The main benefits of adopting CAD are well-recognised. For many organisations operating in the KBB sector, design software is at the very heart of the sales operation - helping businesses to sell to their customers. Further benefits include operational efficiencies through automated pricing and ordering and links to business process and management solutions.

The KBB sector and therefore the market for CAD, is clearly influenced by the state of the wider economy. Throughout 2009, there has been a surge of entrepreneurial activity as people with design and sales experience in the industry have found themselves in a position to set up their own companies, with many recognising the need for CAD. Established retail and manufacturing and merchant businesses have long-since recognised the benefits to their sales process in presenting their sales prospects with professional 3D visualisations of the room design and corresponding quotations. Homeowners are also increasingly aware of the widespread use of CAD. Many expect or even demand 3D visualisations if they are considering investing in a new kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or study and this in turn has fuelled the demand for design software. Further demand has been driven by a number of the larger organisations in the sector actively seeking to improve their sales process and overall efficiency by investing in new CAD solutions that can be easily customised to suit their business operation.

There is no shortage of technological advancement within the CAD arena, in line with increased hardware options and capability, enhancements in realistic 3D rendering options, advancements in presentation and CAD output format options. And the leading CAD vendors appear to be responding with more innovations to help their customers to sell and optimise efficiency.
