The plm in discrete manufacturing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.06 billion in 2023 to $23.7 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including globalization and distributed manufacturing, the escalating complexity of products, compliance with regulatory standards and emphasis on quality assurance, the acceleration of innovation cycles, and efforts directed at cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

The plm in discrete manufacturing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including digital transformation and the advent of Industry 4.0, an increased focus on sustainability and environmental impact, the adoption of advanced simulation and virtual prototyping, and enhanced collaboration across the extended ecosystem. Key trends expected during this period include integrated product development, integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced analytics and simulation, and the growing prominence of additive manufacturing (3D printing).

The anticipated growth in the adoption of smart factories and smart manufacturing is poised to drive the expansion of the PLM in the discrete manufacturing market. A smart factory, characterized by its digitized manufacturing processes, and smart manufacturing, utilizing internet-connected machinery for production monitoring, benefit from PLM Discrete's decision-making capabilities, leveraging information to improve processes and address potential issues. Plex Systems, a US-based software company in the PLM in the discrete manufacturing market, reported a 50% increase in smart manufacturing adoption rates over twelve months, with two out of every three manufacturers incorporating some form of smart manufacturing component. Hence, the surge in the adoption of smart factories and smart manufacturing is a key driver of PLM in the discrete manufacturing market growth.

The growing number of IoT-linked devices is expected to contribute to the advancement of the PLM in the discrete manufacturing market. IoT-linked devices, referring to nonstandard computing devices wirelessly connected to a network with data transmission capabilities, empower PLM through real-time data, facilitating informed decisions, improved product quality, and enhanced manufacturing efficiency. According to a report by Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunications company, broadband IoT (4G/5G) connections, encompassing the majority of cellular IoT devices, reached 1.3 billion in 2022, with a projection that nearly 60% of cellular IoT connections will be broadband IoT by the end of 2028. The increasing prevalence of IoT-linked devices is, therefore, a driving force behind the growth of the PLM in the discrete manufacturing market.
