Recent research by ARC Advisory Group reveals that Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has evolved from a niche tool into a pivotal element of broader digital transformation strategies, enabling organizations to innovate more efficiently, enhance collaboration, and maintain competitiveness in an increasingly interconnected global market. PLM vendors are becoming the backbone for successful business transformation because they provide the digital foundation and record for a product throughout its lifecycle. The early roots of PLM were confined to design/build processes. Today’s solutions have expanded significantly, from concept to end of life within a collaborative holistic framework for a variety of industries. Leading manufacturers are embracing the digital thread to streamline product development and create digital continuity across the product lifecycle.
"The intersection of product lifecycle management and sustainability is becoming increasingly significant. Companies are recognizing the importance of integrating sustainability into their PLM processes to create more environmentally friendly products and reduce their carbon footprint. This trend is driven by the growing awareness of environmental issues and the need for businesses to adopt sustainable practices to remain competitive in the market. By incorporating sustainability into PLM, companies can ensure that their products are designed, manufactured, and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. This includes using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and optimizing energy consumption throughout the product lifecycle,” according to Marianne D'Aquila, Director of Research and key author of ARC's Product Lifecycle Management Market Research.
