AI in PLM: Expanding Capabilities Across the Product Lifecycle
An event exclusively for PLM Software & Service Providers
CIMdata’s PLM Market & Industry Forums have evolved to address the changing challenges and opportunities in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) sector. Each annual event focuses on a central theme reflecting the latest industry trends.
Our theme for 2026 will frame the topic of AI and discuss the issues faced and how best to respond to these new and evolving requirements.
We will consider the following questions:
- How is the global PLM Economy responding to these requirements?
- How well are industrial clients achieving their AI objectives?
To help answer both of these questions, CIMdata will leverage primary research conducted in late 2025 and early 2026.
We will also share CIMdata’s perspective on the current state of the PLM market and trends for the future in detail, including the first public release of CIMdata’s 2026 global PLM market analysis results. Attendees will gain access to valuable data and insights, including in-depth analyses and forecasts spanning PLM domains, industries, and regions, as well as performance metrics for leading PLM solution providers by revenue and market share. Much of this information will not be publicly available until the 2026 MAR reports are published in late Spring and Summer.
CIMdata’s 2026 PLM Market & Industry Forum is the leading event designed exclusively for software and services providers in the PLM economy.
