Instrumentation Automation Market Status and Development

Energy-saving, emission-reducing, and low-carbon economy have become a long-term development trend that has led to a number of rapidly developing new industries. For example, wind power, nuclear power, smart grids, high-speed trains, and rail transit, these industries have set new requirements for instrumentation. Although many instrumentation suppliers' products cannot directly generate low carbon benefits, suppliers themselves can provide advanced instrumentation to increase user productivity, improve product quality, monitor emissions, and contribute to a low-carbon economy.

In 2012, the automation market was a year in which both challenges and opportunities coexisted. When manufacturing demand fell, exports shrank, OEM markets operated at a low level, and investment in the project-based market continued to be cautious, but there were no shortages of highlights: Petrochemical and chemical industry investments remained strong in 2012. The energy saving and environmental protection market continues to create new automation needs. In this context, Hu Rong, Director of Market Research at gongkong, and Chen Ran, Director of Dynamic and Dynamic Market Research Center shared and discussed with the participants the 2012 market automation analysis and development trend, and the development trend of the 2012 industry automation market. analysis.

From the perspective of the development trend of mainstream automation vendors, with the growth of the stock market, service business has become the direction of growth of mainstream vendors. At the same time, Mr. Hu Yun shared with everyone the market opportunities and development directions of instruments and meters in the fields of petrochemicals, coal chemical industry, energy conservation and environmental protection. It is worth mentioning that in the field of process automation, people not only focus on process safety products and systems, but also pay attention to safe operation and implementation of safety protection measures.

In the second half of the speech, Chen Ran analyzed the status quo of Q1 and Q2 automation markets in 2012 through a series of data. In the second quarter, the automation market shrank by 11% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.3% compared with the previous quarter. In the second quarter, the overall market industrial control index was 120, of which the industrial control index for the OEM industry was 143 and the industrial control index for the project-based market was 106. Judging from the market performance this year, the second quarter automatization market is not the economic downturn, and the market in the third quarter may be at the bottom. This does not mean that all industries are shrinking. The mining machinery, medical equipment, construction machinery and foodstuffs in the OEM market are still in a steady growth trend; the hydropower industry is in an upward trend from the perspective of industrial industry market analysis, papermaking, machinery, In the short term, building materials, printing, thermal power, and wind power will not see any rebound.

How to solve the cold market of automation manufacturers? According to their own conditions, different companies will boldly innovate their sales strategies and change their thinking; they can extend the market to small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in China and help them complete the transformation and upgrading of production and production. These are the opportunities for automation vendors.
