Global Machine Condition Monitoring Equipment Market to Reach US$2.4 Billion by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn - Machine condition monitoring assumes strategic significance within the manufacturing and process industries, whereby, integrity, productivity and reliability of a plant are ensured. Also referred to as asset health management, condition monitoring involves most of the expert monitoring techniques and strategic tools that help in decision making process. Given its role in maintaining capital assets in good form, the market prospects for machine condition monitoring equipment has long been influenced by capital investments in key end-use industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pulp & paper, metals, and heavy equipment manufacturing, among others. Growing prominence of plant asset management and the manufacturers drive towards optimizing productivity and efficiency of plant assets have been driving demand for machine conditioning monitoring equipment over the years. Focus on asset utilization, and need to eliminate possible machinery breakdowns, which can potentially lead to unnecessary maintenance costs also fuelled rapid adoption of machine condition monitoring equipment.

The growing importance of Machine Condition Monitoring Equipment can be put to perspective by the fact that the market continued to register steady growth in demand even amidst the recent economic recession, which affected most of the other industrial equipment markets. Growing importance of predictive maintenance programs, especially so, against a backdrop of tight liquidity, which adds pressure on cost efficiency and justification of both fixed and variable expenses, provided much required boost to the adoption of machine conditioning monitoring equipment in a depressed economy. The need to reduce plant operating costs by reducing maintenance costs, optimizing maintenance activities during planned shutdowns and lowering the instances of unscheduled outages also provided business sense to invest in such equipment. Also, widespread postponement of new purchases of plant equipment lengthened the replacement cycle thus requiring additional maintenance of aging installed base of machines.

The market over the next few years will be driven by fast-paced technology developments and introduction of novel products. For instance, development of low-cost advanced condition monitoring equipment, integrated with quick processing functions, direct communication procedures, and improved software will attract tremendous opportunities for the market in coming years. Latest technology solutions, which help users cut costs and avoid costly downtime will also help lend traction to the market.

As stated by the new market research report on Machine Condition Monitoring Equipment, the US represents the largest regional market worldwide. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market for machine conditioning monitoring equipment, with dollar sales from the region waxing at a CAGR of about 10.7% over the analysis period. Fast-paced infrastructure developments, and increasing manufacturing activity, which is especially fuelled by shifting of production bases from developed nations to low-cost destinations such as China and India, are primary factors driving growth in the market. Vibration Monitoring Equipment represents the largest product segment, while Thermography Equipment represents the fastest growing product segment, with annual dollar sales waxing at a CAGR of about 7.3% over the analysis period.

Global Installed Capacity of Biomass and Waste-to-Energy Plants to Reach 83.1 GW by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn - Biomass and hydropower are the major renewable energy sources and contribute to about one-fifth share in the mainstream energy market. The global economic downturn resulted in a slight decline in the investments in few sectors of the renewable energy market, such as solar energy and biomass, which was however countered due to the favorable investment scenario in renewable power sectors. Global economic recovery and rising fuel prices would drive governments to place greater emphasis on renewable energy sources.

Biomass is a major source of renewable energy, largely due to its use in a wide range of energy products such as electricity generation, transportation fuels, as well as bio-derived products such as chemicals and plastics. Government policies and mandates have significantly affected growth prospects in the biomass industry. Escalating demand and shrinking global reserves of fossil fuel are expected to enhance the significance of renewable energy resources. With growing levels of awareness about potential damage to planet due to global warming, governments and companies across the world are focusing on measures aimed at minimizing the impact of human operations on the climate. Biomass and waste-to-energy is the leading renewable energy source and the most important fuel in use apart from oil, coal and natural gas. Development of biomass energy depends on government incentives offered in the form of capital grants, tax breaks and soft loans. In addition, the level to which the production of biomass is raised through agricultural land affects the future development potential of biomass energy.

The global waste-to-energy market is forecast to grow rapidly propelled by the increased uptake of waste-to-energy technologies along with policy changes and population growth. Rapid growth of Asian markets and maturation of waste management regulations and climate mitigation strategies in Europe are expected to boost the global market for waste-to-energy technologies, driven by the developments in the alternative fuels and power industry, as well as the waste management industry. The waste-to-energy industry is also expected to benefit from the emerging opportunities in regions such as India, China, Europe and the US. Asia-Pacific region is expected to surpass Western Europe and emerge as the largest market in terms of waste-to-energy investments. Countries from the region, in particular China, are the fast-emerging markets for waste-to-energy systems. Majority of the Asian nations make use of thermal waste-to-energy (WTE) technology that utilizes heat to transform waste into heat energy or electricity.

As stated by the new market research report on Biomass and Waste-to-Energy, the US continues to remain the single largest regional market. Excessive dependence on imported fuels, rising energy costs, volatile fuel prices, depleting reserves of fossil fuels, and growing environmental concerns have enhanced the significance of renewable energy sources in the US. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing regional market displaying a CAGR of about 10.3% over the analysis period, in terms of installed capacity. Asias over-dependence on oil imports implies that the region is vulnerable to the extreme volatility of energy prices. Consequently, several countries have initiated projects for higher biomass projects, which have been partly affected by the rising cost of raw materials and inconsistencies in government policies.

Major players in the marketplace include 2G Bio-Energietechnik AG, Advanced Alternative Energy Corp., Biogas Nord AG, Casella Waste Systems, Inc., CH Energy Group Inc., Covanta Energy Corporation, Community Power Corporation, Decker Energy International Inc., Capital Power Income L.P., Essent N.V., FlexEnergy LLC, Nexterra Energy Corp., Novera Energy PLC, North American Power Group Ltd., NRG Energy Inc., Primenergy L.L.C, Sierra Pacific Industries Inc., and Wheelabrator Technologies Inc.
