PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), today announced that it has been ranked a leading PLM solution provider in China by independent global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm CIMdata, Inc. For the third year running, PTC was named the #1 provider in the collaborative Product Definition management (cPDm) market segment.

The recent "2012 China PLM Market Analysis Report" describes the PLM market in China, which experienced a growth rate of 22.4% in 2011 and is projected to grow at a rate of 16.1% through 2016, to $1.35 billion.

"PTC continues to experience success in the China market due to the strength of its PLM offerings and its ongoing investment in the rapidly growing Chinese market," said Peter Bilello, President, CIMdata. "The China mainstream PLM market has repeatedly outpaced the growth of the global PLM market as Chinese manufacturers are paying more and more attention to product innovation and are fast improving their own R&D capabilities and processes by deploying PLM. PTC has established itself as a strong presence in the market and is well positioned to take advantage of market opportunities."

PTC's #1 ranking in the cPDm market segment reflects the success of its Windchill^® family of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions that enable manufacturers to do more throughout the product lifecycle, know more about product performance, and get more value from their PLM investment.
