Frost & Sullivan says debt crisis in Europe will affect PLC sales
Frost & Sullivan表示歐債危機將影響PLC銷量
February 20, 2012 - The European programmable logic controllers (PLC) market witnessed a heavy decline in growth in 2009, owing to the recession of 2008. However, it made a strong recovery in 2010 with all major market participants in Europe experiencing high growth.
2月20日消息——歐洲的可編程邏輯控制器(PLC)市場由于2008年的經濟危機,在2009年經歷了嚴重的增長回落。然而,2010年,伴隨著歐洲主要企業取得的高速增長,使得其實現了強勁的復蘇。
The sovereign debt crisis afflicting the Eurozone will determine the future prospects of the European PLC market. In the meantime, however, the market is likely to grow steadily over the forecast period aided by the emergence of major Eastern European economies as manufacturing hubs for the rest of Europe.
困擾歐元區的主權債務危機,將決定歐洲PLC市場未來的發展前景。但在此期間,由于主要東歐經濟體作為其他歐洲國家制造中心的出現,市場在預測期內很可能穩步增長。
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, European Programmable Logic Controllers Market, finds that the market earned revenues of €1563.7 million in 2010 and is estimated to reach €2597.3 million in 2017.
Frost & Sullivan的一份新報告《歐洲可編程邏輯控制器市場》表明,2010年歐洲PLC市場的銷售額為15.637億歐元,預計到2017年,這一數字達到25.973億歐元。
“The global economic crisis and the sovereign debt crisis of Europe have created an atmosphere of uncertainty, with fewer projects expected in the next 2 years,” cautions Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Karthik Sundaram. “This is poised to have a significant impact on the general industrial automation market and on the European PLC market.”
Frost & Sullivan高級研究分析師Karthik Sundaram警告道:“全球經濟危機及歐洲主權債務危機造成了極大的不確定性,預計未來2年的項目將更少。這給通用工業自動化市場和歐洲PLC市場產生重大影響。”
The European PLC market is expected to experience moderate growth during the forecast period. The small and medium PLC product segment will be instrumental in sustaining market growth and expansion in the coming years.
歐洲PLC市場有望在預測期內取得溫和增長。中小型PLC產品將在未來幾年實現持續的市場增長和擴張。
A major trend defining the market will be increasing end user concerns over cyber security.
市場的一個主要趨勢就是,終端用戶對網絡安全的關注越來越多。
“Cyber security is expected to be the key parameter in safety regulations and standards that are about to be introduced in January 2012,” explains Sundaram. “The growth of the European PLC market in future will be driven by the need for enhanced cyber security, globalised service support and affordable product models.”
Sundaram解釋道:“網絡安全預計是將于2012年1月公布的安全法規和標準的關鍵參數。對更高網絡安全的需求,全球化的服務支持,以及負擔得起的產品型號,這些因素將推動未來歐洲PLC市場的增長。”
On the competitive front, intense competition between tier-1 companies is causing dramatic improvements in the PLC market, leading to the emergence of new products with improved design and control capabilities that surpass traditional definitions.
在競爭方面,第一層企業之間的激烈競爭造成PLC市場的顯著改善,導致新產品的出現,改進設計和控制能力,超越傳統的定義。
“Enhanced efficiency, need for regulatory compliance and improved safety and control capabilities will be key growth factors for the European PLC market during the forecast period,” concludes Sundaram.
Sundaram總結道:“提高效率,合規性的需要,以及安全性和控制能力的提高,將是預測期內歐洲PLC市場增長的主要因素。”
