The World PLC Market faced another decline for 2013

全球PLC市場2013年再度下滑

After a downturn in 2012, the global PLC market declined again in 2013, with revenue falling by 2.1 percent annually.

經曆2012年的低迷之後，全球PLC市場在2013年再次萎縮，年度營收下降2.1％。

As the most mature market, Europe had the largest base for PLC sales in terms of revenue. However, it is very slowly dragging itself out of recession. With tight fiscal policies, tight credit conditions in several countries, excess industrial capacity and still relatively weak export demand, there are few signs of a strong upturn in the near future. In light of the lack of strong domestic market demand, the PLC market had encountered a small decline as a whole.

歐洲作為最成熟的市場，在PLC銷(xiao)售(shou)收(shou)入(ru)方(fang)麵(mian)占(zhan)據(ju)最(zui)大(da)的(de)份(fen)額(e)。但(dan)是(shi)，歐(ou)洲(zhou)本(ben)身(shen)走(zou)出(chu)衰(shuai)退(tui)的(de)過(guo)程(cheng)比(bi)較(jiao)緩(huan)慢(man)。隨(sui)著(zhe)財(cai)政(zheng)緊(jin)縮(suo)政(zheng)策(ce)

The U.S. market for PLCs is positive; the housing market continues to recover, consumer spending is rising, export markets are improving and the pace of capital spending is increasing. Because of that, the overall market for PLCs in the United States is growing strongly.

美國PLC市場還比較積極。房產市場持續複蘇
，消費支出不斷上升，出口市場正在改善，資本支出的步伐也在加快。正因為如此，美國PLC市場整體增長強勁。

Looking at end-user sectors, the fastest growing segments are the oil and gas and food and beverage industries.

縱觀終端用戶行業，增長最快的領域是石油和天然氣，以及食品和飲料等行業。

Asia Pacific, which has been one of the fastest growing regions in the past few years, had faced a much slower growth rate than before. China’s market is the most likely reason for that.

China’s leadership has singled out financial stability as its most important objective, with only moderate stimulus applied. Because of that, many investments have been delayed. Besides, China—as an export-focused market—had faced weakening demand from its leading trading partners, such as Europe. The PLC market had faced two-sided pressure from both domestic and foreign markets.

The Japanese market, however, had a good year. The Japanese government had pushed forward strong economic incentive plans since 2012 by applying fiscal stimulus, engaging in monetary easing and implementing structural reforms. But when turning into the U.S. dollar, the market showed a decline in growth because the currency had depreciated by more than 10 percent in terms of exchange from the Yen to the U.S. dollar.
