Estimated to be in excess of €1.1 billion in 2005, with an 8% growth compared to 2004, the market is both attractive and competitive.

They are ranked considering both their total revenue, as well as their software only revenue: PLM tools are studied in 4 categories: · MCAD (Mechanical Design tools): The biggest segment, still growing slightly. · PDM (Collaborative tools and Product Data Management): Growing fast, but mainly for MCAD vendors offering full PLM. · MCAE (Simulation, analysis and engineering tools): Growing fast but silently. · CAM (Manufacturing tools): Needs expressed for new technology. French PLM market is led by MCAD vendors. One of the findings of this analysis report is the relative high growth of the top PLM vendors, those offering MCAD , PDM , MCAE and CAM tools, compared to those offering just PDM. The new entrants in PLM, specialized in PDM (SAP, MatrixOne, ...) did not beat traditional CAD vendors in the PLM area. SAP, MatrixOne, Agile and Lascom, have lower growth and momentum, if any these days, than those traditional MCAD vendors who now control the whole PLM market. Dassault Systèmes, PTC and UGS are all three recording a trend of double digit growth in their PDM business in 2005, profitably and solidly. By providing market size, trend and vendors positions in each of the four segments; MCAD, PDM, MCAE, CAM, the reader can analyse which tools are adopted by the French market and how strongly they are adopted.
