Second Module of the 2022 PLM MAR Report Series
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 7 July 2022—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of the CIMdata PLM Industry Review and Trends Report, the second of five modules of the CIMdata 2022 Market Analysis Report Series. The MAR Series provides detailed information and in-depth analysis on the worldwide PLM market during 2021. It contains analyses of major trends and issues, revenues of leading PLM providers, and revenue analyses for geographical regions, industry sectors, and historical and projected data on market growth.
The 2022 PLM Industry Review and Trends Report focuses on “The Sustainability Imperative.” The planet Earth evolved over billions of years, surviving multiple Ice Ages and natural disasters—meteor impacts, tectonic and volcanic events—before humanity inhabited large swaths of the planet. Humans had little significant impact on the natural world until their numbers, extractive capabilities, and production means evolved.
Today’s Industry 4.0 vision was developed, in part, to address the negative impacts of Industry 3.0 and the eras that preceded it. Much of this degradation results from product creation, logistics, use, and disposal. This precisely maps to CIMdata’s product lifecycle management (PLM) definition. Thus, PLM is essential to a systemic response. Industry 4.0 is inherently a system of systems problem that can leverage the same techniques, methods, processes, and solutions that developing smart, connected products increasingly requires to compete in an Industry 4.0 world.
Leading software and service providers are defining the needed metrics, measurement approaches, and enabling technologies for their industrial clients. CIMdata sees its efforts reflected in the requirements and actions of our industrial consulting clients. Many of those clients are leveraging ideas like the Circular Economy to help ensure minimum environmental impact. Companies need new ways to capture the needed data and measure their results and potential impacts. CIMdata believes that the PLM Economy—the software and services firms that define and enable industrial PLM strategies and implementations—has a key role to play in this global crisis. In this report, CIMdata describes how we got to this point and leverages some primary research with industrial companies and the PLM Economy to understand the drivers for their sustainability efforts and what challenges they face in meeting their sustainability objectives.
This report also provides an update on two important CIMdata initiatives: multi-view bill of material (BOM) and our Enterprise Application Architecture™.
