CIMdata Publishes Simulation and Analysis Market Report

CIMdata, Inc. has released the CIMdata Simulation and Analysis (S&A) Market Analysis Report. This report expands on the simulation and analysis market analysis conducted as part of the CIMdata 2025 PLM Market Analysis Report Series.

The PLM MAR Series provides detailed information and in-depth analysis on the worldwide PLM market during 2024. It contains analyses of major trends and issues, revenues of leading PLM providers, and revenue analyses for geographical regions, industry sectors, as well as historical and projected data on market growth. 

The 2025 S&A MAR is a 94-page report that contains over 50 tables and charts of data, detailing the worldwide S&A market along various dimensions. It also includes an update on CIMdata’s S&A segmentation, a discussion of trends in the S&A industry, and updates on the top S&A solution providers. 

2024 was defined by three key trends:

• Electronic design automation/S&A consolidation: Electronics and semiconductor systems are now part of any new product/process development. Physics-based simulation technology is becoming a core part of their offerings. 
• Rise of AI/ML integration: AI and machine learning capabilities have been embedded into simulation workflows for a while, mostly in the background. Fueled by GPU computing advancements and interest generated by generative AI, new startups and established solution providers are reimagining simulation workflows.
• The maturation of digital twins: Digital twin technology advanced from a conceptual idea to tangible deployments across multiple industries. Simulation and analysis are foundational elements of digital twins, providing the physics-based modeling required for predictive insights. 

S&A revenues grew to $10.9 billion, an increase of 8.8% over the $10 billion in 2023. CIMdata expects the PLM market overall to continue its growth, but at different rates for different segments. For 2025, CIMdata forecasts the S&A sub-sector will grow by 10.7% overall and have revenues of just over $12 billion.
