In this Gartner® report, we think you’ll learn:
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.”
Gartner, Market Guide for PLM in Food and Beverage Industries, Brady Barnes, Sudip Pattanayak, Marc Halpern, Michelle DeClue, 2 June 2025.
