The global market for programmable logic controllers(PLCs)suffered strong headwinds and contracted by 11.5 percent in 2015,with revenue falling to$8.3 billion,according to the IHS Markit PLCs Annual Intelligence Service.The market will continue to contract through 2016 for several reasons,including an unfavorable economic climate in emerging economies.Other concerns include China’s ongoing economic slowdown and overcapacity in most heavy industries,as well as the end of the commodity super-cycle.However,there is light on the horizon:global revenue from PLCs,with their associated software and services,are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate(CAGR)of 3.8 percent from 2017 to 2020,reaching$9.3 billion.

《IHS Markit PLC年度情报服务》显示，2015年全球可编程逻辑控制器（PLC）市场经历强烈的动荡，市场萎缩了11.5%，销售额下降到83亿美元。由于多种原因，包括新兴经济体不利的经济环境等，这一市场在2016年将继续萎缩。其他问题包括中国持续的经济放缓和大多数重工业的产能过剩，以及大宗商品超级周期的结束。但是，曙光来了：PLC及其相关软件和服务的全球收入，从2017年到2020年，预计将以3.8％的复合年增长率（CAGR）增长，达到93亿美元。
