- The CIMdata 2014 PLM Industry Review and Trends Report is mainly qualitative in nature, and focuses on key issues facing the global PLM ecosystem of solution providers and end user organizations. It highlights changes that occurred in 2013, what effects those changes may have in the short and medium term, and what is on the horizon in the years to come.
- The CIMdata 2014 PLM Market and Solution Provider Analysis Report details measures of and forecasts for the overall PLM market and its key segments, including Tools, cPDm, and Digital Manufacturing. The Tools section has additional details on sub-segments, including MCAD, NC, S&A, EDA, and AEC. It also includes CIMdata’s estimates of PLM solution provider revenues in these segments and sub-segments for 2014 through 2018.
- The CIMdata 2014 PLM Market Geographic Analysis Report provides an additional view of the 2013 market results, by major geography. CIMdata’s 2013 estimates and market forecasts for 2014 through 2018 for PLM and the major PLM market segments are provided for the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. In addition, the report includes estimates and forecasts for the cPDm segment within specific European and Asia-Pacific countries and regions.
- The CIMdata 2014 PLM Market Industry Analysis Report provides an industry segmentation view of the 2013 market results. CIMdata’s 2013 estimates and market forecasts for 2014 through 2018 for PLM and cPDm are provided for eight different industry sectors: aerospace and defense; automotive and other transportation; electronics/telecommunications; fabrication and assembly; process-packaged goods; process—petrochemical; utilities; and construction, infrastructure and shipbuilding.
During 2013, all major geographies continued their recovery from the global recession. CIMdata forecasts a continued rebound to growth in all major regions during the five-year forecast period, with Asia-Pacific growing above the overall PLM average.
The Americas region is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% to reach $16.4 billion in 2018. EMEA and AP will have CAGRs of 4.9% and 7.2% respectively. EMEA will grow to $15.3 billion and AP will reach over $14.5 billion in 2018.
“North America and Western Europe are both mature markets,” states Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata VP of Research. “Growth in these markets is being driven by the expansion of the PLM footprint in larger companies, adoption by small and mid-market companies, and penetration of new industries, (e.g., financial services, consumer packaged goods, and food and beverage). Asia-Pacific, particularly in China and India, is adopting PLM in all major sectors and this drives the higher-than-average growth. Eastern Europe (including Russia) offers the opportunity for above-average growth in EMEA. South America is in the early adoption phase and has a smaller industrial base than other regions.”
The CIMdata PLM Market Analysis Report Series is available as a five-module set or each module can be purchased separately. It is also available as part of the CIMdata PLM Community Gold Membership. Further details and pricing information about the report and Community Memberships are available at www.CIMdata.com.
