leaders for 2007
 
 
In the recently-released Version 17 of the NC Software and Related Services Market Assessment Report, consulting and research firm CIMdata Inc. named the worldwide CAM software market leaders for 2007 and projected those expected to be market leaders in 2008.

For 2007, Dassault Systèmes was the market leader on the basis of both vendor revenues received and end-user payments for CAM software and services, CNC Software was the leader on the basis of industrial seats shipped, and Planit Holdings was the leader on the basis of industrial seats installed.



Mr. Alan Christman, CIMdata Chairman and primary author of the report noted that, “Even though there have been a number of recent mergers and acquisitions, the CAM software market continues to be highly-fragmented and competitive. There is no single vendor or small group of vendors that dominate the worldwide market. CIMdata tracks approximately 50 CAM software vendors and the rankings in the Report each list 20-30 vendors, depending upon the category.

The 2007 leading vendors on the basis of CAM software and services revenue received were Dassault Systèmes, Siemens PLM Software, PTC, Delcam, Planit Holdings, NDES (formerly Hitachi Zosen Systems), Tebis, Missler Software, Cimatron, and CNC Software. Dassault Systèmes is the clear leader with a market share of 15.1%. The remaining nine vendors in the top ten had a combined market share of 51.2% and the remainder of the vendors below the top ten had a combined market share of 33.7%.
