Global BOM Software Market 2016-2020

Published: Jun 2016 Pages: 57 SKU: IRTNTR9691

Global outlook of the BOM (bill of materials) software market

Technavio’s market research analysts have predicted that the global BOM (bill of materials) software market will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 8% by 2020. This market research and analysis identifies the rise in cross-plant manufacturing activities to be one of the major factors spurring the prospects for growth in this market. Most products are manufactured in different locations and then assembled separately to bring down the total cost of manufacturing. This makes it difficult for a single vendor to manufacture products with different specifications and requirements in a single location and to supply them to different locations. By ensuring efficient data communication between different units, material management software helps in resolving issues related to quality, design changes, specifications, and manufacturing, and plays a critical role in cross-plant manufacturing activities.

The emergence of IoT (internet of things) has led to the development of smart connected devices. IoT considers hardware devices, embedded software, communication services, and IT services as a single unit and creates smart communication environments such as smart homes, smart shopping, and smart transportation. IoT uses connected devices like portable navigation devices, media players, and imaging devices with cellular connections that are developed by using bill management software and cPDM (collaborative product data management) solutions to establish a connected environment between devices.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The market appears fragmented and is characterized by the presence of several small, medium-sized and large vendors. Small vendors find it difficult to approach bigger companies who normally prefer large vendors while adopting bigger PLM (product lifecycle management) solutions. The high growth potential of this market is likely to invite more vendors to the material management software market space, which will, in turn, intensify the level of vendor competition during the forecast period.

The leading vendors in the market are -

  • Autodesk
  • Arena Solutions
  • Aras
  • Dassault Systèmes
  • PTC
  • Siemens PLM

The other prominent vendors in the market are IQMS, Omnify Software, Open Systems, Oracle, SAP, and Silicon Expert Technologies.
