90+ Manufacturing Predictive Maintenance Statistics for 2025-2026

Predictive maintenance (PdM) has moved from pilot programs to production reality in manufacturing. The global PdM market hit $14.29 billion in 2025, and manufacturers account for the largest share of that spending at roughly 30-32% of the total market. The reason is straightforward: predictive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime by 30-50% and cuts maintenance costs by 18-25% compared to traditional approaches.

We compiled over 90 data points from McKinsey, Deloitte, the U.S. Department of Energy, Grand View Research, Fortune Business Insights, PwC, Mordor Intelligence, MaintainX, and other authoritative sources. Every statistic links to its original source so you can verify, cite, or use the data in your own maintenance strategy planning and capital investment proposals.
