Abstract
US demand to reach $15.4 billion by 2011
US demand for industrial controls is forecast to rise 2.9 percent annually
through 2011 to $15.4 billion. Gains will be supported by the continual
technological advancement of solid-state control products, which will enable
producers to improve their productivity and remain competitive on a global
scale. Growth will also benefit from increasing strength in the aerospace and
motor vehicles industries, as well as a projected upturn in electrical and
electronic shipments through 2011. Advances will be restrained, on the other
hand, by a relatively mature US market for these products, as well as by
competition from personal computers (PCs) programmed to perform
control-related functions.
Advanced industrial controls to outpace conventional controls
Demand for advanced controls is expected to continue to grow more rapidly than
that of conventional controls, as the advanced type provides superior
performance and production capabilities. Industrial control related software
and system integration services will continue to bolster overall demand in the
advanced controls segment. As these products become more technologically
intricate, system integration services and industrial control software will
continue to be highly demanded. Among conventional controls, marine controls
are expected to post notable gains, benefiting from an acceleration in
military shipbuilding activity and strong national defense expenditures
through 2011.
Study coverage
It presents historical US demand data for 1996, 2001 and 2006 as well as
forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by control type and market. The study also
considers market environment factors, assesses industry structure, evaluates
company market share data and profiles 31 US industry competitors, including
Honeywell, Rockwell, Eaton, Schneider Electric and General Electric.
