Outlook of the collaborative product definition management (cPDM) market
The market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global collaborative product definition management (cPDM) market will grow steadily and post a CAGR of around 10% by 2020. The increase in demand for product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions used for communication, coordination, and collaboration with different business units will be one of the significant factors contributing to the growth of the market. Product outlining will be an important component of the overall manufacturing process and solutions such as cPDM as they enable effective collaboration among various departments that plan, design, manufacture, and support a product throughout its lifecycle. Additionally, it also ensures the availability of updated product information to all units. Also, collaboration techniques conferred by PLM solutions will add to the ease of designing a product, help manage material costs, lower inventory costs, and boost product quality.
A recent trend observed in the global cPDM market is the capability of cPDM to support CAD Files. Several cPDM vendors have incorporated the ability to support different types of CAD files, such as .dwg, .dft, .3dxml, .psm, and database files, which will enable the effective integration of various design records into signal product structures. Furthermore, this ability will aid in the integration of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) documents for visualization of the product assembly, which will further help in the evolution of the market space.
