Pressure Transmitter Market to Reach $2.3 Billion by 2011 

壓力傳送器市場在2011年將達23億美元

July 5, 2007 -- Driven by a stronger emphasis on plant asset management (PAM) and safety applications, the worldwide market for pressure transmitters is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% over the next five years.  The market was $1.8 billion in 2006 and is forecasted to be over $2.3 billion in 2011, according to a new ARC Advisory Group study. 

7月5日——受到人們對工廠資產管理(PAM)和安全應用更大關注的驅動，根據ARC咨詢集團一份新的研究報告顯示，在未來的五年里，全球壓力傳送器市場預計將以5.2%的綜合年增長率的速度增長。該市場在2006年的份額是18億美元，而在2010年，預計超過23億美元。

Propelled by a booming automation market and robust capital expenditures, the pressure transmitter market has seen strong growth in recent years.  Going forward, the market will continue to grow at higher than average rates, thanks to the continued emphasis on PAM and smart instrumentation, and an expected upswing in the adoption of wireless transmitters. “Much of the installed base of pressure transmitters needs to be upgraded to leverage PAM applications, representing a huge opportunity for suppliers to replace existing conventional transmitters with smart units,” according to Analyst Allen Avery, the principal author of ARC’s “Pressure Transmitter Worldwide Outlook”.

近些年來，隨著自動化市場的膨脹以及大量的資本投資，壓力傳送器市場在高速增長。由于對PAM和智能儀器的持續關注以及可以預計的采用更多的無線傳送器，這一市場在未來將繼續以高于平均率的速度增長。ARC“全球壓力傳送器前景”報告的主要作者、研究員Allen Avery表示：”大部分安裝了壓力傳送器的工廠需要升級以促進PAM應用，這對供應商而言代表了一個替換現有傳統傳送器為智能傳送器的巨大商機。“

PAM and Safety Applications to Drive Market Growth

PAM和安全應用驅動市場增長

With a variety of suppliers from which to choose and advanced features such as plant asset management that give manufacturers a window into the health of their equipment and processes, users are applying pressure transmitters more extensively in their plants.  Recent industrial accidents in the oil & gas sector have brought safety to the forefront for the process industries, and have highlighted the need for better process measurements.  This is driving the increasing adoption of reliable SIL- rated transmitters for Safety Instrumented Systems.

隨著有眾多的供應商可以選擇以及例如工廠資產管理等高級功能為制造商提供了一個其設備和過程進入良好狀況的窗口，用戶在其工廠開始更廣泛地應用壓力傳送器。最近在油氣領域發生的工業事故把安全性推到了流程工業的最前端，也突顯了對更好過程測量的需求。這促使安全儀器系統采納了越來越多的SIL額定的可靠傳送器。

Wireless Technology Gaining Momentum

無線技術贏得動力

While still in its early stages, the adoption of wireless field devices will dramatically affect the dynamics of the market for pressure transmitters and other field devices.  Wireless technology will allow users to economically connect field devices to take process measurements that would not have been feasible before, due to the cost of wiring.  The recent release of the WirelessHART standard is a watershed moment for the adoption of wireless field devices, and will have a significant impact on the pressure transmitter market in the years to come.

雖然仍然是早期階段，無線現場設備的采用將極大影響壓力傳送器和其他現場設備市場的動力。無線技術將使用戶以較經濟的方法連接現場設備用于過程測量，而這在以前由于配線成本的原因是無法切實可行的。WirelessHART標準的新近發布是無線現場設備的采用的一個分水嶺時刻，并且對未來數年的壓力傳送器市場產生重大的影響。

The Middle East and Asia Offer Highest Growth Potential

中東和亞洲市場具有最大增長潛力

Regionally, suppliers can expect to see the largest growth in the Middle East, due to its high concentration of oil & gas activities and in Asia, where heavy investment in new plant construction continues in core sectors such as chemical & petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and steel production, where pressure transmitters are used extensively.  In the mature North American and Western European markets, suppliers will largely rely on replacement business.

在區域性上，供應商可以預計中東由于其高度集中的油氣業務，亞洲在例如化學和石化、油氣、能源以及鋼鐵生產等需要廣泛應用壓力傳送器的核心領域繼續大量投資于新工廠的建設，因次具有最大的增長率。在成熟的北美和西歐市場，供應商將極大依靠更換業務。
