Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) software serves as a digital tool utilized for assessing and enhancing the efficiency and productivity of manufacturing equipment. This software enables manufacturers to monitor and analyze various aspects of equipment performance, identifying opportunities for improvement and optimizing production processes.
The primary types of OEE software include supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), manufacturing execution systems (MES), cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP), predictive maintenance solutions, and data historians. SCADA systems comprise software and hardware components enabling industrial organizations to control processes locally or remotely, gather real-time data, interact with devices such as sensors and valves through human-machine interface (HMI) software, and log events. Key functionalities of OEE software encompass availability calculation, performance assessment, quality evaluation, real-time monitoring, root cause analysis, and predictive analytics. These offerings are available through various deployment modes, including on-premises and cloud, catering to industries such as aerospace, automotive, chemical, food and beverage, healthcare, metals and mining, oil and gas, power generation, electronics, semiconductors, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The overall equipment effectiveness software market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides overall equipment effectiveness software market statistics, including overall equipment effectiveness software industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a overall equipment effectiveness software market share, detailed overall equipment effectiveness software market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the overall equipment effectiveness software industry. This overall equipment effectiveness software market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The overall equipment effectiveness software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $65.7 billion in 2024 to $74.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in the use of ERP software, the rising adoption of IoT and AI across manufacturing industries, increasing adoption of automation, the growing focus on productivity and efficiency improvement, and need to increase equipment performance.
The overall equipment effectiveness software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $117.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of the usage of industrial automation, increase equipment performance, improve output, cut costs, and boost efficiency, growing use of ERP software for performing several functions across various sectors, growing demand for advanced OEE software solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include integration with other software systems, use of cutting-edge technology, impact of technological advancements, rapid technological advancements in OEE software solutions, and rising integration of MES with PLM and ERP solutions.
The forecast of 12.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Import restrictions and tariffs on sensor kits and industrial edge devices could impact real-time data collection necessary for equipment effectiveness analytics. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growth of the overall equipment effectiveness software market is expected to be driven by increasing industrial automation. Industrial automation involves the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies to manage various processes and machinery in industries, reducing the need for human intervention. This adoption aims to enhance efficiency, lower production costs, improve product quality, and bolster safety in manufacturing and industrial operations. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) software plays a crucial role in industrial automation by offering a framework to measure, analyze, and enhance the performance of manufacturing equipment. For example, a report by the International Federation of Robotics noted a 5% year-on-year growth rate in global factory installations of industrial robots, reaching 553,052 installations by September 2023. Thus, the rise in industrial automation contributes to the expansion of the overall equipment effectiveness software market.
Leading companies in the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) software market are focusing on developing advanced technological solutions, such as cloud computing, to enable real-time data access, remote monitoring, and ease of use. Cloud computing refers to the provision of computing services over the internet, allowing businesses to access software and resources without the need for extensive on-premises infrastructure. For example, in February 2023, FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics, a UK-based company in the manufacturing sector, launched its Next Generation Machine Monitoring System. This cloud-based software integrates real-time OEE tracking, which is vital for identifying productivity bottlenecks and enhancing manufacturing processes. The system uses plug-and-play hardware to monitor machine downtime and operational efficiency, providing manufacturers with immediate insights into factory operations. A key upgrade includes a native messaging feature that enables direct communication between factory floor staff and management, ensuring faster responses to operational issues and promoting better collaboration. Additionally, the platform enhances the user experience for machine operators with redesigned workspaces and new tablet hardware, improving both functionality and security.
