China Business Information Network: Industrial software refers to software that is specifically used or mainly used in the industrial field to improve the R&D, manufacturing, production management level and industrial equipment performance of industrial enterprises. The application scope of industrial software covers the entire life cycle of the product and all aspects of enterprise production and operation. According to the specific application links, industrial software can be divided into R&D design, operation management, production control and embedded industrial software.
Market size increases
According to the "China Industrial Software Industry White Paper", my country's industrial software growth rate continues to lead the global industrial software market. In 2020, the scale of my country's industrial software industry was 197.4 billion yuan, an increase of 14.77% year-on-year compared with 2019. From 2017 to 2020, the annual compound growth rate of my country's industrial software industry will be 15%, and the domestic market demand for industrial software will become the highlight of the development of the global industrial software market. It is estimated that in 2022, the scale of my country's industrial software market will reach 260.9 billion yuan.

Regional development
From the perspective of the regional structure of China's industrial software market, in recent years, my country has continuously increased its efforts to promote the localization of industrial software, forming a situation where the domestic industrial software market is blooming everywhere, with economically developed regions such as East China and South China as the main one. According to the "China Industrial Software Development White Paper", according to the sales of industrial software, in 2018, the market size of East China in my country accounted for 35.90% and the market size of Central and South China accounted for 25.90%.

Development prospects
1, Good industrial software industry policies
Environmental industrial software As the "brain" of industrial enterprises and the soul of the new generation of information technology industry, it is an invisible "national weapon" that supports national development and innovation. In recent years, my country has successively introduced a series of relevant policies to support the development of industrial software, providing unprecedented opportunities for domestic industrial software, and helping industry enterprises concentrate their efforts to break through business and technical bottlenecks and achieve overtaking on the curve.
2, Domestic independent and controllable solutions usher in historic development opportunities
In June 2021, the "Data Security Law of the People's Republic of China" was officially released. It aims to build a data security governance system with diverse co-governance between the government, industry organizations, scientific research institutions, enterprises and individuals, elevate the highest data security regulatory agency to an unprecedented height of the central national security leadership body, and clearly establish a national data security work coordination mechanism to strengthen the coordination of data security work. The implementation of this law will help increase the demand for domestically produced independent and controllable software. The country attaches great importance to scientific and technological innovation and independent control, and will promote the rapid development of the science and technology industry from various aspects such as system, talents, incentives, finance, market, and capital, creating a huge development prerequisite for domestically produced independent and controllable industrial software.
3, The vast downstream industry space drives the rapid development of the industrial software industry
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China will fully enter the digital economy era. More and more companies will need to achieve precise allocation and efficient docking of information, technology, and production capacity through digital transformation. The effective use of industrial software, as one of the most critical links for enterprises to achieve digitalization, networking and intelligence, will usher in rapid growth in demand. From the overall perspective of the industrial software industry, its downstream applications involve construction, gas, transportation, water conservancy, petrochemical, urban planning, electricity, ships, automobile transportation, machine tools, metallurgy, metals, military industry, machinery, electronic communications, new energy and environmental protection fields. As the degree of digitalization in various fields continues to increase, the demand for industrial software has also gradually increased, driving the coordinated development of the industrial software industry. From the perspective of the CAD software industry in the industrial software segment, with the gradual development of my country's industrial informatization level, the demand for CAD software will gradually increase, thereby promoting the simultaneous development of CAD software, especially the domestic software market.
4 and intellectual property protection efforts have been continuously strengthened to provide a high-quality development environment for the industrial software industry
In August 2020, the State Council issued the "Notice of the State Council on Issuing Several Policies to Promote the High-Quality Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry and Software Industry in the New Era", which proposed "Exploring the Establishment of a Long-term Mechanism for the License of Software. All pre-installed software (including large computers, servers, microcomputers and laptops) sold in China must be genuine software, and computers with pre-installed non-genuine software are prohibited from being sold." In recent years, the state has improved the protection of intellectual property rights by supporting software companies to apply for intellectual property rights in accordance with the law, vigorously developing software-related intellectual property services, and increasing the punishment of infringement and illegal acts. At the same time, it has actively developed and applied genuine software network copyright protection technology, established and improved a long-term mechanism for the genuine work of software genuine, providing domestic software companies with opportunities for genuine alternative development.
