MES Market Report 2025-2031
Global Market Analysis: Sizing, Forecasts, Tech Stack Evolution, & Vendor Landscape
MES Market Size & Trends (2025-2031)
The global Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) market reached $5.5 billion in 2024. Forecasts indicate a valuation of $8.7 billion by 2031. Data indicates that 54.4% of small- and medium-sized manufacturers rely on manual methods, such as pen and paper or spreadsheets. Legacy methods are being replaced as users can now start small with modular MES architectures and scale as their needs evolve.
This report details the transition to modular MES architectures enabled by IT/OT convergence. It defines 11 novel capabilities, foremost among them Generative AI (GenAI), Unified Namespace (UNS), and Digital Twin integration.
