Cloud computing technology is becoming popular among organizations because it offers huge space for data storage, provides flexibility, and enables scalability. Hence, several plant design and engineering application software vendors have started developing cloud-based solutions. This pay-per-use model of plant design suites reduces the overall cost of software adoption. Moreover, several users can remotely access cloud-based plant design software solutions at any time and in any place. Furthermore, cloud-based plant design software can be scaled up more easily in terms of features. Hence, many vendors are developing cloud-based plant design and engineering applications suites to meet the demands of end-users."

According to the report, increasing demand from developing countries is one of the major drivers in the market. Many process manufacturing industries such as the Pharmaceutical industry are growing at a fast rate in many developing countries such as China, India, Brazil, and Poland.
