KEY INSIGHTS:
-
Adoption across the Early Concept & Feasibility stage remains limited with most organizations still testing solutions rather than fully committed. Test Fit Technology shows the strongest traction with 42.9% of respondents using it on several or more projects.
- Generative Design carries notably higher uncertainty than the other listed technologies. 28.6% of respondents are unsure of their organization's use of Generative Design, a meaningfully higher rate than Test Fit or DDP/Smart Design. This points potentially to either lower internal visibility or to genuinely earlier-stage exploration.
- Compared with 2025, the market has shifted toward more active testing and experimentation, particularly for Test Fit and DDP/Smart Design, while widespread, full-scale adoption remains limited across all three technologies.
