Among the CAD market in the world, 2D cad market is mature after a development of more than 20 years. And the famous CAD providers in the world have put 3D cad development in a high position. The 3D cad techniques have been prosperous, and it is widespread at the moment..
However, for the Chinese CAD market, though the world-famous CAD software companies is still taking up the high end of the cad design market, the Chinese CAD software companies have expanded and taken up a big CAD market share on 2D cad. Meeting the users’ demand is the key factor to impel the growth of the 2D CAD market. 
It is a famous saying in the IT field, software as a service (SaaS), the Chinese CAD software providers have been devoted to built a wonderful service team. A reasonable price plus a good quality and service enable the Chinese CAD providers win the trust and support of the CAD users:
Since the 2D cad software cad solve the problem basically, why wasting the money to buy a high cost 3D cad program? 
Though there is still a huge market space to develop, the 2D cad software companies do not have a bright future as we can expected. There are already some problems in the 2D industry; the technology is comparatively easy to access, and there is a furious competition. It is difficult for the 2D cad software companies to obtain their superiority in the competition and to get high rewards for the investment. Besides, it is a big distance for them to develop the 3D technology, not only for the cost, but also on the technology. Based on the user’s demand, the 2D cad software companies explore the market gradually. How would they develop in the near future, let’s wait and see what happens.

For example ShortCAD is 2D CAD for Pocket PC, is there any need of 3D in such devices? (http://www.shortcad.com)ShortCAD2008-11-26 15:26:07
