Abstract
This Manufacturing Insights study is one of a series that looks at the
heterogeneous manufacturing sector and accompanying manufacturing enterprise
application (EA) player landscape in key Asia/Pacific markets. The study
provides an overview of the key drivers, structure, operating environment, and
direction of the manufacturing sector in China, and against this backdrop, it
examines the competitive landscape and dynamics of the important manufacturing
EA markets in 2005. This study also covers profiles of five manufacturing EA
vendors in the country.
"Despite the possibility of the Chinese economy overheating in the year ahead,
the tremendous growth and its momentum will continue to fuel higher levels of
IT spending among manufacturers in the country," says Ng Buck Seng, associate
director, Asia/Pacific Manufacturing Research, Manufacturing Insights. "With
this as the backdrop, we can expect to see the leading global and local EA
players extend their value propositions and portfolio of offerings in key
sub-verticals, in addition to increasing focus on the SME manufacturing segment
- as they battle each other for supremacy in the China manufacturing market,"
he adds.
