The World PLC Market faced another decline for 2013
全球PLC市場2013年再度下滑
After a downturn in 2012, the global PLC market declined again in 2013, with revenue falling by 2.1 percent annually.
經歷2012年的低迷之后，全球PLC市場在2013年再次萎縮，年度營收下降2.1％。
As the most mature market, Europe had the largest base for PLC sales in terms of revenue. However, it is very slowly dragging itself out of recession. With tight fiscal policies, tight credit conditions in several countries, excess industrial capacity and still relatively weak export demand, there are few signs of a strong upturn in the near future. In light of the lack of strong domestic market demand, the PLC market had encountered a small decline as a whole.
歐洲作為最成熟的市場，在PLC銷售收入方面占據最大的份額。但是，歐洲本身走出衰退的過程比較緩慢。隨著財政緊縮政策，一些國家收緊了信貸條件，工業產能過剩和出口需求仍相對疲軟，在近期強勁復蘇的跡象不多。由于缺乏強勁的國內市場需求，PLC市場遭遇了整體的小幅下降。
The U.S. market for PLCs is positive; the housing market continues to recover, consumer spending is rising, export markets are improving and the pace of capital spending is increasing. Because of that, the overall market for PLCs in the United States is growing strongly.
美國PLC市場還比較積極。房產市場持續復蘇，消費支出不斷上升，出口市場正在改善，資本支出的步伐也在加快。正因為如此，美國PLC市場整體增長強勁。
Looking at end-user sectors, the fastest growing segments are the oil and gas and food and beverage industries.
縱觀終端用戶行業，增長最快的領域是石油和天然氣，以及食品和飲料等行業。
Asia Pacific, which has been one of the fastest growing regions in the past few years, had faced a much slower growth rate than before. China’s market is the most likely reason for that.
亞太地區一直是過去幾年增長最快的地區之一，相比以往，現在也面臨著增長速度大幅趨緩的情況。這其中最可能的原因，是中國市場。
China’s leadership has singled out financial stability as its most important objective, with only moderate stimulus applied. Because of that, many investments have been delayed. Besides, China—as an export-focused market—had faced weakening demand from its leading trading partners, such as Europe. The PLC market had faced two-sided pressure from both domestic and foreign markets.
中國領導層已經提出金融穩定作為其最重要的目標，因此只實施溫和刺激。正因為如此，許多投資被推遲。此外，中國作為一個以出口為主的市場，其主要貿易伙伴，比如歐洲，也正面臨著需求減弱的情況。PLC市場面臨著來自國內和國外市場的雙重壓力。
The Japanese market, however, had a good year. The Japanese government had pushed forward strong economic incentive plans since 2012 by applying fiscal stimulus, engaging in monetary easing and implementing structural reforms. But when turning into the U.S. dollar, the market showed a decline in growth because the currency had depreciated by more than 10 percent in terms of exchange from the Yen to the U.S. dollar.
日本市場卻有一個好年頭。自2012年起，日本政府啟動了強有力的經濟激勵計劃，通過財政刺激，實施寬松貨幣政策，并進行結構性改革。不過，一旦轉換成美元，市場增速卻是下降的，因為日元兌換美元，貨幣已經貶值了超過10％。
