ANN ARBOR, MI, USA, Sep 16, 2026 — CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of nine country-specific 2026 PLM Market Analysis Reports. These reports follow the release of the 2026 China PLM Market Analysis Report earlier this year.
The CIMdata PLM MAR series presents CIMdata’s analysis of the 2025 product lifecycle management (PLM) market. The complete global analysis offers CIMdata’s perspective on PLM across a variety of industry and geographic sectors, identifies market trends, reviews 2025 investments in PLM-related software and services, and forecasts PLM investments for 2026 through 2030. It includes charts that present the overall PLM market and its sectors as defined by CIMdata.
In addition to its global PLM Market Analysis reports, CIMdata offers ten country-specific reports:
These reports focus on the PLM market in each country, covering its main segments and the 2025 financial results for PLM solution and service providers. Each country report includes estimates of spending by industry segment within the country, market presence within the country, growth of the top-10 PLM solution suppliers in that country, revenue for global mindshare leaders, market shares in each measured segment, and five-year forecasts.
“2025 was another strong year for PLM globally,” according to John MacKrell, CIMdata’s Chairman. “Overall growth was 9.9%, with all segments growing year-on-year. There were bright spots in some segments and in some geographic regions.”
For calendar year 2025, the United States is the largest market at US$16.8 billion and is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% through 2030. PLM revenues in Germany were US$6.2 billion, with a CAGR of 7.8%. PLM revenues in Japan were US$5.9 billion, with a CAGR of 7.4%. These three countries have dominated the PLM market for years and will maintain that position. However, South Korea (US$1.1 billion, 8% CAGR) and the emerging PLM economies of Brazil, China, and India have strong potential. CIMdata estimates 2025 PLM revenues in Brazil at US$421 million (6.3% CAGR), in China at US$4.6 billion (9.5% CAGR), and in India at US$1.2 billion (9.5% CAGR). Mr. MacKrell continued, “For 2025, CIMdata estimates PLM revenues in France at US$2.7 billion with a CAGR of 7.5%, in Italy at US$907 million with a 7.8% CAGR, and in the United Kingdom at US$2.2 billion with a 6.8% CAGR.”
