CIMdata consulting and research firm announced that the Advance Packet of Key Data from Version 16 of the NC Software and Services Market Assessment Report is now available and that the full report will soon be issued. This annual report contains 78 charts and tables and is approximately 200 pages in length.

• sizing of the NC software and services market.
• distribution of the market by nine factors such as geography and industry.
• a 64 page discussion of major industry trends and key technologies in manufacturing, machining, the NC software market and NC software.
The following chart presents the distribution of the NC software market by industry segment.

Other large industry segments were in automotive and aerospace, which generated 20% and 13% of worldwide NC software revenues, respectively.
