To understand the market share gains and losses better, you’ll want to drill down on some of the other survey analysis such as Share of Mind, Top Features, Top Frustrations, Conversions Rates and Product Strengths and Weaknesses. Cimatron and TopSolid slid strongly versus last year.The other solid gainer versus last year were GibbsCam, which went from #13 to #6 and gained share from 2% to 6%.SolidCAM is holding steadily to #5, where they were last year, though their share is up from 5% to 7%.Their share has gone from 3% to 7%, so apparently they’ve prospered under the Autodesk umbrella, just as Delcam (PowerMill), and HSMWorks have. FeatureCAM a big jump from the #11 position, where they were last year.Powermill moved up from #4 to #3 and went from 5% to 7% share.It’s tough to fight the onslaught of these bigger players, especially the ones under the Autodesk umbrella. Last year’s #3 player was OneCNC with 6% market share, but they have fallen to #10.HSMWorks remains #2, but their share has fallen from 17% to 14%.Mastercam remains the #1 player, though their share has fallen each year from 27% to 22% and now they are at 20%.Here are the overall market shares for the High-End Segment: This market remains highly fragmented with a few large players and many medium and small players. The top 5 players account for about 54% of the High-End Market whereas last year they were 60%. The High-End segment also has the largest number of different packages. In fact, it grew from 47% of last year’s responses to 54% this year. Just like last year, the High-End was the largest part of our survey. Low-End: Thees are inexpensive packages most commonly used by Hobbyists, but as we’ll see, they’re starting to come up-market to the Professional World.Tiered: Modular packages available in a range of configurations that span from the Low-End to the High-End.High-End: More expensive packages with more functionality.We’ve done these CAM surveys in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, and now 2016, so there is historical data to compare against when looking for trends.Īs in the past, we divide the market into 3 segments:
There’s really no other source of information quite like these surveys, so I wanted to get these initial results out as soon as I could. Product Managers at a variety of CADCAM companies, large and small, tell me they find the results very valuable in their own planning. This is quite a large group, and certainly large enough to be statistically significant. I just closed the survey to further entries having gotten several hundred responses.
