Drafting Services in the US

Humans increasingly replaced by computers

Although this industry is forecast to record moderate growth, it is also expected to face a number of challenges. There is a growing trend for firms to employ skilled in-house drafters, eliminating the need to subcontract industry participants. Labor-saving computer aided design and drafting technology (CAD) is increasingly replacing traditional services. Exportation is not the answer to improving revenue as industry services are available in all export markets, often at a much lower cost.
