ARC says process automation systems market to hit $47 billion by 2011

ARC預(yù)測2011年過程自動化系統(tǒng)市場將達(dá)470億美元
 
Dedham, Massachusetts; December 9, 2007: Process industry automation continues to experience solid worldwide growth as plants must continue to improve performance. End users facing globalization are driving plant performance at a level that would be inconceivable without modern process automation systems and business processes. As a result, automation systems for process industries will experience healthy growth. The worldwide market for process automation systems is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% over the next five years. The market was nearly $30 billion in 2006 and is forecasted to grow to over $47 billion in 2011, according to a new ARC Advisory Group study.

馬薩諸塞Dedham12月9日消息——流程工業(yè)自動化繼續(xù)經(jīng)歷著全球穩(wěn)定的增長，因此工廠必須繼續(xù)改善業(yè)績。最終用戶所面臨的全球化正在推動工廠業(yè)績在一定的水平上，這就不能想象沒有現(xiàn)代的過程自動化系統(tǒng)和業(yè)務(wù)流程。因此，流程工業(yè)的自動化系統(tǒng)將獲得健康的成長。過程自動化系統(tǒng)的全球市場預(yù)計在未來五年內(nèi)將以9.6%的年復(fù)合增長率增長。根據(jù)ARC咨詢集團(tuán)的一份研究表明，2006年的市場份額是近300億美元，預(yù)計到2011年將增加至470多億美元。

Process automation technologies help achieve industry business objectives for improved plant utilization, yields, product quality, availability, safety, flexibility, and delivery performance. “Constant cost pressure in process industries leaves no alternative but to improve plant performance, and process automation technologies play a key role in achieving this,” according to Senior Analyst Himanshu Shah, the principal author of ARC’s “Automation Systems for Process Industries Worldwide Outlook.”

過程自動化技術(shù)幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)工業(yè)業(yè)績目標(biāo)，改善工廠利用率、產(chǎn)量、產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量、可用性、安全性、靈活性以及供應(yīng)能力。高級分析師、ARC的“過程工業(yè)自動化系統(tǒng)全球展望”一文的主要作者Himanshu Shah表示：“過程工業(yè)不斷的成本壓力使得沒有其他選擇，只能改善工廠的性能，而過程自動化技術(shù)在實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)方面發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵作  用。 ”                                                                                                               

Globalization Drives Growth
全球化推動發(fā)展

Many trends are emerging as a result of globalization, which means more markets, more products, and more partners. Opportunities expand, but so do the challenges for global manufacturers. Companies are selling their products around the world and they are facing competition from a growing number of global players.

全球化帶來的一個結(jié)果就是眾多趨勢的顯現(xiàn)，這意味著更大的市場，更多的產(chǎn)品，以及更多的合作伙伴。機(jī)會是增多了，但對全球的制造商的挑戰(zhàn)也更大了。這些公司在全球銷售其產(chǎn)品，他們也正面臨著全球越來越多廠商的競爭。

One reason the automation systems business will do so well over the next few years is the huge list of challenges and changing conditions in the global business environment that manufacturers must respond to. These challenges include globalization, the need to act quickly and with agility to emerging market opportunities, dealing with a shrinking base of educated and well trained personnel, and increasing pressure to improve financial performance. These challenges are driving a significant change in the way that end users approach everything they use to control production, engineering, operations, and maintenance across the manufacturing enterprise.

自動化系統(tǒng)業(yè)務(wù)在未來數(shù)年將發(fā)展良好的一個原因就是制造商必須對一系列巨大的挑戰(zhàn)和不斷變化的全球業(yè)務(wù)環(huán)境狀況做出反應(yīng)。這些挑戰(zhàn)包括全球化、對新興市場機(jī)會需要敏捷地迅速采取行動，解決受過良好教育和訓(xùn)練人員的萎縮情況，以及日益增加的改善財務(wù)績效壓力。這些挑戰(zhàn)使終端用戶在其整個制造企業(yè)實(shí)現(xiàn)一切可用于控制生產(chǎn)、工程、運(yùn)營以及維護(hù)的方法上，產(chǎn)生極大的改變。

Automation is a ticket to be a participant in this flat world, and therefore, process automation products are expected to have robust growth as they are used across industrial segments, ranging from Food & Beverage and Metals & Mining to Chemical and Water & Waste industries.

自動化是成為扁平世界參與者的一個通行證，因此，流程自動化產(chǎn)品預(yù)計有著強(qiáng)勁的增長，因為它們用于整個工業(yè)領(lǐng)域，從食品飲料和金屬采礦，到化學(xué)和水與廢物工業(yè)。

Regional Scenarios
區(qū)域設(shè)想 

ARC takes a look at the leading indicators shaping the growth of the global automation marketplace, from capacity utilization to productivity and industrial production, and how these will affect the market in the coming years. Despite troubles in the US and Canadian economies, the global outlook for automation and manufacturing remains bright. Higher energy prices continue to contribute to increased capital investments and large project backlogs for oil, gas and refining companies. The pharmaceutical and biotech industries remain strong, and growth in Asia and other developing regions remain high. Asia remains the center of growth, but the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Latin America continue to show strong growth as well.

ARC從產(chǎn)能利用率到生產(chǎn)力和工業(yè)生產(chǎn)，以及在未來幾年這些將如何影響市場來觀察促使全球自動化市場增長的主要指標(biāo)。盡管美國和加拿大的經(jīng)濟(jì)遇到困難，但全球自動化和制造業(yè)的前景依然光明。更高的能源價格繼續(xù)促使石油、天然氣和煉油公司增加資本投資和大型項目的訂單。制藥和生物技術(shù)行業(yè)仍保持強(qiáng)勁，而亞洲和其他發(fā)展中地區(qū)的增長仍然很高。亞洲仍是增長的中心，但中東、東歐和拉美等也繼續(xù)表現(xiàn)出強(qiáng)勁的增長。
