SIS Services to Become the Largest Process Safety System Market in 2015
安全儀表系統服務將在2015年成為最大的過程安全系統市場
A key finding from IHS’s recent study on ‘The World Market for Process Safety Systems – 2013 Edition’ is that the global safety instrumented system (SIS) service market is set to surpass $1bn in revenues to become the largest market for process safety systems in 2015.
IHS一份最新的研究報告《全球過程安全系統市場——2013版》顯示,全球安全儀表系統(SIS )服務市場在2015年將超過10億美元的銷售額,成為過程安全系統的最大市場。
SIS hardware was the largest market in 2012, accounting for 49% of total revenues. However, with a projected CAGR of almost 13% (between 2011 and 2017), the SIS services market is set to become the highest dollar value market; representing promising growth opportunities for automation vendors.
2012年,SIS硬件是最大的市場,占總收入的49%。然而,隨著近13 %的預測年均復合年增長率(2011年至2017年),SIS服務市場將成為最高金額數值市場;代表著自動化廠商的增長機會大有希望。
New Safety Standards Driving Growth
新的安全標準推動增長
A primary growth driver of the process safety systems market is the revisions to the international safety standards (IEC 61508 and IEC 61511) in 2010. The release of these latest standards has promoted investment in SIS worldwide, as end users attempt to comply.
過程安全系統市場的主要增長動力是在2010年修訂的國際安全標準(IEC 61508和IEC 61511 )。這些最新標準的發布促進了SIS的全球投資,因為最終用戶試圖遵守。
Revisions to the standards have helped to increase the awareness of safety. The demand for services at each stage of the safety lifecycle is rising, from concept and scope definition to decommissioning and replacing the safety system. Many end users have begun to carry out assessments of their facilities, as a result of the revisions, to verify whether or not they comply, which alone has created an additional demand for services. End users are turning to their automation supplier or specialist service providers to support this, as often the required knowledge and expertise is not available in-house and third-party assessments can give greater credibility and confidence that standards have been met. Subsequent modifications required in order to comply further augment demand means multiple service elements must be carried out to implement a change to a safety system according to the standards.
修訂標準有助于提高安全意識。在安全生命周期的每個階段,從概念和范圍定義到安全系統的退役和更換,對服務的需求都呈上升趨勢。標準修訂的一個結果,就是許多最終用戶已經開始對其設施展開評估,以確認它們是否符合標準,因此產生了對服務的額外需求。最終用戶正在轉向他們的自動化供應商或專業服務提供商來支持這一點,因為通常所需要的知識和專長內部無法提供,而第三方評估可以提供更好的信譽和更多符合標準的信心。為了遵守進一步擴大的要求所需的后續修改,意味著必須執行多個服務組成,從而實現根據標準變更了的安全系統。
Market Outlook
市場展望
In the foreseeable future, as global safety awareness, compliance with standards and the SIS installed base continue to grow, SIS service growth will remain higher than that of hardware and software.
在可預見的未來,隨著全球安全意識、符合標準和SIS安裝基數的不斷提升,SIS服務的增長仍將高于硬件和軟件。
It is unfortunate (but unsurprising) that disasters remain the largest driver of safety. In the aftermath of disasters, the industry responds in attempt to avoid a similar series of events that preceded the incident. In addition to the potential catastrophic impact on human life and the environment, damage to the corporate image is another risk associated with a safety-related incident. Large fines and a negatively perceived brand can severely constrain profitability, with possible consequences including governments enforcing restrictions on business operations, a disassociation of key business partners and a loss of customers that can have devastating effects on an end user. In extreme cases, criminal prosecution of CEOs is also a possible consequence. With so much at stake, increasingly corporations want to ensure that a systematic approach has been taken to manage safety. SIS services have become recognized as critical as part of this and are widely considered fundamental to implementing an effective SIS.
不幸的災害(也毫無意外地)仍然是安全的最大驅動因素。在災害發生之后,安全系統行業試圖避免類似的一系列事故發生前的事件。除了對人類生活和環境潛在的災難性影響,損害企業形象也是與安全相關事件的另一種風險。巨額罰款和消極的品牌認知會嚴重制約盈利能力,有可能產生的后果包括政府強制執行的限制業務經營、主要業務伙伴和客戶的流失,對最終用戶造成破壞性影響。在極端情況下,對企業負責人的刑事起訴也是可能的后果。正因為有這么多的風險,越來越多的公司希望確保有一個系統化的方法用于管理安全。 SIS服務已經被公認是作為這一部分的關鍵組成,被廣泛認為是實施有效SIS的根本。
The industry continues to take positive steps towards operating safely. Standards are being updated more regularly and regulations are becoming more stringent. More importantly, more end users are actively following recommended guidelines that are aimed at reducing risk, and services will continue to grow in supporting this.
該行業為了系統安全地運行而繼續采取積極步驟。標準的更新更頻繁,法規也越來越嚴格。更重要的是,更多最終用戶積極跟進旨在降低風險的建議指南,而為這點提供支持的服務業務無疑將繼續增長。
