This was our second largest category having received 32% of the responses. These are the packages that Hobbyists and “Prosumers” (low-end business + high-end hobbyist) thrive on because their price points are relatively low. Like the High-End, more insights are possible by looking at some of the other reports. The forces at work here are not consolidation but changing positions based on overall momentum. In 2014 the Top 3 players in this segment had 78% of the segment. That’s not that big a share change for them. Mecsoft’s family of products fell from #2 place (22%) to #4 place 20%.Vectric moved from #4 (17% share) to #3 with 24% share.SprutCAM fell from #1 to #2 place going from 38% share to 27%.


To understand the market share gains and losses better, you’ll want to drill down on some of the other survey analysis such as Share of Mind, Top Features, Top Frustrations, Conversions Rates and Product Strengths and Weaknesses. Notable share losers were GibbsCAM, SurfCAM, Catia, and Pro/E. Below the Top 5, Edgecam, Alphacam, Esprit, TopSolid, and Hypermill all made good gains in market share.Apparently the merger with Autodesk has been a good idea for the product. Powermill and Solidcam are tied for the #4 and #5 places, but Solidcam has lost a little overall share while Powermill is coming on pretty strongly.OneCNC is hanging in at the same #3 position and even picked up some share, moving from 6% to 8%.These are the full-featured versions that integrate with Solidworks and Inventor. Note that this is not the inexpensive Fusion 360 version. HSMWorks has made stunning gains-moving from #5 and 5% share to #2 and 17% share.NX fell from #2 to #6 and is no longer in the Top 5.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.
