The COVID-19 outbreak has significantly pushed the adoption of cloud-based PLM software among enterprises to achieve scalability, secured IT infrastructure and higher business efficiency during pandemic.

Increase in demand for discrete manufacturing and PLM software by various SMEs and rise in adoption of Industrial IoT among manufacturing industries boost growth of the global market. In addition, rise in digital transformation in various industries across different developing nations positively impacts growth of the market. However, high investments and integration costs hamper the PLM in discrete manufacturing market growth. On the contrary, surge in demand for cloud-based PLM software and emergence of smart factories and smart manufacturing across the globe is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for expansion of the market during the forecast period.

By deployment model, the on-premise segment garnered the largest PLM in discrete manufacturing market share in 2019, and is expected to maintain its dominance in the upcoming years as on-premise deployment mode is considered widely useful in large enterprises as software can be implemented on IT infrastructure of a company itself and it provides more security as compared to cloud. However, the cloud segment is expected to witness highest growth, owing to a paradigm shift in deployment methods from on-premise to cloud-based models. This is the major factor that propels adoption of cloud-based discrete manufacturing and PLM among SMEs and some large-scale organizations. In addition, leading market vendors of the PLM in discrete manufacturing market have introduced strategies to help enterprises move their on-premise discrete manufacturing and PLM model to cloud-based models, which further fuels growth of the segment.

Region wise, the PLM in discrete manufacturing market was dominated by North America in 2020, and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period. This is attributed to number of factors such as penetration of new industries and improvement in economy. In addition, presence of large number of cloud PLM solution vendors across the U.S. and Canada is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to wide presence of small- and medium-scale enterprises, which are turning toward hosted PLM solutions to efficiently manage their business processes, particularly in developing countries such as China, India, and Singapore.
