The cPDM software packages also help in sharing data among supply chain partners, thereby enhancing the capability, efficiency, and effectiveness of an enterprise.

"The increasing demand for cPDM software in the automotive industry is because of the rising electric car production. Many major players in the automotive industry such as General Motors (News - Alert) and Ford have included electric and hybrid vehicles in their product portfolios. The automotive industry is the major end-user for cPDM software globally and it will continue to dominate the market in the forecast period," says Amrita Choudhury, a lead product lifecycle management research expert from Technavio.
