The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the manufacturing execution systems market. Exhaustive secondary research has been done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. To validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research has been the next step. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation methods have been used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments. Two sources of information—secondary and primary—have been used to identify and collect information for an extensive technical and commercial study of the manufacturing execution systems market.
Secondary Research
Various secondary sources have been referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect information important for this study. The secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; journals and certified publications; and articles from recognized authors, websites, directories, and databases. Secondary research has been conducted to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the market’s value chain, the total pool of key players, market segmentation according to the industry trends (to the bottom-most level), regional markets, and key developments from market- and technology-oriented perspectives. The secondary data has been collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, further validated by primary research.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after gaining knowledge about the current scenario of the manufacturing execution systems market through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with experts from the demand and supply sides across four major regions—North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and RoW. This primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.
Note: RoW mainly comprises the Middle East, Africa, and South America.
Other designations include product managers, sales managers, and marketing managers.
Three tiers of companies have been defined based on their total revenue as of 2024; tier 3: revenue lesser than USD 500 million; tier 2: revenue between USD 500 million and 1 billion; and tier 1: revenue more than USD 1 billion.

Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall size of the manufacturing execution systems market from the market size estimation process explained above, the total market has been split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed, wherever applicable, to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments of the market. The data has been triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. Along with this, the market size has been validated using both top-down and bottom-up approaches..
Market Definition
The Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) market refers to software designed to maximize real-time factory production management by integrating operational technology (OT) with information technology (IT). Unlike enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, MES offers granular visibility, control, and coordination of the manufacturing process at the shop floor level. These systems maximize production efficiency through optimized monitoring, quality assurance, workflow automation, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Propelled by Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, and real-time analytics needs, MES solutions assist manufacturers in minimizing downtime, enhancing agility, and maximizing the use of resources. Industries such as automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and food & beverage depends on MES for smooth production, supply chain synchronization, and improved decision-making.
