The global engineering design and drafting services market is expected to grow from $4.69bn in 2021 to $5.33bn in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate of 13.6%. The growth is primarily due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact. Earlier, it had led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities resulted in operational challenges.

The drafting services market sells drafting services and related goods by entities that draw detailed layouts, plans, and illustrations of buildings, systems, structures, or components from engineering and architectural specifications. Only goods and services traded between organizations or sold to end consumers are included.
The main types of drafting services include mechanical drafting services, site drafting services for civil engineering projects, architectural drafting services, structural components of buildings drafting services, drafting of as-built drawings, drafting consulting services, and others. For instance, mechanical drafting services develop technical machine drawings and mechanical assemblies for mechanical engineers using blueprints in CAD applications.

The growing demand for CAD services is expected to drive the growth of the drafting services market. Computer-aided design includes designing and drafting goods, objects, or structures using computer technology.

Due to the enormous benefits that CAD provides to real estate developers, interior designers, architects, and consumers, CAD outsourcing has proven particularly relevant in the architecture and building design sector.
Thus, the increasing demand for CAD services drives the growth of the drafting services market. 3D printed buildings are a strong trend gaining popularity in the drafting services market. 3D printers can support the design & construction of a building. This method is more eco-friendly, affordable and time-efficient in printing buildings than other traditional methods.
