Abstract
Based on a series of interviews carried out in 2018 with experienced European engineers and a workshop with Product development experts from over twenty leading Swedish company and academics researching and teaching product development, trends and their expected impact on engineering design can be identified. While engineering design practise in 2040 will in many ways be like today, several clear trends for the next 20 years are already visible and are likely to grow stronger.
