Since the mid-1990s, the intelligent controller industry has become more and more mature. As an independent industry, its development is promoted by dual forces. One is market-driven, the growth of market demand and the continuous expansion of market application fields make intelligent controllers widely used in almost all fields such as industry, agriculture, family and military. The second is technology-driven. With the rapid development of related technical fields, the intelligent controller industry has developed rapidly as a high-tech industry.
In 20 12, the global market size of intelligent controller industry is close to 680 billion dollars. Geographically, Europe and North America are the two major markets for intelligent control products, accounting for 56% of the global intelligent control market, mainly because the markets in these two regions are relatively mature in the fields of small household appliances, automobiles, household appliances and power tools, and the product penetration rate is relatively high. In the next few years, Europe and North America will continue to occupy the main market position.
The application of intelligent control products in China and other developing countries is still in the initial stage. At present, the market scale is small, but the growth rate is high and the development space is huge. At present, the scale of intelligent controller industry in China is 420 billion yuan, and the average annual growth rate since 2004 is close to 19%. Automotive electronics and large household appliances are the traditional main application fields of electronic intelligent control products in China, with market shares of 365,438+0% and 65,438+00% respectively. There are many kinds of small household appliances. At present, the application of intelligent control products for small household appliances in China is not popular, and it is in the stage of rapid development, with huge market space. In addition, the rise of emerging fields such as electric vehicles, intelligent buildings and homes will also drive the rapid growth of the demand for intelligent controllers.
Due to the scattered demand of downstream manufacturers, great product differences and scattered production capacity in the intelligent control product industry, the overall concentration of the global intelligent control product industry is low.
