2008 China PLC market research report (Abstract)
China's PLC market scale in 2007 reached RMB5.235 billion, growth rate reached 15.59%. Over 93.4 percent of china’s PLC market is occupied by foreign brand; the market share of domestic manufacturers can almost be ignored. The products from Europe and United States long-term occupy large and medium-sized PLC market, and Japanese brand in small size PLC market is about the same situation, but we can still see domestic brands strengthen continuously, like the brand growth of Delta, Hollysys, Yade and Xinjie.
However, the macroeconomic environment became worse and worse ,the increasing speed of PLC application will be lower and the application of PLC keep in increasing in all.
In the period of Eleventh Five-Year ,the increasing speed of big and medium PLC was higher than that of small PLC,in the following several years ,the application of big and medium PLC will keep in increasing, and the application of small PLC will be in unsteady ,for example the textile and machine tool industry were influenced by RMB appreciation and the state industry policy, and will result in the small PLC application less, meanwhile, the policy of strengthening the infrastructure will result in the big and medium PLC application more in the rail transportation and aerospace industry.
The growth rate of PLC market in 2007 – By I / O number
In different I / O number product area, suppliers and user groups are notable differences, so we divided PLC market into large (> 1024 I / O), medium (256 - 1024 I / O) and small (0 - 256 I / O) markets.

Industry Application
For a long time, the PLC is always the mainstream products of industrial automation control for a variety of equipment offering control application, the PLC applications is mature and extensive , especially in industries of discrete manufacturing and hybrid control. Textile, metallurgical, automotive, food and beverage, electronics, chemical, petrochemical, power, building materials, and public facilities are the main areas of PLC application, in which PLC applications exceeded RMB 0.1 billion.
The main application of medium PLC is in the OEM industry. Of course, metallurgy and automobile, and other large and medium-sized PLC application-based businesses, there are also a considerable number of external auxiliary equipment needed to be controlled by small size PLC, which is why small size PLC has performance in non-traditional OEM.
Medium-size PLC is mainly used in OEM industry and project integration. Textile, automobile, metallurgical and electronics manufacturing is the most widely used industries.
As the largest application industry branch of large-size PLC, metallurgical industry occupies the largest marke.Large PLC has a little application in OEM, but for the smaller base, growth is not obvious. Application of large PLC had a concentration in industry increasingly, which are in metallurgy, electricity and cars, it was decided by the features of large-size PLC product.
Main Brand
China’s PLC market is still led by brands from EU, US and Japan in 2007. Siemens wins the first rank, occupies nearly one third market. The turnover of Mitsubishi, Schneider, Rockwell ,Omron, GE Fanuc、Delta ，LS and Koyo reach 2.995 billion, to form the number two group. The main brands of number one and number two groups occupy nearly 91.6% market share.
If you need the detail about the revenue and market share of the brands mentioned above, please contact +86 75582904207 or send email to yxl@ca800.net
Analysis for users’ purchasing behavior
1. Two-third of new PLC will apply to new equipment
60.3 percent added PLC will apply to new equipment; the rest will apply to updating and transformation. It’s an important opportunity for the PLC manufacturers that users are replacing their products; also it’s a chance to consolidate manufacturer’s existing market or take over other brands’ market. Generally speaking, technical upgrade is the major factor of product replacing, while the second factor is the low possibility to get the alternative of damaged components or technical support could not satisfy the requirements. Therefore, PLC manufacturer should pay attention to the upgrading of their products in the side of end users, the module replacing, and the technical support, etc.
2. Channels for users to get information
Users think the foremost channel to get product information from professional website, the 2nd way is through PLC manufacture’s website, and the 3rd is from professional magazine.
