CIMdata Releases PLM Market and Solution Provider Report

Third Module of the 2019 PLM MAR Report Series

Aann Arbor, Michigan, 16 July 2019-CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of the CIMdata PLM Market and Solution Provider Analysis Report, the third of five modules of the CIMdata 2019 Market Analysis Report Series. The MAR Series provides detailed information and in-depth analysis on the worldwide PLM market during 2018. It contains analyses of major trends and issues; revenues of leading PLM solution providers; and revenue analyses for geographical regions, industry sectors, and historical and projected data on market growth.

"The PLM market grew to $47.8 billion overall in 2018, 9.4% growth over 2017, greater than our forecast of 7%" according to Mr. Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata's Vice President. "Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) and design-focused mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) saw strong double-digit gains, largely driven by Autodesk's huge growth powered by their move from perpetual licensing to subscription. Simulation and Analysis (S&A) grew 13.1%, surpassing the high growth numbers of recent years. Looking toward 2023, CIMdata forecasts the PLM market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% to $72.4 billion."

Companies make PLM investments in many different areas and with many types of solutions including mechanical CAD, simulation and analysis, visualization and collaboration, building design, and others. This diversity is reflected in the different solution providers to the PLM market and in the fact that no single type of provider dominates the industry. During 2018, a number of providers generated substantial revenues that represent PLM-related investments. Eighteen providers generated PLM revenues in excess of $500 million from both the tools and the cPDm segments. Three solution providers, Dassault Systèmes, PTC, and Siemens PLM Software, are major providers of both tools (such as MCAD) and cPDm technology while others, such as Autodesk and Cadence, are primarily tool providers that focus on specific segments within the overall market. While Hexagon does not position itself as a PLM company, their revenues from businesses that CIMdata does count in PLM puts them in the top 10. It illustrates the breadth of companies that participate in the overall PLM market, even though they may not all compete directly with each other.
