Automation Expenditures for Upstream Oil & Gas
As economic conditions improve, increasing demand and rising prices for
natural gas and crude oil will continue to drive significant growth in
the global oil and gas industry. With access to only a
minority percentage of proven reserves, integrated oil companies must
attempt to replace their reserves in remote areas that are much less
hospitable and more dangerous — both environmentally and
politically. This is driving huge expenditures in large, complex,
and difficult capital projects in the production segment.
|
Additive Manufacturing Systems
The
synergy of digital modeling with additive manufacturing is a driving
force for adoption in the market that will sustain double digit growth
rates over the next five years. Manufacturers seek a competitive
advantage with additive manufacturing systems in an effort to overcome
hurdles in traditional design processes. The possibilities of
designing complex structures, cost effectively, allows manufacturers to
envisage concept designs previously cost prohibitive due to development
constraints.
|
SCADA Systems for Water & Wastewater
The
far-reaching impact of technology and the resulting change in the way
companies are restructuring and streamlining business processes are
transforming the global Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
market. Driven by the need to improve the sustainability of water
utility infrastructure, the worldwide market for SCADA systems for the
water & wastewater industries is expected to see strong growth over
the next five years.
|
Discrete Automation I/O Modules
The
market for discrete I/O module sales showed strong growth in 2011. In
2012, ARC expects the growth to drop to a low level, but will rise again
in 2013 and beyond. The market for discrete I/O modules is mainly
driven by two forces: an increasing need for decentralized
solutions and the need for more information resulting in more measurement
on the production floor.
|
Automation Expenditures for Pharmaceutical &
Biotech Industry
Even with
tight automation expenditure budgets and the continuing global recession,
the market for automation products and systems in the pharmaceutical and
biotech industry remains moderate to strong. However, much of the
current automation focuses on projects with immediate return on
investments. These are projects that are the result of
consolidation of manufacturing operations, standardization of
applications across the entire enterprise, new multi-product biotech
processing lines, and product serialization.
|
Automation Systems Market Outlook for Mexico
Mexico is
a significant market for manufacturing and automation products. In
2011, Mexico received almost 20 billion dollars of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI), consolidating Mexico as one of the top recipients of
FDI among emerging economies in the world. Mexico’s manufacturing
industry and the financial services sector are top among the most preferred
investment targets. Among the manufacturing sectors, the main
recipients are automotive, iron & steel, beverages, and chemicals.

ARC Inside: Business Benefits with Automation
|
March 25-28,
2013 - Orlando, Florida
|
Improved yield,
equipment uptime, costs, and reliability provide key challenges for all
manufacturing and asset-intensive organizations today. Industry
leaders are under enormous pressure to address these issues and need
improved visibility, business process automation, and modern systems. ARC
is pleased to participate in ABB Automation and Power World 2013.
At ARC Inside, several of our analysts will be making presentations and
participating in various panel discussions. We will also be available
for one-on-one discussions with the attendees. We encourage you to
plan to attend this content-rich conference.
