Gartner®: Market Guide for PLM in Food & Beverage Industries

The 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for PLM in the Food and Beverage Industries discusses the need for multiple software applications to manage the product life cycle effectively. It mentions the importance of choosing a purpose-built Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution tailored to specific industry requirements.

• The Food and Beverage (F&B) PLM market does not offer a single solution that satisfies all the needs of an F&B product life cycle. In practice, F&B manufacturers are using multiple software applications to address the different elements of PLM.
• Disparate solutions to manage product data struggle with data errors that delay product launches and lead to product recalls resulting from quality deficiencies and poor regulatory compliance.
• New PLM vendors are emerging and existing vendors are consolidating solutions to bridge the gaps in the F&B product life cycle.”
