Generative artificial intelligence in engineering involves using advanced AI algorithms to autonomously create, optimize, and refine complex engineering designs and solutions by simulating different scenarios and outcomes. This approach enhances design processes, boosts product innovation, optimizes structural integrity, and speeds up the development of efficient and cost-effective engineering solutions.
Key tools and platforms in generative artificial intelligence for engineering include software tools, cloud-based platforms, and application programming interfaces (APIs). Software tools are crucial applications that offer engineers and designers flexible, accessible, and comprehensive functionalities, allowing them to handle tasks from conceptual design to simulation and quality control. These tools support various stages of design and manufacturing, including early-stage conceptual design, detailed design, prototyping, simulation, manufacturing process optimization, and quality control. Generative AI technologies are applied across numerous domains such as design optimization, product development, materials engineering, and structural analysis, serving a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, energy, and construction.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This generative artificial intelligence in engineering market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The generative artificial intelligence (ai) in engineering market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.97 billion in 2024 to $1.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing computational power, increasing focus on ethical considerations, increasing deep learning, increasing investment from venture capital firms, and increasing awareness of ethical implications.
The generative artificial intelligence (ai) in engineering market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growth of educational programs, the development of standards and regulations, the development of fundamental algorithms, educational and research institutions, and growing cross-disciplinary collaboration. Major trends in the forecast period include integration with simulation and testing, advanced automated engineering workflow, integration of virtual prototyping, customizable AI models, and development of smart engineering systems.
The forecast of 37.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Engineering sectors using Generative AI may encounter cost increases due to tariffs on simulation software, CAD-AI platforms, and imported computational systems, delaying R&D projects. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing focus on automation is anticipated to drive the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the engineering market moving forward. Automation involves the use of technologies like machinery, software, or robotics to perform tasks or processes with minimal human intervention. This growing emphasis on automation stems from the need to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, maintain consistent quality, improve safety, and achieve a competitive advantage in an increasingly globalized and data-driven environment. Generative AI contributes to automation in engineering by designing and optimizing complex systems, generating innovative solutions, and automating repetitive tasks, which accelerates the development process and enhances overall efficiency. For example, in April 2024, a report from the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based NGO, indicated that U.S. automotive sales rose by 1% in 2023, coinciding with the installation of 14,678 robots, following a 47% increase in 2022 when 14,472 units were installed. Furthermore, car and component manufacturers accounted for 33% of all industrial robot installations in the U.S. Therefore, the growing emphasis on automation is driving the expansion of generative artificial intelligence in the engineering market.
Leading companies in the generative AI in engineering market are developing advanced solutions, such as AI-enabled platforms, to enhance engineering and design processes. An example is Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, a US-based IT company, which launched Cognizant Flowsource in February 2024.
