There is an increased focus on Digital Engineering in verticals such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and industrial to drive operational efficiencies and enhance customer experience. This is also enabling alternative revenue streams for enterprises. This continued focus on Digital Engineering across verticals will boost related spend at a CAGR of 17% through the next 5 years and Digital Engineering spend will grow from a current USD 293 Bn in 2018 to touch USD 642 Bn by 2023.
Zinnov also shared that, Digital Engineering is also being seen as a means to "Renew the old" and "Build the new" by R&D spenders. However, transformation through Digital Engineering is not easy as there are challenges associated with legacy complexities, change management, cannibalization concerns, etc. These challenges, however, are translating to sizeable opportunities for the ER&D Service Provider community. R&D spenders are leveraging ER&D Service Providers to "manage the old" by means of large product and GIC carve-out programs, "renew the old" through modernization, and "build the new" to enhance their products/services portfolio.
Speaking about the findings, Pari Natarajan, CEO, Zinnov, said, "Even though Traditional Enterprises have been increasing Digital Spend, only Tech Mafias have been successful with Digital Innovation, until now. Traditional enterprises need to use a multi-pronged strategy to combat the disruption and transform simultaneously. They need to embrace iterative product innovation, extreme agility, continuous learning collaboration - internal and external and also create highly collaborative environments. This will help drive transformation in a definitive way."
On Service Providers building Digital Engineering capabilities, Pari added, "Service Providers need to invest along multiple dimensions such as infrastructure, ecosystem connects, IP, talent, etc., to build Digital Engineering capabilities to drive competitive differentiation. Those Service Providers who focus on embedding digital technologies with digital outcomes and build deep capabilities to drive transformational change will succeed."
