ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 16 August 2016—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of the CIMdata 2016 China PLM Market Analysis Report.
This two-volume report provides detailed information and in-depth analysis on the People’s Republic of China’s (“China”) rapidly-evolving PLM market for calendar year 2015. They discuss the major PLM trends and issues, PLM purchase investments in software and services, PLM adoption in various industry sectors, and market growth forecasts that pertain to China; an important and quickly expanding economic region. The private volume also provides insight into PLM market dynamics within the region and the revenue performance of the leading PLM solution providers operating within it, both China-based and international PLM solution providers headquartered elsewhere. The private volume reports on revenues attributable to various PLM solution providers in the Chinese market. These reports are a joint collaborative effort of CIMdata and China-based e-works Research (http://www.eworksglobal.com/ in English and http://www.e-works.net.cn in Chinese).
The CIMdata China PLM Market Analysis Report is delivered in two parts:
- The “China PLM Market Analysis Report Private Data” volume focuses on the results of the leading providers in the overall PLM market in China and in selected segments and industries. All information contained in the China report are CIMdata’s estimates.
- The “China PLM Market Analysis Report Public Data” volume focuses on the Chinese economy and the overall PLM market, including some qualitative information about leading PLM solution and service providers in China.
Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata Vice President of Research said, “In CIMdata’s measurement the global PLM market only grew 2.8% in 2015, but in constant currencies growth was 8.2%, consistent with the Chinese market. In 2016 the growth rate of the Chinese Mainstream PLM market is forecasted to be 12.5%.” Chinese industries that are heavily investing in PLM include aerospace, automotive, high-tech electronics, and mechanical machinery. The following chart illustrates the growth and size of the China PLM market for the past 2 years and projects growth through 2020.
Global PLM solution providers continue to invest in China and are expanding their partner networks and growing their customer bases. The leading international PLM solution providers including Dassault Systèmes, PTC, and Siemens PLM Software are all showing continued growth in China, but local firms are growing as well. “Local Chinese solution providers are starting to gain real market share,” stated Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s President. “We had strong attendance at our fifth annual China PLM Market & Industry Forum from both local solution providers and mainstream international providers. These Chinese competitors are closer to their local market and are expanding their offerings into new segments, a good sign for the vitality of the Chinese PLM market,” he added. “We are also getting traction with our global PLM Certificate classes in China, delivered by our local partners. This shows that industrial companies are seeing the value to be gained by adopting PLM strategies and enabling technologies.”
This report reflects the trend that Chinese manufacturers are paying more and more attention to product innovation and are rapidly improving their own R&D capabilities and processes by deploying PLM, not only in traditional discrete industries, but also in life sciences, food & beverage, and several emerging vertical markets.
CIMdata designed these reports to be a valuable source of information to support the business and market planning processes of PLM solution providers that are targeting China, as well as industrial companies within China who would like to understand the PLM competitive landscape.
