Summary
Introduction
This review report looks at the market and strategic issues within manufacturing companies with respect to product lifecycle management. It also covers PLM software and the market opportunity for vendors targeting this space.
Scope
- Looks at market pressures such as regulation, consumer demand cycles and M&A activity.
- Considers collaboration, information management and PLM technology.
- Analyzes the current state of the PLM market and provides future predictions and revenue forecasts from 2006 till 2012.
Highlights
Content management is seen as a big area of interest and not just within product lifecycles. Extending the same strategy into product-oriented processes makes sense for manufacturers as it improves customer relations, speeds time taken for maintenance and service and can enhance the time taken to provide replacement parts for a broken product.
Reasons to Purchase
- Understand what's driving manufacturers' product-oriented processes.
- Assess the opportunity to sell PLM technology into the manufacturing industry.

- Summary
- Customer demand cycles shorten as buyers become more aware - and demanding
- Buyers are becoming more aware leading to greater competition in the manufacturing industry
- Manufacturers are seeing customer demand cycles shorten
- Innovate, innovate, innovate - the catch-cry for modern manufacturers
- Regulatory bodies put manufacturers in their sights
- Regulation is hindering manufacturers' efforts to develop better products faster
- The impact of regulation on manufacturing companies is complex
- The presence of regulation varies by industry and region
- The manufacturing landscape continues to evolve through acquisitions and outsourcing
- Acquisitions can impede product development processes as companies seek to leverage synergies
- Outsourcing provides manufacturers with a pleasant option for improving time to market
- MANUFACTURERS LOOK TO COLLABORATE ON AND STREAMLINE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (STRATEGY FOCUS)
- Summary
- Manufacturers are trying to bring in more parties to the collaboration process
- Collaboration is being used to improve time to market
- A wide range of people are involved in product lifecycles
- Outsourcing is providing manufacturers with another option
- Collaboration is increasingly bringing in people from around the world
- Datamonitor believes that collaboration will be one of the key drivers for the manufacturing industry
- Information management is a high priority for manufacturers
- A range of product-oriented information needs to be managed
- Managing information is harder than it sounds
- Discovering data can be the first hurdle, particularly in large manufacturing companies
- The structure of information and data is often highly varied
- There is an increasing number of information associations and dependencies
- The manufacturing landscape is evolving with M&A leading to perpetual information management issues
- A number of core processes can be better supported through intelligent information management
- The issue of information management is one that Datamonitor sees as a long-term challenge
- Implementing product lifecycle management software is an emerging strategy
- PLM focuses on managing a product's entire lifecycle from concept to retirement
- A range of processes are supported and enhanced by PLM technology
- A number of factors will influence a manufacturer's PLM strategy
- Existing xCAD systems will play a large role in the decision process
- A phased approach will be the most likely route taken
- PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY HELPS MANUFACTURERS EVOLVE (TECHNOLOGY FOCUS)
- Summary
- PLM technology is evolving as manufacturers demand more functionality
- SRM processes are becoming an integral part of PLM solutions
- More support for outsourcing continues to be demanded by manufacturers
- PLM vendors are looking to provide support for outsourced product development
- Managing contract manufacturers is a feature that continues to emerge in PLM technology
- Integration with MES systems allows manufacturers to bridge the enterprise to plant-floor divide
- Technical documentation has potential, but needs to 'extend' itself more
- Visualization needs to be carefully developed before being offered to external parties
- In order to reduce time to market, digital manufacturing solutions are emerging
- The PLM industry's dynamics continue to shift as go-to-market strategies alter
- A range of developments have occurred in the PLM space including major M&A activity
- Siemens Automation & Drives acquires UGS, one of the largest PLM vendors
- Dassault Systemes acquires MatrixOne to gain industry expertise and technology
- PTC acquires Itedo to further consolidate its hold on the technical documentation market
- The mid-market is being targeted by PLM vendors yet there remains a lot of work to be done
- Datamonitor predicts more consolidation as the global PLM market continues to grow
- SAP continues to lead mindshare in the PLM space
- The PLM market is growing at a rapid rate, providing lots of opportunity for vendors
- The discrete industry represents the largest opportunity for PLM vendors
- While smaller than discrete, batch manufacturing still provides significant opportunity
- The sector spending the least on PLM software will be process manufacturing
- Global PLM revenues are spread fairly evenly, but North America is the largest market
