2023: The global interior design software market grew by 6% over the year to reach $7.34 billion
In 2023, the cost of interior design software reached $7.34 billion. This is 6% higher than the result of 2022, when expenses in the relevant area were estimated at $6.92 billion. The industry data is disclosed in the Market Research Future survey published in late November 2024.
One of the drivers of the market in question is the surge in demand for customized and personalized design solutions. Consumers are increasingly looking for unique interiors that reflect their personal preferences. Specialized software helps meet these needs: it not only allows designers to create more attractive and customer-centric spaces, but also increases customer satisfaction. Changes to the created layout can be made in real time, which allows you to clearly demonstrate how certain adjustments will affect the overall style.
Rapid technological progress and the growing adoption of cloud solutions have made interior design software more affordable and efficient. The introduction of artificial intelligence and machine learning has a positive impact on the industry: these tools make it possible to effectively analyze user input, which provides even greater opportunities in terms of configuration and optimization. In addition, AI can independently generate various options for the environment. Overall, AI helps designers automate routine tasks and boost creativity. The integration of augmented (AR) and virtual (VR) reality opens up additional possibilities.
The study authors also point to a shift toward sustainable materials and smart home solutions. This encourages design professionals to use innovative software tools that can simplify the design process while maximizing the functionality of living spaces. The development of remote work and virtual collaboration models has further strengthened the need for comprehensive design software platforms.
Analysts distinguish four key market segments: this is software with support for 3D and 2D, as well as software with AR and VR functions. In 2023, the first of these areas accounted for $2.5 billion. 2D solutions provided sales of $1.75 billion. The contribution of products with AR and VR functions amounted to $2.09 billion and $1 billion, respectively. Cloud solutions are said to be gaining popularity due to a wide range of capabilities and ease of implementation. However, many experts continue to prefer local installations due to their higher reliability and improved control. The key players in the global market are:
- Chief Architect;
- SketchUp;
- Homestyler;
- RenderNation;
- DesignManager;
- CST Studio Suite;
- Autodesk;
- SolidWorks;
- Enscape;
- Bentley Systems;
- 3ds Max;
- Lumion;
- Rhino;
- Vectorworks.;
Geographically, North America leads with costs of $2.85 billion. This is followed by Europe with $2 billion, while the Asia-Pacific region closes the top three with $1.8 billion. South America brought in approximately $0.4 billion. The Middle East and Africa together provided a contribution of about $0.29 billion.
At the end of 2024, revenue on the global interior design software market is estimated at $7.79 billion. Market Research Future analysts believe that in the future, the CAGR (average annual growth rate in complex percentages) will be 6.08%. As a result, by 2032, costs on a global scale could rise to $12.49 billion.[1]
2019: Market size - $3.83 billion
The volume of the global interior design software market in 2019 reached $3.83 billion, according to the analytical company ResearchAndMarkets without specifying the dynamics regarding 2018. Experts only said that sales of this software are on the rise.
The study notes that the number of interior design firms is growing rapidly around the world. Their income is also increasing. So, in 2019, the market for such services on a global scale amounted to $5 billion, an increase of $600 million compared to a year ago.
One of the main factors driving demand for interior design programs, experts consider it possible to reduce paper documentation. In addition, such software helps companies reduce overall costs when developing interior decoration designs using inexpensive tools.
The highest rates of spending on interior design software in 2019 came from products used to design the interior of residential buildings. This happens to affect the growth of the population and the demand for comfortable housing.
According to the researchers, more and more people are attracting firms to design the design of rooms, kitchens, cabinets, etc. This spurs demand for advanced programs used, in particular, augmented and virtual reality, cloud computing, 3D design.
Geographically, the highest growth rates in interior design software spending in 2019 were in the Asia-Pacific region. A tangible upswing could continue at the expense of the Indian and Chinese markets.
The following companies were named the largest manufacturers of interior design software by analysts:
