In 2025, technological advances are driving manufacturing trends—AI intelligence, the rise of smart factories, more focus on sustainability and 3D printing, to name a few. The global manufacturing market is currently valued at $14.85 trillion. Here are some additional statistics.  \n56% of high-maturity organizations that prioritize project management and use software stay within budget compared to 21% of others.  \nManufacturing roles that require higher-level skills will grow the fastest until 2032.  \n37% of projects fail due to the lack of defined project objectives and milestones.  \n2025 is expected to bring 4.2% revenue growth in global manufacturing.  \n78% of surveyed manufacturing respondents indicated that AI initiatives are part of the overall digital transformation strategy.  \n77% of high-performing projects use project management software  \nLeverage the information in this eBook to positively impact day-to-day work and optimize processes to become more successful.  \n3  \nThe importance of manufacturing project management software  \nThe manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly, and teams need the right tools to recognize risks and opportunities to adapt and thrive. Static documents, email communication and outdated data are no longer sufficient. This is why manufacturing leaders rely on manufacturing project management software to track every stage of their projects.  \nProjectManager’s award-winning software is an all-encompassing solution for manufacturing teams, whether accessed on a computer or via the mobile app. Plan and track production using the Gantt chart, which tracks all four types of dependencies and allows drag-and-drop scheduling in real time. Use the kanban board to develop customized manufacturing processes and track planned vs. actual progress on dashboards to shorten lead times. In a few clicks, generate custom reports to share with stakeholders to keep them updated.  \n| Hi @Katy, here's the latest production report |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Production Report |  | .xls |\n| Tasks |  |  |\n| Not Started (8) | Complete (10) | In Progress (4) |\n|  | 4 |  |\n| 10 |  |  |\n\n8  \nStart free trial  \n4  \nFree templates  \nUsing pre-built templates is an easy way to jumpstart manufacturing initiatives while maintaining quality.
