The rising demand for resources, globally, will fuel market expansion even as investments in growing economies like China and India positively impact market prospects. While retrofitting of products will represent a potential revenue generator in mature markets, the growing interest in plant automation directs focus on quarter-turn valve products.

However, increasing awareness of the improved productivity, higher metal deposition rates and reduced fumes offered by wired consumables is driving the total consumables market in Europe. Metal-cored wires are spurring overall revenue expansion while the rising preference for automation is promoting the use of flux cored wires among several end-user industries.

In order to sustain this growth, EAM systems vendors would have to compete fiercely to offer innovative and cost-effective solutions to multinational as well as small and medium businesses (SMBs). The ability to increase presence in the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions would also open numerous lucrative market opportunities.

Studies on this market indicate that the majority of the top five manufacturers within this market are only separated by less than 10 to 15 percent of the market share. Also comparatively, data collected over the last 150 years indicates a vast reduction of the total market size. Therefore, while having a high quality product is important, the availability to maintain customer relations and to go the extra mile for the customers is critical.
