Industrial Software: The 7 Trends That Will Shape 2025
According to the recent Industrial Software Landscape Report 2024–2030 by IoT Analytics, the global industrial software market will grow from 146 to 355 billion dollars by 2030.
A massive growth, fueled by a need common to all manufacturing sectors: digitize, integrate, automate.
But what are the trends that are really driving this evolution?
- Growth of cloud infrastructure and services solutions
The cloud is no longer a choice, but a strategic requirement. Companies are adopting cloud infrastructures to scale quickly, reduce IT management costs and enable remote access, security and real-time collaboration.
- Increased value of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software
Product lifecycle management (PLM) software is becoming central to managing complexity, innovation and sustainability, directly connected to production, design and the supply chain.
- Microsoft protagonist with Azure
Microsoft establishes itself as a leader in the sector thanks to the diffusion of its Azure cloud platform, which has become the preferred infrastructure for many companies to develop industrial solutions, integrate OT/IT data and support advanced analysis.
- Growth of software for the value chain
More and more attention is being paid to software that supports the entire value chain, not just production. From supplier management to logistics, up to after-sales service, an end-to-end vision of the industry is required.
- Focus on SaaS solutions
The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model allows for faster implementations, continuous updates and scalable costs. Companies today prefer flexible solutions, accessible via the web and easy to integrate with the existing ecosystem.
- Artificial Intelligence at the heart of innovation
Industrial AI becomes concrete: predictive maintenance, process optimization, decision automation and artificial vision are now operational solutions, no longer just experimental.
- Centrality of production operations management
MES systems and operations management platforms become the beating heart of smart factories. Real-time data collection, process visibility, traceability and performance monitoring are critical factors for competing.
The future of the factory is integrated, intelligent and flexible
The evolution of industrial software is not just about technology, but the very way of doing industry.
Companies that are able to read these trends, adapt and innovate will be the protagonists of the sector in the coming years.
