The AnyLogic Team is very happy to see the growing support from the worldwide simulation community. This market and mind share analysis above is based on the limited data that is available, but simple comparison of the LinkedIn and WinterSim data (Figure 3) is a good argument for the conclusions on the market state and trends being the right ones. There is also a couple of INFORMS conferences, but those are dedicated mainly to other types of analytics and non-dynamic simulation.ĪnyLogic is also the only tool that has its own annual Conference attended by 100+ simulation professionals where tens of industry case studies are presented each year. These numbers are not provided as the only tool from the chosen set that is used by the System Dynamics community (along with the traditional SD software) is AnyLogic. The other conference to consider is the International System Dynamics Conference. The data also shows that tools with agent-based or multimethod capabilities are used as widely as discrete event only, which is attributed to AnyLogic’s success.

The dynamics of the WinterSim “mind share” over the last four years is shown in Figure 2.Īrena®, a discrete event only tool and one time the absolute leader and virtual standard for simulation has shown a rapid decline in popularity over the past few years due to new technology becoming available.

Papers where the tool was not referenced did not count even if it was used.Papers written by vendors and papers explicitly sponsored by vendors did not count.Papers describing cases where a tool was applied to solve a real problem (tutorials, overviews, comparisons, papers on simulation technology or methodology did not count).The number of case studies at the Winter Simulation Conference were counted following these rules: It became the largest one in spring 2016 and by December 2016 it had over three thousand members. The AnyLogic community is the one that grows most rapidly. The dynamics of LinkedIn user groups in the last two years is shown in Figure 1. Number of simulation case studies published at the major conferences, e.g.

AnyLogic has been the innovation and technology leader for many years, and is now also the most used simulation software with the largest user community.Īlthough there is no official research on the size of the market and the market shares (and software revenue numbers are not public), indirect data was used to make estimations. In 2016 AnyLogic acquired global leadership in the market of simulation tools for business applications.
