ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA, 19 November 2024—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, today announces “Model-Based Systems Engineering: Optimizing the Systems of Systems” as the theme for its 2025 PLM Market & Industry Forum event series.

The event series will frame the topic of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and explore how industries are adapting to the rising adoption of MBSE beyond aerospace and defense, as well as automotive.

Drawing on primary research conducted by CIMdata on behalf of the CIMdata-administered Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group and a group of leading PLM solution providers in late 2024 and early 2025, the event will offer insight into the following questions:

  • How is the global PLM Economy responding to MBSE?
  • How well are industrial companies achieving their MBSE objectives?

CIMdata will also share its perspective on the current state of the PLM market and future trends, including the first public release of its 2025 global PLM market analysis results. These presentations provide attendees with valuable data and insights, including in-depth analyses and forecasts spanning PLM domains, industries, and regions, as well as the performance of leading PLM solution providers by revenue and market share.

According to Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata’s Vice President, “From the aqueducts of the Roman Empire to the rise of digital twins, engineering has consistently pushed boundaries and fueled innovation. Today, MBSE marks a transformative leap, bringing a structured modeling approach that streamlines the entire product lifecycle to industries outside its beginnings in aerospace and automotive. As industries embrace increasingly complex and interconnected systems, MBSE paves the way for breakthroughs that redefine how we design, build, and optimize the products of tomorrow.”

The first of the four events in the 2025 series will be held on 27 March in Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Similar events will follow in early April in Frankfurt, Germany; Mumbai, India; and Shanghai, China.
