Industry Overview
Architecture design software market was valued at $4.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2025 to 2035, reaching an estimated $15.2 billion by 2035. Architecture design software market is expanding as a result of urbanization, smart infrastructure demand, and digitalization. The key drivers include increasing construction activities, BIM adoption, sustainable architecture, 3D/VR/AR technologies, remote collaboration, and government regulations for the use of BIM in public infrastructure.
Technological Advances in AR/VR
AR/VR technology advancements improve the capacity for visualization, and their application is required for client presentations and walk-throughs, stimulating market growth and affecting client presentations. In February 2025, Trimble added new visualization and interoperability features to SketchUp, enhancing the 3D modeling software. The software incorporates photorealistic materials and environment lighting features, improved interaction between SketchUp and other programs, and increased interoperability. These features allow designers to design, modify, and work on advanced projects more quickly with less labor and rework. The new visualization features include 360-degree HDRI or EXR image files, dynamic materials, and ambient occlusion.
Increasing Use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Technology
BIM is an electronic procedure that regulates construction or infrastructure data from the inception stage to operational use. BIM uses a model-based 3D system and includes planning, designing, construction, and management functions that prove useful. BIM is a tool used by architectural design programs that provides a visual description of the building form, allowing one to effectively model a design simulation, enhance the construction management process, cost analysis, and structure calculation. Inherent tools such as Autodesk Revit and ArchiCAD enable real-time collaboration, early clash detection, and automation of parametric design. Excluding this, the changeover in the pattern of adoption from 2D to 3D modeling is fueling rising demand for BIM-based products, thus increasing market growth. For example, in October 2024, Siemens introduced BIMPOWER, a plug-in for Autodesk Revit that facilitates the design process for 3D BIM projects. BIMPOWER allows engineers and contractors to convert electrical system requirements into models and react to real-time design feedback. It also allows users to automatically create a bill of materials for all electrical equipment installed in the project, improve estimating productivity, accelerate submittal process times, and view budget pricing and lead times through Siemens' COMPAS quotation tool.
Software Segment to Lead the Market with the Largest Share
The expansion in the software market, fueled by the implementation of AI and machine learning technologies, is accelerating expenditure throughout the construction and architecture sectors. For instance, in January 2025, Motif raised $46 million in seeds and Series A capital from Alphabet's CapitalG and Redpoint Ventures to transform the AEC software market is to be revolutionized through the adoption of Cloud, AI, and 3D technology for architects, engineers, and construction experts.
Architects: A Key Segment in Market Growth
Architectural designing software helps architects convert ideas into exact, detailed plans, improving efficiency and accuracy. It facilitates conceptual design, BIM, structural and performance analysis, rendering and visualization, project documentation, automated design, AI integration, and VR and AR. These applications allow architects to produce high-quality 3D renderings, visualize projects, facilitate collaboration, and maximize space utilization.
The global architecture design software market is divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Government and Regulatory Support for Green Buildings in Asia-Pacific
India's government and regulatory support for green buildings, including Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications, is driving market growth by integrating compliance modules in architecture design software providers. According to the Green Business Certification Inc., in 2024, India's growth in LEED-certified projects was apparent, and LEED for Operations and Maintenance (O+M) dominated with 153 projects. Then came LEED for Interior Design and Construction (ID+C) with 102 projects, followed by LEED for Building Design and Construction (BD+C) with 61 projects. Notable certifications in LEED v4.1 O+M were 57 locations of Dmart. The year additionally witnessed Grade A office space taking the lead among sector expansion with 455 projects covering 185 million square feet, followed by retail, industrial manufacturing, housing, and hotel sectors with 80, 71, 33, and 22 projects respectively, and covering considerable square footage.
North America Region Dominates the Market with Major Share
North America holds a significant share, owing to the US market due to which US market experiencing growth as a result of the growing emphasis on energy-efficient building structures, improved material use, and environmental impact studies. For instance, in February 2024, Autodesk launched Autodesk Informed Design, a cloud-based product that integrates design and manufacturing workflows to simplify the building design and construction process. The product enables architects to collaborate on customizable, pre-defined building products, allowing manufacturers to share their products with design stakeholders. Informed Design is part of Autodesk's Design and Make Platform environment, which aims to transform the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry by applying manufacturing principles to the built environment. It’s available as a free add-in for two of Autodesk's industry solutions: Autodesk Informed Design for Revit and Autodesk Informed Design for Inventor. The tools enable seamless collaboration, powerful building information modeling content creation, and streamlined product documentation.
The major companies operating in the global architecture design software market include Autodesk Inc., Bentley Systems Inc., Dassault Systèmes S.E., Siemens AG, Graphisoft SE, and Trimble Inc., among others. Market players are leveraging partnerships, collaborations, mergers and acquisition strategies for business expansion and innovative product development to maintain their market positioning.
