“2023年大部分厂商经历了开局信心满满、后续增长乏力的心路历程,工业软件厂商普遍面临外部竞争烈度上升、资本市场收紧的挑战。但同时,核心工业软件市场仍保持较高增速,本土厂商市场占比也在持续上升,在充分竞争的市场中,各领域陆续涌现出优秀厂商,竞争格局逐渐清晰。我们预测未来五年核心工业软件市场将会保持20%的年复合增长率,随着头部厂商产品销售-市场研发、用户反馈-产品提升飞轮的良性运转,市场会加速向头部厂商聚集,市场集中度会逐渐提高。工业软件市场开始进入决赛圈。”IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
...一段时间以来,“新型工业化”成为中国各类官方和民间组织持续探讨的焦点话题,是数字经济和实体经济深度融合在工业上的具体体现,也成为中国工业未来发展新的路标。新型工业化具体是指以信息技术为基础,以高端装备制造、新材料、新能源、节能环保等为重点,以智能制造为核心,以产业升级为目标的新型工业化。国家政策明确,到2035年基本实现新型工业化,强调坚持把发展经济的着力点放在实体经济上,推进新型工业化,加快建设制造强国。
新型工业化的重新提出,将带动作为其重要支撑的工业数字化市场得到重新梳理和进一步发展。对于制造企业,建设数据驱动的数字工厂将会是实现新型工业化的着力点之一。数字工厂是指由业务驱动转向数据驱动制造,以包括制造执行管理、质量管理、能源管理、生产数据采集、工艺优化及生产控制、设备管理等在内的生产制造为主,并从制造延伸到研产供销服等制造企业全业务领域。
不同企业规模、细分行业、数字化成熟的制造企业面临不同的挑战,本报告将从中国典型制造企业建设数字工厂时最常见的挑战出发,选取具备代表性的IDC中国2023年度数字工厂领导者案例,提出IDC的观点和建议,供行业用户借鉴和参考。
“数字工厂是制造企业数字化转型的重要路径,每个企业对其定义都不完全一致。建设数字工厂最终目标还是帮助制造企业提质降本增效,支撑和创造新的业务和商业模式,企业要避免将手段当成目标。单一IT系统建设往往是为了实现单一业务的局部最优,而数字工厂则要从局部最优迈向全局最优。随着中国制造整体升级,涌现出越来越多数字工厂建设的优秀实践,IDC每年会从中收集不同细分行业、企业规模和业务场景下数字工厂的优秀案例,为行业用户提供借鉴和参考。”——IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
...本演示文稿是同主题IDC FutureScape主文件《IDC FutureScape: 全球制造业2024预测——中国启示》的附件,旨在为技术销售领导者和技术营销领导者提供具体的建议。

请参考《IDC FutureScape: 全球制造业2024预测——中国启示》。
...本报告是IDC中国根据全球制造业十大预测,给出了基于中国现状的制造业趋势分析,提出了人才培养、供应链编排、AI个性化定制、自助备件服务、数字商务平台、GenAI运营、首席生态官CEO、韧性、AI+工控、可持续十项预测,以及每项预测对于IT方面的影响,并为技术买家提供了采用和部署这些技术的建议,可供中国企业在制定发展战略和数字化转型策略时参考。
工业企业都会开展生产设备的管理和运维工作,以保障设备的正常运转。但由于多方面限制,很多工厂的设备运维水平不高,经常面临设备非计划停机等问题,影响生产进度,并可能造成经济损失和安全风险。新兴的设备智能运维平台基于云原生技术开发,融合先进的IoT、大数据、AI、数字孪生等技术,可以帮助企业实现设备运维情况的数字化、智能化管理和预测分析,从而减少非停,提高设备运行效率,创造更多价值。
"融合先进IoT、大数据、AI等技术的设备智能运维平台已经成为大势所趋,预测性维护也在很多行业和企业得到应用,建议工业企业及时跟进最新技术进展,通过设备智能运维平台实现高水平设备运维,保障设备高效运转,减少非停,帮企业降本增效。"——IDC中国研究经理崔粲表示。
...仓储管理系统(WMS)市场包括零售、电商、制造、物流等细分市场,与零售行业相比,制造业供应链管理过往的受重视程度和管理水平都相对较低,但市场潜力也最大。随着外部环境的变化以及企业内部管理水平的提升,广大中国制造业企业管理重点逐步从企业内部向外部供应链延伸。和企业的研发、制造相比,对供应链管理的重视程度快速提升,"重生产、轻供应"的现象正在扭转。在实施供应链软件之前,通过供应链管理咨询服务优化组织架构和管理流程更为重要,软件服务商的咨询能力和业绩将成为最终用户选型时的重点考量因素。未来,构建强大的合作伙伴生态系统和供应链互联平台是将供应链从单纯的"业务成本"转变为竞争优势的关键因素。
"在供应链执行市场中,市场接受程度最高的单品是WMS。企服软件厂商、设备和自动化厂商、三方物流厂商和物流机器人厂商同时在该赛道开展竞争,形成极度割裂的市场现状,但头部的几家独立WMS软件厂商仍然是该市场主力,随着专业化程度的进一步提升,市场已经在走向分工合作的新生态。此外,随着产品成熟度的进一步提升以及国内竞争的日趋白热化,厂商可以考虑跟随Shein、Temu、极兔、蜜雪冰城、名创优品等先行一步出海的实体零售电商,或者阿里云、华为云、亚马逊等云基础设施厂商同步出海,开启IT企服的大航海时代。"—IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
..."不同业务规模制造企业解决数据融合的方式并不相同。大量中小规模的制造企业可以采用原生一体化IT应用,尽量从源头减少数据孤岛,或者通过主数据管理MDM实现现有有限异构系统之间数据互联互通;大型、集团型制造企业则更需要统一规划,先完成企业级别的组织和流程支撑体系、数据标准体系等数据治理工作,再将其固化在企业级的大数据平台中,为数据驱动的大数据和AI应用打好数据基础。"—IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
本IDC研究通过IDC MarketScape厂商评估模型对中国制造数字供应链整体解决方案厂商进行了评估。与制造和零售企业自行进行供应链数字化规划,并分别选取各类服务商分散建设数字供应链相比,近几年企业更倾向于选择一家整体解决方案服务商共同规划建设数字供应链。在本报告中,IDC研究了中国市场主流厂商,并选取了11家典型的制造数字供应链服务商进行重点研究,分别从现有能力和未来战略维度两个层面对厂商进行评估,为技术买家进行服务商选择时提供参考。
“中国制造和零售企业整体数字化成熟度在逐年提升,但供应链数字化成熟度却仍在起步阶段。随着供应链的不确定性成为常态,头部企业都在寻求供应链数字化转型,旨在将供应链从成本中心转换为机会中心,越来越多的服务提供商开始为企业提供数字供应链整体解决方案,但服务商认知不足、生态合作不充分和缺少经验丰富的行业顾问是当前市场供给的现状。未来几年,随着优秀案例的引领效应及服务商能力的提升,最终用户需求将不断释放,最先重点关注该市场的厂商将会具备先发优势。”——IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。

在汽车、航空航天等领域,CAE仿真软件广泛应用。3D CAD是CAE应用的重要基础和数据来源,根据《IDC中国设计研发类工业软件-CAD市场厂商份额,2022》(IDC #CHC50258523,2023年10月),2022年中国制造业3D CAD市场总量为36.0亿元人民币,占中国制造业CAD市场的74.1%,年增长率为16.5%,略高于整体CAD市场增长率。随着3D ...
"设计研发类工业软件近年持续得到国家政策和资本市场的双重重视,从默默无闻的幕后来到了台前,但在制造业整体增速放缓以及市场同质化竞争严重的背景下,工业软件厂商需要明确研发和市场策略并坚持执行,才可能实现高质量的长足发展,更好地支撑未来中国工业制造体系。"—IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
"2022年MES市场与实体产业保持共振,新能源和汽车整车等细分行业MES市场急剧增长;另一方面,随着工业数字化观念的持续提升,制造业最终用户从跟风向目标明确地应用MES转变,市场机会也开始从普及向替换和深化应用过渡。在供给端,越来越多的厂商开始通过坚持产品化、提供行业MOM提升毛利率,而提供以制造为核心、研产供销服全业务域的数字工厂整体解决方案则是另一条增强竞争力和粘性的路径。"—IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
与去年发布的《中国制造业PLM市场厂商份额,2021:稳中求进》报告相比,本次报告扩大了调研范围,更多市场主流的通用PLM产品厂商、细分行业PLM厂商以及PLM服务商均参与了研究,在PLM软件总市场基础上,增加了SaaS子市场空间及厂商份额,并重点分析了高科技电子及计算机通信、装备制造、整车及汽车零部件、航空航天船舶四个细分行业PLM解决方案市场空间及厂商份额。
"PLM市场的两股势力在2022年逐渐分化:ERP出身的厂商不约而同的加大市场和产品上的投入,利用庞大的客户基数以及完善的营销网络,业务实现高速增长;独立PLM厂商则在支撑制造企业机电软一体化的智能产品设计、正向设计和敏捷产品开发等专业研发方向上快速迭代,产品成熟度持续提升。根据IDC对全品类工业软件的调研,在竞争日趋激烈的工业软件赛道中,PLM市场发展相对理性和健康,未来也将会更好地助力中国制造向中国智造转变。"——IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
...IDC分析表明,2022年中国供应链计划及APS解决方案市场总规模达到13.6亿元人民币,年增长率为34.05%,与其他工业软件相比有较高的增速。主要影响因素是中国市场供应链计划需求持续释放,市场供给的数量和质量双双提升,此外,较低的渗透率和市场基数也是高增速的前提条件。IDC预测,该市场未来几年仍会保持较高增长速度。从竞争格局来看,Blue Yonder、SAP和悠桦林在2022年中国供应链计划及APS解决方案市场排名前三。其中,Blue Yonder依靠其在中国市场的良好口碑以及高科技电子行业解决方案的深厚积累,以10.1%的市场份额排名第一;SAP提供从企业资源管理到供应链计划的端到端集成方案,以8.5%的市场份额排名第二;悠桦林基于其运筹学智能算法和扎实的原厂交付团队,在市场中异军突起,以7.6%的市场份额排名第三。汉得信息、美云智数、金蝶、谷斗、微优微科技分列第四到第八。其他典型服务商达索系统、杉数科技、数策智能、西门子、和光、o9、永凯、第四范式、创新奇智、蓝幸、商简等都在各自领域有不错的表现。
"中国制造和零售企业整体数字化成熟度在逐年提升,但供应链数字化成熟度却仍在起步阶段。随着供应链的不确定性成为常态,头部企业都在寻求供应链数字化转型,旨在将供应链从成本中心转换为机会中心,而供应链计划及APS将从战略、战术和运营三个层面支撑这一过程,是企业建设智慧供应链的核心。本次研究发现,2022年该市场已处于爆发前夜,供应链计划及APS将会成为继PLM、ERP、MES之后,中国制造和零售企业必备的数字化'第四件套'。"——IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
...“电力行业是社会发展的基础性行业。随着全球能源形势的日益严峻,各国均大力开展了智慧电厂和智慧电网的研究和实践。其目标是建设一个覆盖整个电力生产过程,包括发电、输电、变电、配电、用电及调度等环节的实时系统,以支撑电网的安全、自愈、绿色、坚强及可靠运行。而其基础则是电力电网广域全景实时数据的采集、传输、存储、分析及决策支持。电力大数据必然继承了能源行业数据的特征,包括大量的因果关系数据、高维的时空数据,广域的监测控制,快速的时间响应及实时控制数据。此PeerScape报告展示了不同发展阶段的电力电网企业在大数据解决方案方面的前沿实践案例,展示了IT技术如何解决企业问题,帮助更多企业建立符合自己发展特色的大数据平台建设路径。”——IDC能源行业研究经理周启珊表示。

中国可持续供应链领导者案例:将绿色或可持续发展作为其供应链战略核心部分,并与供应链合作伙伴共同努力实现可衡量的可持续发展目标的最佳项目或计划,包括但不仅限于解决能源和废物减少计划、循环经济计划、再制造与修复、服务化和可回收等。
“在可持续发展的领域,企业往常更关注与自身直接相关范围1和范围2的碳排放,但企业间接发生范围3的碳排放往往数倍于前两者。一些核心链主企业近年来延伸企业社会责任,通过IoT、AI等新兴技术赋能上下游共同打造可持续供应链,为行业探索可持续路径,为国家迈向3060双碳目标做出贡献,”—IDC中国制造行业研究经理杜雁泽表示。
...本研究报告从中国企业建设数字工厂时最常见的挑战出发,选取具备代表性的中国数字工厂领导者案例,提出IDC的观点和建议,供行业用户借鉴和参考。
“数字工厂是制造企业转型升级的主要形式,新兴技术的快速发展能为数字工厂带来新的价值。制造企业在建设数字工厂的过程中,新兴技术到落地应用之间仍有鸿沟,与互联网、金融、政府等行业相比,制造企业对新兴技术的应用也稍显滞后。但近年来我们也看到,随着中国制造的整体升级,涌现出越来越多数字工厂建设的优秀实践,为行业用户提供了借鉴和参考。” ...
