Product Lifecycle Management Market by Deployments (Cloud-based and On-premise), Software (Quality & Compliance Management; Simulation, Testing, & Change Management; Manufacturing Operations Management; Portfolio Management; Design & Engineering Management; and Others), End-users (Retail, Semiconductor & Electronics, IT & Telecom, Industrial Equipment & Heavy Machinery, Automotive & Transportation, Healthcare, and Aerospace & Defense), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021 – 2028

The global product lifecycle management market size was valued at USD 25.90 billion in 2020 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the combination of the latest technologies for instance, virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial internet of things, and additive manufacturing with product lifecycle management solutions.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) is the process of handling a product as it progresses through the stages of development including introduction/launch, growth, constancy, and decline of products. PLM helps to arrive effective decision-making ranging from pricing and promotion to expansion or cost-cutting as the service provides a clear picture of products’ conditions and popularity. This process aids both manufacturing and marketing process of the finished goods. It helps in the quick identification of sales opportunities and revenue contributions by providing accurate forecasting to reduce material costs and minimize operation waste. PLM entails real-time information management throughout the product’s entire lifecycle with the help of enhanced software. The introduction of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled PLM solutions has helped to product development and delivery with quality management during the post-manufacturing phase. IoT-compatible software identifies any early signs of failure of a particular part of the product and is expected to be utilized to gain deeper insights into the product development process, which generate large volumes of actionable data.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has encouraged businesses to ensure business continuity and to choose cloud technology to facilitate remote working. Numerous businesses have started implementing cloud-based services and PLM software providers are forestalling their customers to aggressively select for cloud migration.
