This study covers the state of the Singaporean Automation and Controls Market, examining drivers and restraints for growth, distribution, technology, demand and geographical trends. Following from these, market growth for regional and market segments are forecasted. In addition, an in-depth analysis of the competitive situation including vendors' market shares is performed, along with detailed profiles of the key vendors in the industry. The base year is 2009 with forecasts running through 2016. Detailed analysis of seven Asia pacific countries is done as separate studies
Research Overview
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Automation and Controls Market in Singapore provides drivers, restraints, and challenges in this sector. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: programmable logic controllers (PLC), distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), human machine interface (HMI), manufacturing execution systems (MES), advanced control systems/advanced process system (ACS/APS), real time optimization and simulation (RTOS).
Market Overview
Economic Slowdown Spurs Companies on to Improve Plant Productivity through Automation
The global economic downturn has served more as a challenge than a restraint in the Singapore automation and controls market, as companies are now under greater pressure to enhance their productivity at lower costs. Singapore is not a cost-effective manufacturing hub and is constantly battling competition from low-cost production bases such as China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. 'As a result, there is higher emphasis on improving the plant productivity and reducing operational costs using the relevant control systems,' says the analyst of this research. Both vendors and end users prefer direct sales to channel sales for larger systems and products, if they have manufacturing assembly facilities in Singapore, as it lowers the price of the product.
The capital expenditure of installing automation systems may seem prohibitive to the cost-conscious consumers; hence, manufacturers need to educate them about the long-term cost benefits of these systems. The Singapore market is also well served by the stringent regulations and standards regarding the quality of manufactured goods. The control systems of most plants, especially in the industries of oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, and chemicals, are expected to reach the end of their lifecycle in the next few years, creating a plethora of opportunities for the market vendors. 'Automation vendors have strong system migration programs in place to assist customers in replacing their older system with a newer version,' notes the analyst. 'With the current open system architecture and system interoperability, automation vendors can target replacement sales at installed bases that traditionally belonged to their competitors.' All these factors contribute to creating a favorable environment for the growth of the automation and control systems market in Singapore.
