With more than 10%
of the global PLM market, France* is the second largest
European region for the PLM solutions. 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.
Ansys, Autodesk, CD-Adapco, Dassault Systèmes, ESI, Fluent,
Lascom, LMS International, MatrixOne, Mecalog, Missler, MSC Software,
PTC, Samtech, SAP, Sescoi, SolidWorks, Spring Technologies, Think3, and
UGS are
studied in this report with their 2004 numbers and the estimated 2005
in France.
They are ranked considering both their total revenue, as well as their
software only revenue:
PLM tools are studied in 4 categories:
· 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.
Like most regions, the French PLM market is led by vendors who still
generate most of their revenues in the MCAD area. One of the findings
of this analysis report is the influence of MCAD on the collaborative
and data management market trend. In late 90s, many analysts estimated
that the PDM market will be hot in the coming years and thus the new
entrants specialized in PDM (SAP, MatrixOne, ...) will beat traditional
PLM vendors focused too much on MCAD. We find, in hindsight, that they
were partially right, as the PDM segment has definitely been one of the
fastest growing segments of PLM, however, we have identified two
categories of PDM vendors: Those who are focused on PDM (SAP,
MatrixOne, Agile, Lascom), and those who offer PDM tools together with
their MCAD solutions (Dassault Systèmes, PTC, UGS). The
first
group is still finding the PLM business challenging. SAP, despite
leading the French PDM segment, has registered –3% on the PLM
business globally during the first nine months of 2005, while the rest
of the company's business is on a +20% trend. MatrixOne and Agile, are
both unprofitable, and Lascom a pure French player, has not earned the
expected growth, despite some progress.
On the other hand, Dassault, PTC and UGS, are all three recording a
trend of double digit growth in their PDM business in 2005, profitably
and solidly.
With over
12
charts and graphs, in a 24
pages document, PLM market France 2005 report gives a
reasonable quantitative and qualitative picture of the market.
*Numbers
estimated for software vendors in France cover all European French
speaking regions including Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
