ARC预测2011年过程自动化系统市场将达470亿美元
 
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.

马萨诸塞Dedham12月9日消息——流程工业自动化继续经历着全球稳定的增长，因此工厂必须继续改善业绩。最终用户所面临的全球化正在推动工厂业绩在一定的水平上，这就不能想象没有现代的过程自动化系统和业务流程。因此，流程工业的自动化系统将获得健康的成长。过程自动化系统的全球市场预计在未来五年内将以9.6%的年复合增长率增长。根据ARC咨询集团的一份研究表明，2006年的市场份额是近300亿美元，预计到2011年将增加至470多亿美元。

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.”

过程自动化技术帮助实现工业业绩目标，改善工厂利用率、产量、产品质量、可用性、安全性、灵活性以及供应能力。高级分析师、ARC的“过程工业自动化系统全球展望”一文的主要作者Himanshu Shah表示：“过程工业不断的成本压力使得没有其他选择，只能改善工厂的性能，而过程自动化技术在实现这一目标方面发挥了关键作  用。 ”                                                                                                               

Globalization Drives Growth
全球化推动发展

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.

全球化带来的一个结果就是众多趋势的显现，这意味着更大的市场，更多的产品，以及更多的合作伙伴。机会是增多了，但对全球的制造商的挑战也更大了。这些公司在全球销售其产品，他们也正面临着全球越来越多厂商的竞争。

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.

自动化系统业务在未来数年将发展良好的一个原因就是制造商必须对一系列巨大的挑战和不断变化的全球业务环境状况做出反应。这些挑战包括全球化、对新兴市场机会需要敏捷地迅速采取行动，解决受过良好教育和训练人员的萎缩情况，以及日益增加的改善财务绩效压力。这些挑战使终端用户在其整个制造企业实现一切可用于控制生产、工程、运营以及维护的方法上，产生极大的改变。

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.

自动化是成为扁平世界参与者的一个通行证，因此，流程自动化产品预计有着强劲的增长，因为它们用于整个工业领域，从食品饮料和金属采矿，到化学和水与废物工业。

Regional Scenarios
区域设想 

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从产能利用率到生产力和工业生产，以及在未来几年这些将如何影响市场来观察促使全球自动化市场增长的主要指标。尽管美国和加拿大的经济遇到困难，但全球自动化和制造业的前景依然光明。更高的能源价格继续促使石油、天然气和炼油公司增加资本投资和大型项目的订单。制药和生物技术行业仍保持强劲，而亚洲和其他发展中地区的增长仍然很高。亚洲仍是增长的中心，但中东、东欧和拉美等也继续表现出强劲的增长。
