In these industries, responsibility for asset availability is no longer the domain of maintenance alone as operators take a more active role in data collection and machine inspection.
Primary growth drivers are economic expansion in Asia, Eastern Europe, Brazil, and the Middle East. However, the lingering effects of the 2007-2009 recession are still being felt as global economic imbalance remains. Unemployment in the US remains high and uncertainty in Europe persists.
|
|
Asia and Latin America have been less affected. These imbalances will have an impact on growth of PAM solutions from a regional perspective. ARC expects growth in the global PAM market to continue to expand at above average automation industry growth rates as the benefits of PAM are too compelling to ignore.
