Here, the problem of determining \(\omega\)-periodic solutions to the matrix differential equation \[ \dot Z = AZ+ZB+\Phi(t)+\varepsilon f(t,Z) \tag{1} \] is considered. Under sufficiently general assumptions on the matrices \(A\), \(B\), \(\Phi\) and the \(m\times n\)-matrix function \(f(t,Z)\) \[ f(t,Z) = \sum_{k=1}^p \Psi_{0k}(t)Z\Psi_{1k}(t)Z\dots \Psi_{k-1,k}(t)Z\Psi_{kk}(t), \] necessary and sufficient existence conditions are established for \(\omega\)-periodic solutions to system (1). The conditions obtained are based essentially on the structure of the matrices \(A\) and~\(B\).
