IMS Research Forecasts Slower Growth for Machine Vision
IMS Research預(yù)測機(jī)器視覺市場增長放緩
IMS Research(recently acquired by IHS Inc.) estimates the world market for machine vision was worth nearly $2.9 billion in 2011. According to the just published world machine vision report, revenues grew more than 10 percent in 2011.
IMS Research(最近已被IHS公司收購)預(yù)計(jì)2011年全球機(jī)器視覺市場總量約為29億美元。根據(jù)最新發(fā)布的全球機(jī)器視覺報告顯示,2011年?duì)I收增長超過10%。
The report goes on to explain the reasons why this level of growth is unlikely to be sustained during the forecast to 2016. “The main reason for the restricted growth of this industry is considered to be instability in many economies around the world, particularly those countries that have adopted the Euro,” commented John Morse, author of the new report.
該報告進(jìn)一步解釋了這一增長水平不太可能持續(xù)穩(wěn)定到2016年的原因。“這個行業(yè)增長受限的主要原因是全球的許多經(jīng)濟(jì)體,尤其是歐元區(qū)國家的不穩(wěn)定性。”這份新報告的作者John Morse評論道。
Morse continued:“The machine vision industry recovered well after the last recession as shown by the results of IMS Research’s free quarterly market tracker. However, revenue growth showed signs of slowing in the second half of 2011. Many manufacturers expressed caution about growth in 2012 and beyond.”
Morse繼續(xù)表示:“IMS Research的季度市場跟蹤結(jié)果顯示,機(jī)器視覺行業(yè)自上一次經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退后復(fù)蘇良好。然而,收入增長表明,在2011年下半年有放緩的跡象。許多制造商對2012年及以后的增長持謹(jǐn)慎態(tài)度。”
The views of manufacturers echoed the findings of other recent IMS Research reports that present lower revenue forecasts than in previous editions. Generally, growth over the next five years will be less than previously forecast.
廠商的觀點(diǎn)呼應(yīng)了IMS Research其他最新研究報告的成果,也是比先前版本的收入預(yù)測要低??傮w而言,未來五年的增長率將低于先前預(yù)測。
“It is not all bad news,” added Morse. “Despite manufacturing estimated to account for more than 80 percent of machine vision revenues, there is a trend towards machine vision products being used outside the manufacturing environment. For example: high quality security and surveillance, traffic monitoring, and control and medical.”
“也不全是壞消息。”Morse補(bǔ)充道。“盡管制造業(yè)占估計(jì)超過80%的機(jī)器視覺收入,但機(jī)器視覺產(chǎn)品應(yīng)用于制造環(huán)境之外的趨勢也在加大。例如:高質(zhì)量安全與監(jiān)視、交通監(jiān)控、控制以及醫(yī)療。”
Machine vision manufacturers have always proven themselves to be very resourceful and this continues with new developments frequently being announced. These include new types of camera and communication technology which are necessary to meet customers’ requirements for more information to be captured and transmitted at faster speeds. This commitment to continuous development is likely to ensure long-term prosperity for the machine vision market and keep it ahead of the game, particularly during times of economic uncertainty.
機(jī)器視覺制造商一直證明自己是有策略的,而且這一情況隨著新的開發(fā)成果不斷被宣布而得以繼續(xù)。這包括滿足客戶對信息獲取更多并以更快速度傳輸?shù)囊笏匦璧男滦蛿z像頭和通信技術(shù)。不斷開發(fā)的努力很大可能確保了機(jī)器視覺市場的長期繁榮并保持領(lǐng)先,特別是在經(jīng)濟(jì)前景不明朗時期。
