Article Abstract:

A recent research by ARC Advisory Group shows that chemical process industries form less than 11% of the $5.3 billion product lifecycle management (PLM) market. However the PLM market is expected to grow at the rate of 14% per annum and so also the implementation of PLM in the process industries. The potential in PLM market is the reason for the entry of new suppliers like UGS Corp., Dassault Systemes and the partnership formed by IBM PLM solutions.
