First Module of the 2016 PLM MAR Report Series
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 2 June 2016—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces the release of the CIMdata 2016 Executive PLM Market Report. This report provides an executive-level view of CIMdata’s comprehensive analysis of the PLM market, with summary charts on the overall market and on specific PLM solution segments (including the chart below). It also includes perspectives on current trends in the PLM industry and how they may affect current suppliers and investments.
While the global economy has limped along since the slump in 2009, the PLM economy, as measured in our PLM market analysis, has continued to grow. In calendar year 2015, the PLM market grew to $38.7 billion overall, 2.8% growth in U.S. dollars over 2014. When looked at in constant currencies (i.e., exchange rates that eliminate the effects of exchange rate fluctuations and that are used when calculating financial performance numbers), CIMdata estimated that the growth rate would be 8.2% over 2014. “The whole basket of currencies in which CIMdata measures PLM revenues was down against the U.S. dollar in 2014,” according to Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Vice President of Research. “Since our analysis is done in U.S. dollars, the currency fluctuations brought down growth in each segment. CIMdata estimates that many segments saw double-digit growth in constant currencies, including collaborative Product Definition management (cPDm) focused applications, digital manufacturing, non-bundled Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), simulation and analysis (S&A), and software development tools.”
