TechNavio today launched its report Global Programmable Logic Controllers Market 2011-2015 based on an in-depth study covering the Americas and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the significant trends impacting this market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Engineering team said; ”The integration of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) with various enterprise applications is one of the emerging trends in the market. Many manufacturing companies need enterprise-wide integrated PLC applications, especially PLCs that are integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. The enterprise-wide PLC increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the manufacturing plant. It also enables operators to manage the entire plant automation system with real-time information. In addition, a few automation vendors have started to develop strategic alliances with various ERP vendors to provide enterprise-wide PLC applications. Therefore, many vendors have started to enhance their market position by providing enterprise-wide PLC applications.”
According to the report, the APAC region shows large potential for process industries, which in turn creates demand for PLCs and other automation products in the APAC region. In addition, many automation vendors have started to focus on the APAC region because it is growing at a faster rate than the other geographies.
Further, the report also discusses that the high cost of customer switching is one of the major challenges in the market.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key players.
