Process Simulation & Optimization Market Research
FIVE-YEAR MARKET ANALYSIS AND TECHNOLOGY FORECAST THROUGH 2020
PSO SUPPORTING NEW WORK PROCESSES, STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
This ARC Advisory Group market re-
search report explores the current state of
the Process Simulation & Optimization
(PSO) software market, considers future
trends that will impact both suppliers and
end customers, discusses the market posi-
tions of the leading suppliers, and recom-
mends strategies for success.
Today’s process simulation tools help us-
ers create reusable workflows and auto-
mate data authoring. The new work pro-
cesses created enable people to focus on
more value-adding activities. Automated
creation of engineering deliverables like
process flow diagrams, piping and in-
strument diagrams, and equipment data
sheets greatly simplify the handover be-
tween project engineering groups and ul-
timately to the owner-operator.

Process simulation solutions that offer bet-
ter integration across engineering, manu-
facturing, and supply chain with enhanced
usability and easier workflow will drive
adoption across industry.
Leaders also realize the requirement to
meet the needs of today’s tech-savvy
younger generation and improve the user
interface with visualization tools. These
technology advancements will be matched
by a complement of self-serve training
tools to help decrease the learning curve
for new users.

STRATEGIC ISSUES
Users are exhibiting cautious optimism
toward investments in process simulation
solutions. To help their cause, suppliers
must increase their value proposition to
users, answering questions such as:
• How can suppliers increase their value
proposition?
• How can end customers make an in-
formed purchase decision?
• Are different strategies required for new
installations vs. retrofit?
• How critical is initial cost in relation to
life cycle cost?
