General Market share Information on PLC Automation Control
Before talking about the market structure of PLC, Let me briefly talk about the so-called PLC, according to my personal understanding, you can think of it as a small computer. For everyone to understand, for example, when we want to press the button, we can start the motor on a device. This function is similar to the button function on the TV remote control. To do this, we must first The programming software writes a program, and then downloads the program to the PLC, then we connect the button to the input port on the PLC, the motor is connected to the output port, and then we press the button, the electrical signal will be sent to the PLC, and the PLC will then The signal is sent to the CPU, the CPU will process the received data result at this time and send it to the output port, and finally the output port will convert the data into the original electrical signal and apply it to the motor, and then the motor will start.
After having a simple understanding of PLC, let me introduce the competition pattern of China's PLC market. In 2020, Siemens has the largest share of 44.3% of the domestic PLC market, with Mitsubishi accounting for 12.9%, Japan's Omron accounting for 11.2%, American accounting for 5.4%, Delta accounting for 4.8%, and France's Schneider 4.5%.
Siemens accounted for the largest proportion also I expected, why? Siemens has always been the leader of industrial control, covering all PLCs from small, medium, and large-scale. It is only Siemens that competes with other companies in the entire industrial control field. Although in the United States accounts for only 5.4%, it is the absolute leader in the field of large PLCs. Why do you say that?
For high-end players such as Siemens and Schneider, PLC is not their main business or core product, but 's core value is PLC, and PLC business is very important to . As for why the strong technology share is small, it is actually because American companies are unwilling to adjust the characteristics of their products according to the needs of customers in the single market of China. I think the American way of thinking is: China is not an indispensable main market. , business is business, as long as the profit is high and the profit is made, what is the market share, that is what Asians and Europeans are keen on.
Schneider, Siemens, , and GE are mainly engaged in medium and large-scale PLCs with high technical barriers. For example, in the field of automobile manufacturing, in the United States has the most applications and ranks first, and Siemens is second. In the field of biopharmaceuticals, Schneider of France has the most applications, Siemens is the second, and GE is the third. In the tobacco field, Siemens products account for 60%-70% of the market share.
Japan's Mitsubishi and Omron mainly focus on small and medium-sized PLCs, and rely on high cost performance and channel advantages to occupy a certain market share.
Finally, to sum up, veteran drivers like Siemens and have been doing it for more than 30 years. They have invested a lot of time and capital in technology research and development, and have strong software writing, system integration, and ability to provide overall solutions.
