The Engineering Intelligence Index 2025 examines how engineers are navigating the growing complexity of software-defined products. Based on survey data from engineering leaders across manufacturing industries in the US and Europe, the report provides a fact-based overview of current challenges, costs, operational and technology needs, AI-readiness, and emerging practices in engineering.
And one insight is impossible to ignore: 75% of engineers now spend at least one-third of their time on admin, coordination, and chasing siloed information.
