Under the wave of new industrialization construction, industrial software ushered in a good time for development. Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that in the past three years, the scale of China’s industrial software market has grown steadily, the supply capacity has been effectively improved, and the development environment has been continuously optimized, providing strong support for the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
The application of industrial software covers the whole life cycle of industrial products and all aspects of enterprise production and operation. From the analysis of industrial software industry chain, the upstream is mainly hardware and software manufacturers that provide basic services for the manufacturing of industrial software products, including hardware manufacturers such as computer equipment, operating systems, development software and middleware. The middle reaches include embedded software, R&D and design software, production control and management software, information management software and other industrial application software. Recent data show that in the first three quarters of 2023, China’s industrial software product revenue was 1976 billion yuan, an increase of 11.8%.
At present, the growth rate of China’s industrial software market is much higher than the international average level, according to the application needs of industrial software, it can be divided into research and development design, production scheduling and process control, and business management. It is worth mentioning that in the context of intelligent manufacturing, R & D and production control software plays an important role, but for now, R & D and design software is the biggest weakness of domestic industrial software.
On October 10, 2023, Suzhou Haochen Software Co., LTD. (referred to as “Haochen Software”), A domestic R & D and design industrial software provider, successfully landed on the Science and Technology innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and became a listed enterprise of R & D and design industrial software. Intelligent Manufacturing network learned that Haochen Software with many years of CAD related business research and development experience, core technology accumulation, product innovation ability and industry experience, has become one of the largest number of users of legitimate CAD software manufacturers. The listing of Haochen software also plays a positive role in the development of industrial software in China.
On May 24, Beijing Shenzhou Aerospace Software Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Aerospace Software”), A specialized software enterprise controlled by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, successfully landed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and held an initial public offering A-share listing ceremony. It is reported that the products of aerospace software in industrial software mainly include project management system, product data management system, manufacturing execution system, industrial big data system, management and control software series.
The industrial software market has great potential, and the market size is increasing, but at the same time, there will be more industrial software manufacturers emerging, and the market competition will be more intense.
In the future, with the continuous development of the new generation of information technology such as industrial Internet, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the application field of industrial software will also continue to expand, which will bring more opportunities and challenges to the development of the industrial field. From the symposium on “Promoting the high-quality development of Industrial Software” held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in Beijing on August 3, it was learned that it will make greater efforts to support the development of industrial software, constantly improve policies and measures, and enhance the development level of industrial software.
