ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global research, consulting, and education firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the Digital Transformation it enables, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, "2026 PLM Market in Review & A Brief Look Ahead." This eagerly awaited annual webinar will take place on Thursday, December 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will last for one hour.

The global PLM Economy, CIMdata's term for the global ecosystem of software and service providers that help industrial companies achieve their PLM objectives, has grown strongly over the last few decades. In this webinar, CIMdata will cover key 2026 activities, insights from the past year, and what the next few years might look like, including the potential long-term impact of AI on PLM enablement.

The webinar will help attendees:

• Develop a deeper understanding of the events of 2026 and their impact on the market.
• Gain an understanding of the major players in the global PLM market.
• Understand some of the key announcements made in 2026.
• Understand how various global conditions are expected to impact the global PLM Economy over the next several years.

According to webinar host Peter Bilello, "CIMdata estimates that the global PLM market grew by nearly 10% in 2025, with solid growth across all segments. Economic headwinds have affected the market in 2026. Still, the drivers of the PLM Economy—AI enablement, Industry 4.0, smart connected products, and digital transformation—remain strong, with AI playing a prominent role. The next question we must all address is how the workforce will evolve in the years ahead."
