Plano, TX– Siemens PLM Software has announced its ranking as the number one PLM solution supplier in China based on 2009 overall market presence, according to leading PLM management consulting and research firm CIMdata, Inc.

This recognition, based on in-depth data and analysis of the PLM market in China, is detailed in just released CIMdata China PLM Report.

“Siemens PLM Software continues to demonstrate leadership in some of the industry’s most important sectors,” sayd Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s Vice President.

“Last month we reported that the company was the market presence leader in collaborative Product Definition management (cPDm) and the direct revenue leader in Digital Manufacturing, two of the fastest growing segments of the global PLM market. With the addition of its position as the PLM market presence leader in China – the world’s fastest growing economy – Siemens PLM Software continues to distinguish itself as a major force in the PLM industry.”

CIMdata’s report provides detailed information and in-depth analysis on China’s “Mainstream PLM” market, which continues to outpace the growth of the global PLM market. CIMdata defines Mainstream PLM as the subsectors of the PLM market that have traditionally been addressed by the major PLM solution suppliers.

Some of these subsectors include cPDm, mechanical CAD, engineering simulation and analysis, and digital manufacturing.
