Investments in the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors are forecast to drive growth in the

global PLC and PLC-based PAC markets over the next five years. PLC technology-based PACs are

projected to continue increased use in process industries, with PACs gradually replacing large

distributed control systems (DCS), especially in emerging economies.

The oil & gas and food & beverage industries would represent the fastest growing end-use

sectors of PLCs. The market for PLCs in the US is expected to be positive, owing to the recovering

housing market, rising consumer spending, improving export markets and growth in capital

spending. With Europe gradually coming out of recession, the region is expected to continue

leading PLC sales in terms of revenue; China and India would lead the Asia-Pacific PLC market in

the near future.

KeyDrivers

* PAC is a two or more processor-based device like a personal

computer (PC) it is a PC merged with a PLC using multitasking

capabilities to automate control of one or more

pieces of equipment.

The PLC market grew in 2013 due to thedeveloment in the process-based industries; the hydraulic fracturing boom bolstered PLC sales for theoil and gas industry in North America. Nano and small PLCs are expeced to grow at a faster pace than medium or large PLCs, as end users look for large-scale functionality.
