AI IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: GLOBAL RESEARCH STUDY

Thank you for participating in CIMdata's first global study on AI adoption in product development.

ABOUT THIS RESEARCH
This survey explores how industrial organizations are adopting AI throughout product development—from concept and design through Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) creation. We focus on engineering and product development activities, excluding manufacturing execution, IoT operations, and post-production support.

WHAT WE MEAN BY "AI"
Throughout this survey, "AI" includes:
• AI assistants and copilots (e.g., embedded help, contextual guidance, chat interfaces)
• Generative AI (e.g., content creation, code generation, image synthesis)
• Machine learning (e.g., predictive analytics, recommendations, optimization)
• Autonomous AI agents (e.g., agentic workflows, multi-step task automation)

YOUR RESPONSES
Throughout this survey, "your organization" refers to your company or business entity as a whole (or your division/business unit for multi- divisional companies), not your immediate team or department.  

Please answer from this organizational perspective rather than personal opinion. If you're unsure about an organizational question, you can select "Don't know" or "Too early to assess."


YOUR PARTICIPATION

Time required: approximately 25 minutes
Confidentiality: Your responses are anonymous and reported in aggregate only
Results: You can opt in at the end to receive a summary of key findings
