- What are the digital manufacturing offerings and use cases available in the market? Which one has highest growth potential?
Key Findings & Highlights:
The current digital manufacturing services market size stands at $1.25bn. It will reach $4.3bn by 2023, growing at 26% CAGR during the period. It will reach ~$4.3bn by 2023. Growth will be driven initially by IoT use cases relevant to digital manufacturing.
Most contracts are of a small case, ranging from consulting to PoCs leading to relatively small systems integration and deployment contracts. Clients award these contracts as independent ones, with few clients awarding mega-deals. The market will shift to a higher number of systems integration and deployment contracts, as clients look to progress from their PoCs. Mega-deals will remain scarce, but mid-sized deals will more frequent, with clients structuring their spending with a few preferred partners.
Clients are currently buying predictive equipment maintenance; remote monitoring and control; and, to a lesser extent, worker’s security; digital instruction, remote assistance and training; and manufacturing operations improvement.
IoT (including track-and-trace) is the primary technology used in digital manufacturing. It is complemented by data collection, analytics, and AI, and, to a lower extent, by AR/VR.
Other technologies will play a more important part in digital manufacturing: advanced planning & scheduling (APS), MES, and digital twins, along with simulation software.
Analytics will continue to play a critical role. AR/VR will move from small pilots to rollouts but remain low in spending.
