Brazil Overtakes China As Fastest Growing Medium Voltage Drives Market

巴西趕超中國成發展最快中壓驅動市場

February 28,2012 -- Growth in the Brazilian medium voltage drives market will outpace that of the Chinese market by 2% over the next three years, with revenue growth forecast at 18.5% annually in Brazil from 2011 to 2014, according to two new studies by IMS Research.

2月28日消息—— 根據IMS Research的兩份新報告表明，巴西中壓驅動市場在未來三年的增長將超過中國市場兩個百分點，從2011年到2014年，巴西市場每年的銷售預計增長率為18.5%。

The two markets are vastly different in size, as the Chinese market represents 28% of the global consumption of drives compared with Brazil’s 3% share. High growth in Brazil is predominately driven by oil & gas and mining expansion, as well as projects for infrastructure improvement. Brazil’s state-run energy company’s plan to achieve daily production of 500,000 barrels of oil from the Tupi field discovered off the coast of Brazil by 2020 is one of the many projects propelling growth.

這兩個市場的大小有很大不同，因為中國市場占了全球驅動市場的28%，相比，巴西僅占3%。巴西的高增長率主要是油氣和采礦擴張，以及基礎設施改善項目而帶動。巴西的國營能源公司計劃到2020年，在巴西海岸對開發現的圖皮油田實現每天生產5萬桶原油，是推動市場增長的眾多項目之一。

Increasingly, the Brazilian market is dependent on China’s demand for iron concentrate and crude petroleum, as China tops Brazil’s export countries. China has also increased its foreign direct investment in Brazil, with totals reaching almost $10 billion in 2010 and 2011, focused largely on the oil & gas and mining sectors.

巴西市場越來越多地依賴中國對鐵精礦和原油的需求，因為中國是巴西的主要出口國之一。中國也增加了其在巴西的海外直接投資，2010年和2011年的總額約達100億美元，重點集中于油氣和采礦領域。

Analyst Michelle Figgs explains, “With China’s need for raw materials fueling sales of medium voltage drives in Brazil, high forecasted growth for this market will depend in part on China’s future economic health. The good news for drives suppliers is the International Monetary Fund’s predictions include growth of China’s GDP to remain higher than any other country during the next few years, with economic expansion forecast at 9.4% in 2011 and 8.9% in 2012.”

分析師Michelle Figgs解釋道：“中國對原材料的需求推動著巴西中壓驅動的銷售，巴西市場的高增長預期將部分取決于中國未來經濟的健康發展。驅動供應商的好消息是，國際貨幣基金會預計，包括中國在內的GDP在未來幾年仍將高于其他國家，2011年和2012年的經濟增長率分別為9.4%和8.9%。”

Unlike Brazil, growth in the Chinese medium voltage drives market is slowing. Since June 2011, the Chinese Government has tightened monetary policies on bank loans, which has held up many large projects, such as high speed railways, city metros, highways, and factory renovation projects. Both end users and machine builders are facing financial strain from these policies as investments in many industries slowed quickly.

與巴西不同的是，中國中壓驅動市場的增長正在放緩。自2011年6月以來，中國政府已收緊銀行貸款的貨幣政策，這些銀行貸款托起了許多大型項目，如高速鐵路、城市地鐵、高速公路、工廠改造項目。這些政策使得許多行業的投資迅速放緩，最終用戶和機器制造商都面臨著資金緊張的局面。

Still, growth in the Chinese market will remain strong due to implementation of policies regarding motor efficiency and continued government support of energy -saving renovations in various industries including mining, metals, and oil & gas. Also, resumed investments are expected by the end of 2012 for  large scale projects, particularly those involving high speed railways, city metros,nuclear power stations and water conservancy. Average annual revenue growth in the Chinese market for medium voltage drives isforecast at 16.6% from 2010 to 2015.

盡管如此，​​由于實施電機效率政策，以及政府對采礦、金屬、油氣等多個工業領域節能改造的持續支持，中國市場的增長仍將保持強勁。此外，大型項目的投資預計到2012年底將恢復，特別是那些涉及高速鐵路、城市地鐵、核電站、水利投資項目。從2010年到2015年，中國中壓驅動市場的年均收入增長率預計達16.6％。
