Each entry is one organisation or plant receiving one award in one award year; multi-plant groups appear once for each award. The yearly figure ranged from 49 entries in 2020 to 98 in 2007 and 2012 (Figure 1).

Book a demoIndia: the largest base
India recorded 470 entries, 30.0% of the total, and its entries grew from 86 in 2006-10 to 154 in 2016-20 before 118 in 2021-25. Indian plants climb CII's certificate ladder and JIPM's award with the same evidence file, and MaintWiz holds it for both (TPM Excellence Award).
China and Thailand: the next two
China's 230 entries and Thailand's 216 sit far above the rest of the table, but their paths differ: China rose to 116 entries in 2021-25 while Thailand peaked at 89 in 2011-15. MaintWiz rolls OEE up from equipment to line and plant for groups adding plants at China's pace (TPM software for China).
Risers
Which countries are rising in JIPM TPM award entries?
Comparing the five-year windows shows two clear risers, China and Vietnam, and one market with a large, steady base, India. Entries from Indonesia held at 10 or 11 in the last two windows.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| India | 86 | 112 | 154 | 118 | Largest total; 118 entries in 2021-25 is 35.2% of all 2021-25 entries |
The countries whose entries fell between 2016-20 and 2021-25 include Thailand, India, Turkey, Taiwan, Mexico and the Netherlands. Their totals remain among the largest.

Industries
Which industries appear where the entry can be classified?
JIPM's winners list has no industry column. Industry is set only where the organisation or plant name states the business, or the company's own site does, and that leaves 688 of 1,569 entries classified (43.8%). Where classified, food, beverage and agri-food is the largest group, followed by food processing and packaging systems and automotive.
| Industry (where classified) | Entries | Share of classified entries |
|---|---|---|
| Food, beverage & agri-food | 282 | 41.0% |
| Food processing & packaging systems | 139 | 20.2% |
| Automotive & auto components | 88 | 12.8% |
| Steel & metals | 39 | 5.7% |
| Cement & building materials | 36 | 5.2% |
| Oil, gas & refining | 35 | 5.1% |
| Pulp & paper | 22 | 3.2% |

For buyers
What does the data mean for a plant choosing TPM software?
The archive shows a worldwide base of plants that have run TPM and plants that are starting now. Whichever group you belong to, the work is the same: keep tags, audits, training, safety and loss records for every pillar on one equipment list, with owners and target dates.
- If you are in a market with a large base such as India, China or Thailand, your assessors, suppliers and customers already know the language of the pillars; software that holds the evidence saves the preparation time.
- If you are in a market with a recent start such as Vietnam or Indonesia, a 6 to 8 week roll-out brings the entire TPM live while the routines are new.
- If you run several sites, an equipment-to-line-to-plant OEE roll-up and per-plant roles keep head office and plants on the same records.
MaintWiz covers all eight TPM pillars plus 5S, OEE, Kaizen and one point lessons in one AI CMMS, with a clickable dashboard for each pillar, mobile capture, IoT-triggered work orders and ePTW for the safety pillar. The entire TPM can be rolled out in 6 to 8 weeks: data loads through easy Excel uploads, the screens are intuitive, and the MaintWiz implementation team gives guided project management. MaintWiz is delivered as public software as a service, and records can be written in any script because it supports Unicode. Book a demo and bring your equipment list.
MaintWiz AI agents run on your plant's own records, such as tags, work orders and losses, and generate a list of what needs to be watched. The agent proposes and your team approves, so every action keeps a named owner.
| Market | What MaintWiz offers | Entries in the data |
|---|---|---|
| India | TPM software India: the evidence file for the CII ladder and the JIPM award, with SAP PM and MM | 470 |
| China | TPM software China: one equipment structure and an OEE roll-up across many plants | 230 |
| Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines | TPM software Thailand and ASEAN: records in Thai, Vietnamese or Bahasa Indonesia, with step audits kept current between assessments | 270 |
