PLM EXPLAINED
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the art of
managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its
conception to disposal.
PLM software give companies a view on every aspect
of their product development process. The definition
is clear, but is the sense clear as well? The fact is,
there is no PLM‐software uniquely identifiable as such.
PLM is about the integration of different software:
CAD to draw a product, CAE to test it, CAM to make it,
PDM to manage product data and DM to plan the
production.
PLM MARKET VALUE AND GROWTH
The PLM market is growing fast, from $24bln in 2007
to $27bln in 2008. Almost all experts agree on the fact
that the organic growth of the market (which means
without considering mergers and acquisitions) will
continue. Nevertheless, in the past few years the
market has been growing on a slower pace than in
previous years. The peak of growth rates was reached
in 2007 (almost 13%), while in 2009 and 2010 the
predicted growth of PLM market will be of only 3.75%
and 4.75% respectively. Once the crisis is over, in
2011‐2013, the growth rates should turn to grow
reaching 7.5%
PLM MARKET LEADERS
Since 2003 Autodesk leads PLM industry, with 9% of
the total market. In 2008 its revenues reached
$2.3bln, despite a disappointing fourth quarter. Losses
of Autodesk continued also in the first quarter 2009,
with revenue down to 29% and $32 million loss. To
retain growth rate and margins, Autodesk might
acquire other companies and cut costs drastically.
Dassault Systemes holds 7% of PLM market, with
$1.6bln revenue in 2008. It recently reported a
revenue growth of 1% in the 1st quarter of 2009.
Six percent of PLM market belong to Siemens PLM
Software, in 2008 its revenues reached $1.5bln.
The forth leader is PTC, with 4% of market share. In
2008 it reached $1.1bln. In the same year European
market of PTC grew by 20%, reaching $0.45bln, while
American market grew only by 0.2%.

CAD & AEC EXPLAINED
CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. CAD software
are used for the design of objects on computer, from
aircraft components to special effects in Hollywood
movies.
Computer Aided Design, or drafting programs come in
two forms: 2D and 3D. 3D designs can be viewed from
any angle; drawings can be zoomed‐in and out or
rotated and geometry can be easily changed with a
mouse click. Today's CAD systems can even turn 3D
models into animations or videos.
In the last 10 years the use of CAD expanded
drastically, also thanks to the price of the software.
While in eighties CAD systems were sold for over
$100K a seat, today the average price for a basic
mechanical CAD seat is around $12K, while AutoCad LT
costs around $1,200.
Despite the price decrease, and the more
functionalities offered by 3D, 63% of CAD users are
still working with 2D systems.
AEC stands for Architecture, Engineering &
Construction. AEC software are made specifically for
architecture, engineering and construction firms.
These products range from general purpose design
tools to sector‐specific products such as commercial,
industrial and residential design software.
While it may seem the same as CAD software, AEC
contains some additional feature, like construction
cost databases or the most recent regulations
regarding architecture.
CAD MARKET VALUE AND GROWTH
In 2008 CAD revenues reached $6bln. The market
continues to grow fast (but on a slower pace): while it
may seem that the CAD industry is a territory only of
engineers and other geeky guys, the truth is that CAD
is involved in everything that is built.
CAD is both a visual front‐end for products and a gate
to information about how to build the product and
how much will cost.
Very little is known about AEC market. What can be
stated is that its value in 2007 amounted $0.7bln.
CAD MARKET LEADERS
In 2007, the leader of CAD market was Autodesk with
36% of market share. Its product, AutoCAD, initially
released in 1982, was one of the first CAD programs to
run on personal computers.
Dassault Systemes has 19% of CAD market share,
while Siemens PLM Software and PTC earned 12% and
11% of market share, respectively. The four biggest
market players hold 78% of the market – which is
therefore very consolidated.
Some of biggest AEC market players are Dassault
Systemes and Autodesk.
CAD & AEC
CAE & EDA EXPLAINED
CAE (Computer‐Aided Engineering) is the study of
behavior of a product in different conditions with the
help of computer. CAE software are used to analyze
performance of products, without building prototypes.
In any stage of the process of development of a new
product, engineers need to test the behavior of their
concept. Instead of building prototypes and testing
them in labs, CAE software uses digital models created
with CAD, to simulate physical phenomena through
numerical methods.
Very rarely a single CAE software is enough for the
entire product design process, therefore there are
many specialized for specific disciplines. Around 30%
of CAE users perform structural analysis, 20% ‐fluid
flow analysis, 16% ‐dynamics analysis and other 16%
thermal analysis.
EDA (Electronic Design Automation) is a class of
software for designing and producing electronic
systems like computer chips or cellular phones. As
electronics become even more pervasive, the EDA
industry is vital to the success of global economy.
CAE & EDA MARKET VALUE AND GROWTH
In 2008 CAE market reached $2.8bln, growing by 4.9%.
The crisis decreased investments – in 2007 the market
grew twice as fast. The European share of CAE market
accounted for 52%, 56% and 62% in 2005, 2006 and
2007, respectively. This is the result of the fast
European CAE market growth –in 2007 it grew by 11%,
reaching $1.6bln. The market value of EDA reached
$5.8bln in 2007 which is 8.7% more than the previous
year.
CAE & EDA MARKET LEADERS
CAE market is highly fragmented, the top five share
only 30% altogether. The leader is ANSYS with
$385mln revenues in 2007 and 46% growth. In 2006
ANSYS acquired Fluent, and in 2008 Ansoft.
The second player is MSC Software, who lost the
leadership in 2006. In 2007 MSC registered $247mln in
revenues, 5% less than a year before, and a net loss of
$1.6mln. Recently top executives gave resignations.
Dassault Systemes and Siemens PLM reached $237mln
and $188mln respectively.
In 2007, EDA market was lead by three American
companies, whose compound revenue reached
$3.7bln, corresponding to 64% of the total market
share. Therefore the marked is quite consolidated.
These three companies are Synopsys, Cadence Design
Systems and Mentor Graphics, with market value on
March 2009 of $2.6B, $990mln and $410mln
respectively.
It is worth mentioning that in 2008 ANSYS, the leader
of CAE, entered EDA market with the acquisition of
Ansoft ‐one of EDA market players. The company was
acquired for $832mln (LINK), which was 8.5 times
more than the annual revenue of the company.
CAE & EDA
CAM & DM EXPLAINED
CAM stands for computer aided manufacturing, and
means the use of software to manufacture products.
In brief, it translates the design of a product created
on computer with Computer Aided Design tools (CAD),
into manufacturing instructions for numerical
controlled machine tools.
In conjunction with CAD, computer‐aided
manufacturing reduces the costs of producing goods,
by minimizing the involvement of human operators.
While CAD removes the need to retain a team of
drafters, CAM removes the need for factory workers.
These developments result in lower operational costs,
lower end product prices and increased profits for
manufacturers.
DM (Digital manufacturing) is a way to plan and
simulate the manufacturing process in a virtual
environment. Basically it allows you to build the
product virtually and decide the most suited tools to
use to manufacture the product, in which sequence to
assemble the product, how to place workplaces in the
factory. It helps therefore to optimize the
manufacturing process. For example, Digital
Manufacturing solutions helped trim General Motors’
vehicle development times in half.
CAM & DM MARKET VALUE AND GROWTH
In 2008 the CAM software market grew by 5.2% and
reached the level of $1.47 billion. It is projected that in
2009 the growth rate will slow to 1.3%. This reduction
in the growth rate is a result of a downturn in a global
economy in the manufacturing industry. CIMdata
Chairman said that “Even though the CAM software
market is relatively mature, [] integration with other
manufacturing software is occurring, new
manufacturing areas such as China are emerging, []
and the underlying CAM software technology
continues to evolve”.
Few years ago industry analyst firms predicted that
the digital manufacturing tools market would more
than double between 2006 and 2011, growing from an
estimated $436mln to more than $1 billion. These
predictions resulted wrong, with DM industry reaching
only $470mln in 2007.
CAM & DM MARKET LEADERS
CAM software market continues to be highly‐
fragmented and competitive. In 2007 the market
leader was Dassault Systemes with 15% of market
share. Siemens PLM Software earned 13%, PTC – 7%.
The worldwide five most rapidly‐growing CAM
software vendors on the basis of revenue received in
2007, as compared to 2006, were SolidCAM, Cimatron,
OPEN MIND, Missler Software, and Dassault Systèmes.
In 2008, Siemens PLM Software was recognized the
market leader in Digital Manufacturing market
segment. There is few recent data on Digital
Manufacturing software market leaders, it is known
though that another important market player is
Dassault Systemes with its Delmia package.
CAM & DM
SI & VAR EXPLAINED
SI (System Integrators) are companies that link together different computing systems and software applications and make them “talk” to each other. By doing so, for example, a CAD software bought from one company, CAM software bought from another company and PDM developed in‐house can communicate to each other: CAD can send directly the data to CAM, and PDM can extract and keep all the necessary data. VAR (Value‐Added Reseller) is a company that takes an existing product, adds its own "value" usually in the form of a specific application for the product and resells it as a new product or "package." For example, a company may take a CAE software, personalize it for a specific application (e.g. water flood simulation) and sell it.
SI&VAR MARKET VALUE AND LEADERS
In 2007, the market of System Integrators and Value Added Resellers grew to $4.3bln ‐ from $4,1bln in 2006. IBM is the world largest system integrator, while others include: Capgemini, Accenture and Ericsson. IBM is the world largest system integrator, while
others include: Capgemini, Accenture and Ericsson.
As to value‐added resellers, no freely available data currently exists on largest VARs. As an example though, we can mention the company IDAC FEA UK, which is a “is a Value Added Reseller for a wide range of engineering analysis software, including the full ANSYS simulation suite”.
PDM EXPLAINED
PDM stands for Product Data Management, and means software that are dedicated to capturing and maintaining all the information on products through their development. Information handled usually includes design geometry, bill of material, engineering drawings, product specifications, numerical‐control machine tool programs, analysis results, and many other items – everything that regards the product developed. PDM assures that the right information is available to the right person at the right time and in the right form. Thus, PDM improves the communication among different groups and gives a possibility to collaborate in a more efficient way. Typical users of PDM have traditionally included designers and engineers. Nowadays though, PDM systems are used by managers, marketing, shipping and manufacturing personnel: all of them have realized that the PDM software helps to achieve faster work, fewer errors, greater cooperation, and smoother work flow. This translates into cost savings and time reductions.
PDM MARKET VALUE AND GROWTH
The PDM market reached $2.7bln in 2007, growing by
11% to $3bln in 2008. In 2008 it accounted for more
than 10% of the total PLM market revenue. With the
growing amount of data available and exchanged, it
can be predicted that in the future the need to
manage it will be always increasing, and that PDM
market will continue to grow.
SI & VARPDM
PDM MARKET LEADERS
There is no data available on the PDM market shares
in recent years. We can though know the market
shares of PDM market in 2004. Knowing that 2004
PDM market revenues amounted to $1.73bln, and the
revenue of PDM market players, it is possible to say
that the largest company was UGS, now known as
Siemens PLM Software (10% of PDM market), Dassault
Systèmes (9%), SAP (6%), and PTC (5%).
