looked at in constant currencies, that growth rate would be 8.2% over 2014.”


Most of the PLM market leaders had strong growth in constant currencies, and all continued to make strategic


acquisitions to expand their portfolios and, in some cases, to enter new markets, Przybylinski said. “Looking toward 2020, CIMdata forecasts the PLM market to grow at a com- pound annual growth rate [CAGR] of 6.3% to $52.3 billion,” Przybylinski said.

Companies make PLM investments in many types of solutions includ- ing mechanical CAD, simulation and analysis, visualization and collaboration, building design, and others, Przybylins- ki noted, and this diversity is reflected in the fact that no single type of provider dominates the industry. In 2015, a larger number of providers generated substantial revenues that represent PLM-related investments, with 16 suppliers generating PLM revenue in excess of $500 million from both the tools and the cPDm segments, Przy- bylinski said. “Three solution providers, Dassault Systèmes, PTC, and Siemens PLM Software, are major providers of both tools and cPDm technology,” he noted, “while others, such as Autodesk and Mentor Graphics, are primarily tool providers that focus on specific seg- ments within the overall market.”


Speeding Product Designs Working with automotive designers on Formula 1 racing teams helped the developers at Siemens PLM Software (Plano, TX) learn how to best deploy PLM systems used by the racers, noted Jim Rusk, Siemens PLM senior vice president and chief technical of- ficer. “We’re able to learn from them. They’re scrambling for a week to provide the best components possible to their teams,” he said. “It really is a very dynamic environment—and their competition is doing the same thing.” Speeding up product iterations enabled Siemens to see how to best help racing teams in Formula 1 and also in aircraft racing with the Red
