中国工业软件行业发展研究报告

Core Viewpoint - The industrial software industry is at a critical juncture, necessitating urgent development driven by innovation and supported by favorable policies. It serves as a core production material and key productivity for new industrialization, emphasizing the importance of self-control and supply chain security [1][4]. Industry Dynamics - The evolution path of industrial software is transitioning from tools to systems, then to platforms, and finally to genetic models, focusing on data value in the latter stages [2]. - The market is large, with a projected size nearing 300 billion yuan in 2024, but challenges such as core technology gaps and imbalanced industrial structure are prominent [1][17]. Product Development - Currently, industrial software is primarily sold as products, but it is expected to shift towards selling "intelligence" as data assets are effectively accumulated and utilized, leading to the emergence of industrial intelligent agents [3]. Development Background - Industrial software is crucial for innovation and transformation in the economy, with the shift of control from hardware to software becoming increasingly evident. The encapsulation of industrial knowledge in software is essential for optimizing production processes [4][7]. Driving Factors - Policy support and technological advancements, particularly in AI and large models, are accelerating the development and application of industrial software. Cities are introducing subsidy policies to stimulate innovation in this sector [12][14]. - Demand from enterprises emphasizes practical market needs while also considering domestic alternatives, with government and research institutions focusing on top-level planning and integration [14]. Market Characteristics - The industrial software market is characterized by a significant gap in core technologies, particularly in R&D design software, which is the most affected area by the "bottleneck" phenomenon. The imbalance in the industrial structure shows a stronger presence of management software compared to engineering software [17][19]. Industry Value Flow - The industrial software value distribution follows a "smile curve" model, where the closer to core technology, the higher the barriers and profits. The rise of data value services is expected to create new growth opportunities [30]. Profit Models - Current profit models for industrial software include software licensing, maintenance, and customized development, with ongoing exploration of platform and ecosystem revenue sharing [33]. Future Directions - The industrial software industry is expected to evolve towards platformization and genetic modeling, focusing on enhancing data flow efficiency and value. The future will see products transforming from mere tools to intelligent agents capable of autonomous task execution [48][52].
