Global PLM solution providers continue to invest in China and are expanding their partner networks and growing their customer bases. The leading international PLM solution providers including Dassault Systèmes, PTC and Siemens Digital Industries Software are all showing continued growth in China, but local firms are growing as well.

“Local Chinese solution providers continue to gain real market share as shown by their increased presence in the report’s charts,” says Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s president and CEO. “We continue to have strong attendance at our annual China PLM Market & Industry Forum, held virtually again this year. The Chinese government is ramping up investment in local IT firms and it is starting to have a real positive impact on the China-based market. These Chinese competitors are closer to their local market and are expanding their offerings into new segments, a good sign for the vitality of the Chinese PLM market.” 

CIMdata designed this report to be a source of information to support the business and market planning processes of PLM solution providers that are targeting China, as well as industrial companies within China who would like to understand the PLM competitive landscape. Further details about the report including pricing information is available on CIMdata’s website.
