Siemens Lead the Way in Chinese Control System Market
Shanghai, China - The results of a user survey recently carried out by IMS Research revealed that Siemens are, by far and away, the most recognised and used brand of control system in China.
Almost 75 per cent of respondents said that they were using Siemens products in their PLC-based control system; this percentage exceeded nearly 50% for Siemens PC-based control systems. A recent IMS Research report on the Chinese PLC market confirms this; with Siemens found to have more than 50% share of the PLC market.
A key question asked survey respondents to give the most important product attribute they considered, when specifying a control system. “Reliability” and “High Performance” were cited as the two most important factors. Of supplier attributes, “24-hour technical support offered”, “Existing relationship with supplier” and “Brand name of supplier” were ranked as the three most likely to be “essential” and “very important” factors, when specifying a machine control system. The most common reasons that Siemens is chosen by respondents, are its “High Performance” and “Brand Name of Supplier”.
