"The global PLM market grew strongly in 2016," states Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata Vice President, and research lead. "The leading PLM solution providers are consolidating their portfolios after years of acquisitions, and increasing revenues in 2016, in part, by expanding their footprints at their existing clients. Industrial companies are using PLM to enable highly collaborative, distributed, flexible design and manufacturing environments to help better manage the entire product or plant lifecycle. This ability is critical to all industries and only becomes more complex as smart, connected products must act as parts of larger systems."
