The demand for industrial automation, rising energy costs and improved understanding of the advantages of electric drives will encourage their uptake across Eastern Europe, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries over 2012-2016, but corruption and limited development of the private sector is holding back use of the technology.
Frost＆Sullivan（http://www.motors.frost.com）的新分析以报告的形式，即东欧，俄罗斯和CIS市场的电动驱动器，发现该市场在2011年获得了4.725亿美元的收入，并估计为4.725亿美元这将在2016年达到6.521亿美元。该研究涵盖了替代电流（AC），直流（DC）和伺服驱动器。交流驱动器是市场上最大的产品领域。
“Industrial automation helps optimise manufacturing processes, improve plant performance and reduce operational costs,” explained Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation & Process Control (IPC) Research Analyst Maryna Osipova. “AC drives and servo drives are key components of advanced machines that help end users achieve such goals and sustain competitiveness on a global scale.”
Servo drives and AC drives maximise the cost-efficiency of production and reduce the operating costs of industrial processes. These types of drives are used in different frequency applications, and demonstrate superior energy performance.
能源成本的上升也使最终用户施加压力，以提高其能源效率。这是在电动驱动器上培训的聚光灯，以支持更好的能源性能。
“In eastern Europe, electric drives are perceived as one of the best methods to save energy,” explained Osipova. “The use of advanced electric drives has the potential to reduce energy consumption by 25 to 50 per cent.”
However, the high corruption index of CIS countries and Russia and the limited development of the private sector are impeding market development. Moreover, economic and political instability dampen the level of government and foreign investments.
“To successfully confront these challenges and limit the risks of establishing business in these regions, electric drives suppliers need to have a comprehensive understanding of the prevailing micro-environment,” advised Osipova. “On a positive note, anticipated anti-corruption legislation and reduced red-tapism are set to create a more conducive environment for private sector participation.”
