ARC Advisory Group Report: ABB leads DCS market for 20th consecutive year
ARC顧問集團報告：ABB連續20年引領DCS市場

In a growing market expected to reach $17.4 billion globally by 2023, a market analysis report by the ARC Advisory Group, an industry analyst firm, confirms that ABB increased its share of the Distributed Control System (DCS) market to 20.0 percent, retaining its leadership position for the 20th year running.

根據行業分析公司ARC顧問集團的一份市場分析報告，在預計到2023年全球市場規模將增長到174億美元的情況下，ABB將其分布式控制系統（DCS）市場的份額提升至20%，連續20年保持領先地位。

According to the report, ABB’s presence in many end-user industries was a major factor in this success. The DCS market saw its main growth in oil & gas, chemicals and refining, where also ABB has a strong footprint.

根據該報告，ABB在許多終端用戶行業中的布局是取得成功的主要因素。ABB在油氣、化工和煉油領域等DCS主要增長市場也布局較廣。

In the process and hybrid industries, DCS are the heart of plant-level digitalization. They automatically control production processes, thus assuring production availability, maximum asset utilization, process efficiency and product quality. Ultimately, DCS enable safe, smart and sustainable goods production, power generation and water purification to enhance the lives of people around the world.  

在流程和混合行業，DCS是工廠級數字化的核心。他們自動控制生產過程，從而確保生產有效性，將資產利用率、過程效率和產品質量最大化。最終，DCS可以實現安全、智能和可持續的商品生產、發電和水凈化，從而改善世界各地人民的生活。

ABB’s DCS is also a collaboration tool that integrates electrification, instrumentation, automation, telecommunications and safety. Supplementing its production role, data is gleaned from DCS to derive improvement actions that customer and ABB experts employ to drive plant and enterprise operations.

ABB的DCS也是一種將電氣化、儀表、自動化、通訊和安全集成在一起的協作工具。作為生產角色的補充，DCS所收集的數據讓客戶和ABB專家用于推動工廠和企業運營的改進措施。

An example of the technology that producers turn to is ABB’s single-channel Select I/O. With its digital marshalling capability, Select I/O allows users to engineer large capital projects with maximum flexibility and resilience to late changes.

該技術幫助生產者的一個例子是ABB的單通道Select I / O。通過其數字編組功能，Select I / O允許用戶以最大的靈活性和對后期變更的彈性設計大型資本項目。

ARC’s report suggests that services are likely to be a fast-growing segment of the DCS market. In addition to traditional services, ABB invests heavily in remote-enabled, software-assisted services that are important contributors to DCS security, performance improvement and lifecycle evolution.

ARC的報告表明，服務可能會成為DCS市場的快速增長部分。除傳統服務外，ABB還對遠程支持的軟件輔助服務進行了大量投資，這些服務是對DCS安全性、性能改進和生命周期演進的重要貢獻。

ABB is involved in industry bodies and user associations such as the Open Process Automation Forum, NAMUR, and OPC Foundation, to develop and promote open standards and interoperability, ensure customer-focused technology development and foster collaborative industry leadership.

ABB積極參與行業機構和用戶協會，例如開放過程自動化論壇、NAMUR和OPC基金會，以開發和促進開放標準和互操作性，確保以客戶為中心的技術開發，并培養行業協作領導力。

Looking ahead, emerging countries continue to be a key focus for market development. A resurgence of the global oil & gas upstream industry, expansion of the chemical industry in Asia, and development of the global Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) market are a few of the trends driving growth forecasts for DCS.

展望未來，新興國家仍然是市場發展的重點。全球油氣上游產業的復蘇、亞洲化工業的擴張以及全球液化天然氣市場的發展是推動DCS增長預測的幾個趨勢。
