Distribution of 2022 PLM Revenue by Market Sector

The PLM Economy, as measured in our PLM market analysis, has continued to grow in 2022. In calendar year 2022, the PLM market grew to just over $66.6 billion overall (10% growth over 2021). “The PLM market saw really strong results in 2022, beating our forecast,” according to Mr. Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Vice President. “Electronic Design Automation (EDA) led the pack with a year-on-year growth of 12.7%, driven by market leaders Cadence and Synopsys. Autodesk’s results also contributed to strong growth in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) at 8.3%, a segment hurt in our analysis by the 11% drop of the Euro against the US dollar. Finally, simulation and analysis (S&A) returned to strong growth at 10.9%. We expect the move toward smart, connected products to continue growth in S&A, software development tools, and electronic design automation (EDA).”
