Industrial Ethernet set to increase strongly in China’s booming sectors
工业以太网在中国新兴行业增长强劲

The market for Ethernet infrastructure components in Chinese industry is set to grow strongly, but the opportunity will vary with the strength of the vertical sector.

中国工业的以太网基础设施组件市场将强劲增长，但机会将根据垂直行业的实力而有所不同。
 
According to a newly published report “The Chinese market for industrial Networking & Ethernet” from IMS Research, nearly $120 million of industrial Ethernet infrastructure components were sold in China in 2009 and growing with estimated 20% more in 2010. “The Chinese market is still far from saturation compared with the industrialized world as a whole”, comments analyst Alex Hong. “With many new plants and projects started recently, the demand for Ethernet components will continue to grow explosively.”

根据IMS Research最新公布的《工业网络和以太网中国市场》报告，2009年，中国工业以太网基础设施组件的销售额大约是1.2亿美元，而2010年这个数字预计增长超过20%。“与工业化国家作为一个整体相比，中国市场还远未达到饱和”，分析师Alex Hong评论道。“随着许多新工厂和项目的最近开工，以太网组件的需求将继续爆炸式增长。”
 
The vertical industry sector is important when projecting growth prospects. More than 30% of the revenues in China are coming from the power & energy industries. Chinese Government policy, such as the Strong and Smart Grid Plan and strong support for renewable energy development, helps rapid growth in this industry sector. Transport and traffic is also an important vertical sector, the stimulation plan for infrastructure construction still having an effect on sales of industrial Ethernet components.

在规划增长前景时，垂直行业非常重要。中国超过30%的收入来自电力和能源产业。中国政府的政策，比如智能坚强电网计划和对新能源发展的大力支持，使得这个行业快速发展。运输及交通也是一个重要的垂直部门，对基础设施建设的刺激计划仍然影响着工业以太网组件的销售。
 
Without doubt, the success of vendors of these components will depend on the sectors they best serve. Vendors with a focus in electric power generation and transmission or in transportation will win large revenues, if they keep in mind that the Chinese market, as always, is very price-conscious.

毫无疑问，这些组件供应商的成功将取决于他们提供最佳服务的行业。把重点放在发电和输电或者运输的供应商将赢得巨大的收益，如果他们记住中国市场一如既往地，是对价格非常敏感的。
 
Oil & gas could also be an interesting sector in the future. Although it is considered to be virgin territory for industrial Ethernet components in China, with a relatively small user base, potential market growth is very promising. However, certification is important in these applications, which may prove an obstacle for the Ethernet vendors in this market.

石油和天然气将来也可能会成为一个令人关注的领域。尽管它被认为是中国工业以太网组件的一块处女地，用户群相对较小，但潜在市场增长前景非常看好。不过，认证在这个领域的应用非常重要，这可能成为以太网供应商在这个市场的一个障碍。
