Since 2018, China's per capita GDP has reached USD 10,000, marking a watershed moment for the country's industry and economy — innovation has become the primary driving force for further economic development.
Under the dual superposition of production control rights gradually shifting from hardware to software, and industrial knowledge increasingly embedded in software code, industrial software — as the core means of production and key productivity driver for new-type industrialization — becomes ever more critical. The significance of achieving independent control over industrial software is becoming increasingly prominent, and its development is both urgent and necessary.
Therefore, with the gradual maturity of cloud-native technologies and the prevalence of “large model +” approaches, it is highly relevant to study the current state of industrial software development.
Based on the macro environment in which industrial software currently operates, this report analyzes the overall situation of the industrial software industry, the objective laws behind its slow growth, and the impact of emerging technology variables on the industry. Finally, it provides an outlook on the future direction of the industrial software industry, market, and product development.

Core Industry Insights
Urgency & Necessity: Industrial software is the core production asset for new-type industrialization. Against the backdrop of global value chain restructuring, achieving independent control has become a critical proposition for China's manufacturing upgrade.
Slow business & emerging variables: The industrial software industry has an inherent “slow” characteristic — high technological barriers and long industrial knowledge accumulation cycles. However, cloud-native, AI large models, and industrial APPs are reshaping development models and competitive landscapes.
Domestic substitution path: R&D/design software faces severe “bottlenecks,” but policy incentives and downstream demand (new energy vehicles, high-end equipment, etc.) are accelerating domestic substitution.
Capital market implications: Companies must balance long-term R&D investment with short-term commercial validation, exploring rational value anchoring and financing strategies.
Technology Variables & Future Directions
Cloud-native impact: R&D/design software (CAD/CAE) architectures are moving to the cloud, enabling collaborative design and elastic computing — represented by products like Onshape and CrownCAD, lowering on-premise deployment barriers.
AI & industrial large models: Large models are accelerating code generation, intelligent simulation, and process optimization. Industrial knowledge graphs combined with generative AI will reshape human-computer interaction and design efficiency.
Industrial APP ecosystem: Lightweight, scenario-specific industrial APPs lower the digital barrier for SMEs and give rise to new business models; channel distributors are transforming into solution service providers.
Enterprise value shift-left: From focusing on production execution to empowering R&D and innovation, full lifecycle project management (e.g., EasyTrack platform) becomes key to enhancing core competitiveness.
Expert Enterprise Practices (Selected)
Vayo Technology: Focuses on electronics manufacturing industrial software, providing full-process digital solutions from design to production.
EasyTrack: One-stop project digital operation and management platform, helping large technology groups achieve full lifecycle R&D project management and improve resource utilization.
Zhiyi Technology: Next-generation CFD simulation software based on high-precision algorithms breaking foreign monopolies.
AcoreOS (Yihui Information): Domestic embedded real-time operating system and intelligent industrial software foundation, supporting autonomous operation of critical equipment.
