device with an Internet connection. The rise in the adoption of cloud-based solutions is driven by the demand for scalability, cost-efficiency, flexibility, and accessibility, enabling businesses to adapt to changing technological needs and improve operational efficiency. Cloud deployment for generative design software provides scalable computing power and facilitates collaborative design processes, enabling rapid iteration and optimization of complex designs. For example, a June 2024 report by AAG IT Services, a UK-based computer and services provider, revealed that AWS led the cloud infrastructure market in early 2022, with a 33% market share, followed by Microsoft Azure at 22% and Google Cloud at 10%, while other providers held the remaining 35%. Public cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) revenue reached $111 billion that year. Additionally, the global cloud market is expected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated $376.36 billion by 2029. By 2025, it is projected that the global cloud will store a massive 200 zettabytes (or 2 billion terabytes) of data. In 2022, 60% of corporate data was stored in the cloud, a figure that is expected to increase as cloud solutions continue to be widely adopted. Therefore, the rising deployment of cloud-based solutions is driving the growth of the generative design software market.

Key players in the generative design software market are honing their focus on crafting software embedded with cutting-edge technologies like 3D voxel display and voxel-based geometry kernel technology to elevate design process efficiency and precision. Voxel-based geometry kernel technology operates on a volumetric object representation, where each voxel denotes a point in a three-dimensional grid, while 3D voxel display technology visualizes three-dimensional objects using voxels. For instance, in June 2022, Hyperganic Group GmbH, a Germany-based entity specializing in generative design software and additive manufacturing solutions, introduced Hyperganic Core 3, the latest iteration of its algorithmic design software. This version integrates advanced AI technology for automated design workflows. Hyperganic Core leverages a bespoke geometry kernel employing 3D voxels, with a significant portion of the platform coded in Assembly, a low-level programming language. This approach ensures proximity to hardware and optimization across diverse processor architectures. Hyperganic Core 3 employs state-of-the-art GPU techniques for real-time display of each object particle, facilitating precise and intricate object depiction.
