October 23, 2025

PwC announced that it was cited as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Connected Product Engineering Services, Q4 2025.

Commenting on PwC, the report mentions the following:

  • Strategy. PwC has a clear vision that helps clients figure out how to insert connected products into their roadmaps with confidence. Continued investment in innovation sees PwC expand and extend its existing network of centers of excellence to more fully address adjacent technologies, such as robotics and autonomous systems.
  • Capabilities. PwC excels at strategic criteria, including business model innovation and culture change, and taps the Surfaceink heritage to also perform well in the very different world of physical product design and prototyping.
  • Customer feedback. Customers enthuse about the hands-on nature of interactions with PwC’s product designers and the depth of support it provides while selecting and securing contract manufacturing resources halfway around the world.
  • Forrester’s take. PwC can help clients at any point in their connected product journey, but it really shines at powering ideation and design at the start and coordinating manufacture and delivery at the end of that journey.
