The Chinese economy has been experiencing rapid development since the 1980s. From 1999 to 2009, many multinational companies entered, and are active in, the Chinese market. Due to increasing competition, the demand for industrial productivity has increased significantly. Moreover, production processes have become complex and increased in scale. Hence, end users pursue a single type of product or system that can address all the control issues. Distributed control systems (DCSs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), as the traditional automation and control solutions, are pervading in the modern Chinese industries. With the rapid technological development, these solutions tend to be applied in wider indus- trial processes. Chinese DCS and PLC markets witnessed significant growth from 2006 to 2008, and this situation is expected to continue during the forecast period.

This research service is based on the methodology that uses primary and secondary research to provide a comprehensive analysis of Chinese DCS and PLC markets. It provides an analysis of the key definitions, industry challenges, market drivers and restraints, revenue forecasts, and competitive trends in these markets.
