The World PLC Market faced another decline for 2013
全球PLC市場(chǎng)2013年再度下滑
After a downturn in 2012, the global PLC market declined again in 2013, with revenue falling by 2.1 percent annually.
經(jīng)歷2012年的低迷之后,全球PLC市場(chǎng)在2013年再次萎縮,年度營(yíng)收下降2.1%。
As the most mature market, Europe had the largest base for PLC sales in terms of revenue. However, it is very slowly dragging itself out of recession. With tight fiscal policies, tight credit conditions in several countries, excess industrial capacity and still relatively weak export demand, there are few signs of a strong upturn in the near future. In light of the lack of strong domestic market demand, the PLC market had encountered a small decline as a whole.
歐洲作為最成熟的市場(chǎng),在PLC銷售收入方面占據(jù)最大的份額。但是,歐洲本身走出衰退的過(guò)程比較緩慢。隨著財(cái)政緊縮政策,一些國(guó)家收緊了信貸條件,工業(yè)產(chǎn)能過(guò)剩和出口需求仍相對(duì)疲軟,在近期強(qiáng)勁復(fù)蘇的跡象不多。由于缺乏強(qiáng)勁的國(guó)內(nèi)市場(chǎng)需求,PLC市場(chǎng)遭遇了整體的小幅下降。
The U.S. market for PLCs is positive; the housing market continues to recover, consumer spending is rising, export markets are improving and the pace of capital spending is increasing. Because of that, the overall market for PLCs in the United States is growing strongly.
美國(guó)PLC市場(chǎng)還比較積極。房產(chǎn)市場(chǎng)持續(xù)復(fù)蘇,消費(fèi)支出不斷上升,出口市場(chǎng)正在改善,資本支出的步伐也在加快。正因?yàn)槿绱?,美?guó)PLC市場(chǎng)整體增長(zhǎng)強(qiáng)勁。
Looking at end-user sectors, the fastest growing segments are the oil and gas and food and beverage industries.
縱觀終端用戶行業(yè),增長(zhǎng)最快的領(lǐng)域是石油和天然氣,以及食品和飲料等行業(yè)。
Asia Pacific, which has been one of the fastest growing regions in the past few years, had faced a much slower growth rate than before. China’s market is the most likely reason for that.
亞太地區(qū)一直是過(guò)去幾年增長(zhǎng)最快的地區(qū)之一,相比以往,現(xiàn)在也面臨著增長(zhǎng)速度大幅趨緩的情況。這其中最可能的原因,是中國(guó)市場(chǎng)。
China’s leadership has singled out financial stability as its most important objective, with only moderate stimulus applied. Because of that, many investments have been delayed. Besides, China—as an export-focused market—had faced weakening demand from its leading trading partners, such as Europe. The PLC market had faced two-sided pressure from both domestic and foreign markets.
中國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層已經(jīng)提出金融穩(wěn)定作為其最重要的目標(biāo),因此只實(shí)施溫和刺激。正因?yàn)槿绱?,許多投資被推遲。此外,中國(guó)作為一個(gè)以出口為主的市場(chǎng),其主要貿(mào)易伙伴,比如歐洲,也正面臨著需求減弱的情況。PLC市場(chǎng)面臨著來(lái)自國(guó)內(nèi)和國(guó)外市場(chǎng)的雙重壓力。
The Japanese market, however, had a good year. The Japanese government had pushed forward strong economic incentive plans since 2012 by applying fiscal stimulus, engaging in monetary easing and implementing structural reforms. But when turning into the U.S. dollar, the market showed a decline in growth because the currency had depreciated by more than 10 percent in terms of exchange from the Yen to the U.S. dollar.
日本市場(chǎng)卻有一個(gè)好年頭。自2012年起,日本政府啟動(dòng)了強(qiáng)有力的經(jīng)濟(jì)激勵(lì)計(jì)劃,通過(guò)財(cái)政刺激,實(shí)施寬松貨幣政策,并進(jìn)行結(jié)構(gòu)性改革。不過(guò),一旦轉(zhuǎn)換成美元,市場(chǎng)增速卻是下降的,因?yàn)槿赵獌稉Q美元,貨幣已經(jīng)貶值了超過(guò)10%。
