Synopsis of Cambashi Findings

• Future growth in global expenditure on software for technical applications (AEC, GIS, CAD/CAM/CAE, PDM/PLM).
• Demand for technical applications software is set for a marked increase following the predicted slump in 2009.
• Four of the top ten countries are from the emerging nations of South America with China and India maintaining a strong position.
• With government support in Europe and the USA for major infrastructure programmes (e.g. renewable energy), the prospect for growth in this market space is also considered to be good.
