Executive Summary
The industrial asset management (IAM) landscape is being reshaped by mounting pressure to cut downtime, extend asset life and align with decarbonization goals, amid growing asset complexity and workforce disruption. As firms shift from reactive maintenance to predictive, lifecycle-oriented strategies, new demands for integrated platforms, intelligent automation and cross-functional collaboration are emerging. At the same time, vendors are transforming their go-to-market models by blending software, services and AI to deliver guaranteed outcomes. Asset management is becoming a core lever for achieving business-wide goals around cost, risk and sustainability. This report explores how industrial firms will modernize asset strategies over the next five years, the evolving roles and responsibilities that will support this transition, and the technologies redefining how asset value is delivered.Summary for decision-makers
