This hour-long session will provide an early look at 2025 PLM market performance and deliver CIMdata's highly anticipated five-year forecast through 2030.

The PLM Economy, CIMdata's term for the global ecosystem of software and services providers that assist industrial companies in achieving their PLM objectives, has grown strongly over the past decade. This webinar will focus on the results for the calendar year 2025 and offer insights into CIMdata's forecast for 2026 through 2030.

More than a data summary, this webinar is a strategic briefing that is designed to help PLM leaders:

• Understand how CIMdata's PLM definition differs from those offered by other market influencers.
• See how the PLM market segments actually grew in 2025 and where the momentum is heading.
• Identify key players in the global PLM market landscape.
• Understand how mergers and acquisitions in 2025 have reshaped the competitive landscape.
• Understand how various global conditions are expected to impact the global PLM market.
• Learn how AI enablement is moving from a buzzword to a primary driver of PLM market value.

According to Peter Bilello, CIMdata's President & CEO and the host for this webinar, "The PLM market, as estimated by CIMdata, grew by almost 9% in the calendar year 2025. The results were solid, with growth in all PLM segments. Some economic headwinds will undoubtedly impact the market in 2026. However, the growth drivers for the PLM Economy, AI enablement, Industry 4.0, smart connected products, and digital transformation remain strong, with AI taking a prominent role. This webinar will help attendees understand how to leverage these trends for long-term success."
