Furthermore, regulatory compliance, the demand for customization, sustainability considerations, and the complexities of global supply chains are major drivers in the industry.

“Edge computing segment is expected to grow with highest CAGR during forecast period”

Edge computing is a networking technology that moves data storage and computing closer to the source of data. Edge computing technology segment in digital thread market is expected to grow with highest CAGR during forecast period. Edge computing uses digital threads to process data in real time. It combines data from edge devices into centralized systems, allowing for localized decision-making. It improves predictive maintenance, bandwidth optimization, and data security. By doing so, the digital thread with edge computing reduces latency and simplifies compliance, ensuring the system's overall efficiency for responsive and intelligent operations in remote environments.

“Automotive segment holds the largest market share of digital thread market in 2023”

The automotive industry holds the largest share in digital thread market, as it requires the management of very complex manufacturing processes with extended supply chains and tight regulatory compliance. With digital threads, fully integrated data across a vehicle's lifecycle-from design and production onwards-fosters innovation, personalization, and efficiency. This also enables the industries to meet the standards of safety requirements, efficient supply chains, and cost economy; thus, digital threads are indispensable for automotive processes.

“Cloud-based digital thread segment is expected to grow with highest CAGR during the forecast period”

The digital thread market is segmented into two deployment types such as on-presmises and cloud-based. The cloud-based digital thread category is predicted to develop at the highest CAGR due to its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. Cloud solutions include real-time data processing and integration, remote access and collaboration, and powerful analytics and AI tools. These advantages encourage the spread of cloud-based digital threads because they offer a more adaptive and cost-effective solution to managing and optimizing complicated data across industries.
