This research aimed to analyze research trend of CAD Area by surveying CAD-related articles published in five major academic journals on fashion published in Korea. As a result, the number of CAD-related articles has increased recently, especially after the year 2000 (taking 52% of total papers), followed by development of computer industry.
In terms of journal, Korean Fashion Journal dominated the other four journals by taking 51% shares of total CAD-related articles.
CAD-related articles were on average 2.1% of total articles published in all the five journals, which meant a small portion of fashion research as yet.

In terms of research method, experimental research amounted to 73%, followed by survey method (18%) and literature survey (9%), while recently literature survey increased and survey method increased in trend.
24% of total publications, mostly focusing on CAD program and pattern CAD, has obtained financial support, which was higher than other fashion related area.
To wrap up, this research showed the rapidly developing trend in CAD area, but highly concentrating on body measurement and pattern CAD. An example for promising future research area could be CAD-education. More detailed further research of this theme is expected to continue in the near future.
