The product life cycle management plm it market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The IT market for product life-cycle management (PLM) has seen robust growth in recent times. Forecast figures suggest an increase from $24.6 billion in 2024 up to $26.56 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%.
This upward trajectory can be attributed to several factors, including enhancements in product operations, a marked rise in data generation and management, adherence to regulatory norms, safety focus, innovation in smart products, and a demand for comprehensive platforms.
The product life cycle management plm it market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the PLM IT market is predicted to witness substantial growth, with an expected worth of $34.09 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.4%.
This anticipated growth can be ascribed to several factors such as the growing need for self-driving cars, increased use of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), an escalated demand for cloud-based solutions, the need for Mechanical Computer Aided Design (MCAD) and Electronic Computer Aided Design (ECAD), along with increasing demand for product-user integration. Future trends that may contribute to growth during the forecast period encompass technological innovations, the incorporation of IoT into PLM solutions, the rise of technologically advanced solutions, initiatives for digital transformation, and the increased usage of IoT in the production of intelligent automobiles.
The augmentation in the utilization of digital transformation is likely to fuel the progress of the product lifecycle management (PLM) IT market in the future. Digital transformation involves the thorough assimilation of digital technologies, practices, and plans in every department of a firm. This transformation is gaining popularity due to numerous factors, such as technological progression and a heightened awareness of its advantages across diverse sectors. Digital transformation improves product lifecycle management (PLM) IT by smoothly merging design, production, and maintenance protocols for competent and combined product growth at each phase of product evolution. As an example, Whatfix, an Indian SaaS-based digital adoption platform stated in October 2023 that the global IT expenditure is anticipated to touch $5 trillion in 2024, showing an 8.6% surge from 2023. This expansion underlines the escalating precedence companies are giving to digital technologies to refine operations and adjust to changing market needs. Hence, the surging application of digital manufacturing is pushing the advancement of the product lifecycle management (PLM) IT market.
