Product design is a new generation course and is getting really popular lately. Talking about the scope, you can expect it to be as high as that of an accountant soon (yes, not joking). The reason is simple because over the time the viewpoint of all businesses has shifted from just profit to profit along with customer satisfaction and the only way one can ensure customer satisfaction is through making it very clear that the focus is majorly on what is being offered to the customer and not what is being received from a customer.
To do so, all the big brands and leading companies are heading forward to hiring people who will design a product so that it fulfills all the dimensions it goes on about; from how it looks to what value it offers. So that is for the scope.
