PLM Market Sector Sizes in 2013 (US$ Millions)
Based on CIMdata estimates, the PLM market grew 4.8% in 2013 to $35 billion. “The PLM market started strongly in 2013, and then growth tailed off in the second half of the year, replicating the performance of 2012,” according to Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Vice President of Research, “The segment growth rates were much lower in 2013 than in recent years. MCAD revenues were mostly flat in both sub-segments that CIMdata tracks. Even simulation and analysis (S&A), the fastest growing segment over the last few years, grew at a slower rate of 7.1%.”
