Market Data for the Engineering Software Industry
In-depth market intelligence and analysis for the engineering software industry, either in the form of licensed data services or custom consultancy projects.
Cambashi Observatories – market size, share and forecast
The Cambashi Market Observatories are a truly unique set of consistent and multi-perspective datasets. They provide detailed information on software spend by country, industry and product, and on the size of user communities, for a range of software types.
Executives rely on Cambashi for qualified, impartial intelligence to support strategic planning and align internal resources, capabilities, and product planning.
Each data set provides a different way of measuring the use of engineering software in the industry and can be used in combination to support business planning at global, regional, and local levels.
Engineering Software Markets Customised Datasets
Our projects are tailored to reflect each unique client requirement, whether in specific sectors, application areas, or geographies.
Access to all of Cambashi’s datasets is flexible. Clients can focus their view of the data on the most important details by limiting the scope – either geographically (i.e. only including countries of interest) or by industry sector, or even by product/provider.

Cambashi Product / Country / Industry (PCI) Database
The Product / Country / Industry (PCI) database is a superset of multiple databases, allowing customers to tailor the data to support their individual planning requirements by creating customised extracts. The database includes all the vendors and products of the BIM, CAx, PLM, and GIS observatories detailed above, as well as some visualization products.
Revenues are segmented by country, as well as by industry sector (100+ sectors), and type of software (e.g. BIM, GIS etc.). The database covers 60 providers covering 132 products and monitors private companies that comprise the long tail of the market (1000+ providers).
