Are you asking for percentage of the CAD market that uses Onshape? Enlyft and Stintel says 271 & 154 companies respectively or 0.06% of the computer-aided design & engineering market uses Onshape (with data going back as much as 2 years from 2021-11).

Just for fun, I thought I’d look at two CAD programs that are in a different category or field then that of mechanical CAD.

According to Wikipedia, ArchiCAD has a user base of over 120,000

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchiCAD

If you go to Vectorworks website, they state that there are over 685,000 users of their product

https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/company

So what does Enlyft say about these two companies / products ?

Well for one thing, they say — “We have data on 4,174 companies that use Graphisoft ArchiCAD”

For another thing, they say — “We have data on 112 companies that use Vectorworks”

Now I’m obviously not gonna use a company like Enlyft to get ratios of how many users there are of one product in comparison to another product

I think it’s safe to say your opportunities are getting better and better all the time

There are over 2 million users of Onshape right now

Does anyone have a sense of the number of Edu users vs Pro?

Short term it's only so impressive if a lot of the new users are free Edu seats, but long term it will drive industry use if the people who learn CAD on Onshape continue to develop their skills and want to use it for professional work.
