Mastercam remains the #1 player and even gained share-moving from 22% to 27%.

Here are the highlights of 2015 relative to the 2014 results: The market is indeed gradually consolidating. There are still a great many players, but the Top 5 account for 5% of the market while in 2014 the Top 5 were 51%. There had been predictions of consolidation, but consolidation was not apparent in the data. The High End was the largest part of our survey and accounted for 47% of adoptions.įor our 2014 Survey, we remarked that the High-End CAM Software Market was crowded, fragmented, and somewhat confusing.

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’ll be doing one every year from now on–the market is just changing too quickly to look only every other year. We’ve just completed our 4th CAM Software Market Share Survey, and the results are fascinating.
