ARC says PLM Market is going after New Industries
ARC表示PLM市場重點在新行業

January 29, 2013 - The primary influence on the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) market in Asia for this reporting period (base year 2011) continues to be the emerging economies of Asia such as China and India. According to a new ARC Advisory Group study, overall, the PLM market is growing led by strong growth in the automotive and aerospace & defense industries, as well as penetration into new industries, such as shipbuilding, consumer goods, and electric power.

1月29日消息——ARC一份最新研究報告表明，在報告預測期內（基準年為2011年），中國和印度等新興經濟體仍然是產品生命周期管理(PLM)在亞洲最主要的市場。總體而言，PLM市場受到多個行業的強勢增長帶動，如汽車、航空航天和國防，同時市場也滲透到一些新行業，比如造船、消費品以及電力等。

PLM solution providers have experienced a robust rebound beginning in 2010 and extending through 2011, with 2011 marking record growth for some companies, and the overall Asia PLM market breaking through the $2.2 billion boundary for revenues. The ratio of new PLM software licenses to service (implementation, consulting, and maintenance) for PLM mirrors the traditional enterprise software to services ratio of 40:60 percent. ARC expects this trend of more services to software to continue at the current levels through this forecast period.

PLM解決方案提供商從2010年開始經歷了一個強勁的反彈，并持續到2011年，不少公司在2011年的銷售額都獲得了創記錄的增長，亞洲PLM總體市場年收入突破22億美元大關。新的PLM軟件授權與PLM服務（實施、咨詢和維護）比例沿襲了傳統企業軟件與服務的比例，比例為40:60。ARC預計，預測期內，PLM服務比例大于PLM軟件這一趨勢將以目前的水平一直延續下去。

PLM Focus Is on New Markets and Industries
PLM重點關注新市場新行業

Product lifecycle management solution providers will continue to aggressively penetrate into new industries. The traditional market share and highest adoption of PLM technology historically has been the discrete industries, such as automotive, aerospace & defense, heavy equipment, industrial fabrication & assembly, machine tools, and high-tech & electronics. These mainstay discrete industries that retreated during the economic downturn of ‘08 and ‘09 gave more impetus to PLM suppliers to look to non-traditional industries. Solutions are now being readily adopted by a set of industrial verticals, such as medical devices, consumer goods, retail, ship building, energy generation & utilities, and AEC; and the adoption growth rates in these sectors reflect this trend. PLM suppliers are looking for growth in these sectors to fuel revenues as their business growth in the discrete industries matures.

產品生命周期管理解決方案供應商將繼續積極地滲透到新的行業。傳統上，離散行業一直占據PLM技術最大的市場份額，如汽車、航空航天與國防、重型設備、工業制造與裝配、機床，以及高科技與電子。這些支柱型離散行業在2008年和2009年的經濟衰退中受到影響，促使PLM供應商尋找非傳統行業。一些垂直行業目前已經廣泛應用PLM解決方案，如醫療設備、消費品、零售、造船、電力、公共設施和AEC，PLM在這些行業應用增長率足以反映這一趨勢。PLM供應商正在尋找在這些領域的增長機會，創造營收，使業務在離散行業日趨成熟。

According to G. Ganapathiraman, Country Manager ARC Advisory Group India, and co-author of ARC’s “Product Lifecycle Management for Asia Market Research Study”, “Clearly, the market leaders in PLM, as well as many of the smaller suppliers are focusing well beyond their historical industry strengths and into the process and hybrid industries.” He further adds that these PLM suppliers are leveraging advanced 3D modeling and simulation technologies to penetrate industries such as ship building, energy & power, oil & gas, life sciences, construction & architecture, retail, and even the fashion industry.

《產品生命周期管理亞洲市場研究報告》的聯合作者、印度總經理G. Ganapathiraman表示：“很明顯，無論是PLM領先供應商還是小型供應商，其重點已不僅僅停留在傳統行業優勢，而是希望更多地進入過程和混合行業。”他進一步補充說，這些PLM供應商正在利用先進的3D模型和仿真技術滲透到造船、能源與電力、油氣、生命科學、建筑、零售甚至時尚等行業。

In addition to PLM market analysis and forecasts, ARC’s study also covers the current market nuances, strategic issues, and the future outlook. The report also highlights the factors that influence the PLM market in Asia and its dynamics.
