The global PCB Design Software market size was US$ 613 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 887 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
PCB (printed circuit board) design software is used to design printed circuit board. PCB (printed circuit board) is a self-contained module of interconnected electronic components found in devices ranging from common beepers, or pagers, and radios to sophisticated radar and computer systems.
The circuits are formed by a thin layer of conducting material deposited, or "printed," on the surface of an insulating board known as the substrate.
As an important part of EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software, PCB (printed circuit board) design software is widely used in many industries like electronic industry. The most used functions of PCB design software are drawing schematics and PCB layout. Functions like auto routing, editing component, importing/exporting feature and simulated analysis are also available in some advanced software.
In the market, mass users are using pirated software, especially in China. Some companies will also push out free software with limited function to expand their market. In this report, the data we supplied is just referred to the sales of copyrighted software, not including the pirated software and free software. For companies, the revenue can be divided into two parts, the software revenue (sales for the software) and service revenue (sales for related service).
