SIS Services to Become the Largest Process Safety System Market in 2015

安全仪表系统服务将在2015年成为最大的过程安全系统市场

A key finding from IHS’s recent study on ‘The World Market for Process Safety Systems – 2013 Edition’ is that the global safety instrumented system (SIS) service market is set to surpass $1bn in revenues to become the largest market for process safety systems in 2015.

IHS一份最新的研究报告《全球过程安全系统市场——2013版》显示，全球安全仪表系统（SIS ）服务市场在2015年将超过10亿美元的销售额，成为过程安全系统的最大市场。

SIS hardware was the largest market in 2012, accounting for 49% of total revenues. However, with a projected CAGR of almost 13% (between 2011 and 2017), the SIS services market is set to become the highest dollar value market; representing promising growth opportunities for automation vendors.

2012年，SIS硬件是最大的市场，占总收入的49%。然而，随着近13 ％的预测年均复合年增长率（2011年至2017年），SIS服务市场将成为最高金额数值市场；代表着自动化厂商的增长机会大有希望。

New Safety Standards Driving Growth 新的安全标准推动增长

A primary growth driver of the process safety systems market is the revisions to the international safety standards (IEC 61508 and IEC 61511) in 2010. The release of these latest standards has promoted investment in SIS worldwide, as end users attempt to comply.

过程安全系统市场的主要增长动力是在2010年修订的国际安全标准（IEC 61508和IEC 61511 ）。这些最新标准的发布促进了SIS的全球投资，因为最终用户试图遵守。

Revisions to the standards have helped to increase the awareness of safety. The demand for services at each stage of the safety lifecycle is rising, from concept and scope definition to decommissioning and replacing the safety system. Many end users have begun to carry out assessments of their facilities, as a result of the revisions, to verify whether or not they comply, which alone has created an additional demand for services. End users are turning to their automation supplier or specialist service providers to support this, as often the required knowledge and expertise is not available in-house and third-party assessments can give greater credibility and confidence that standards have been met. Subsequent modifications required in order to comply further augment demand means multiple service elements must be carried out to implement a change to a safety system according to the standards.

修订标准有助于提高安全意识。在安全生命周期的每个阶段，从概念和范围定义到安全系统的退役和更换，对服务的需求都呈上升趋势。标准修订的一个结果，就是许多最终用户已经开始对其设施展开评估，以确认它们是否符合标准，因此产生了对服务的额外需求。最终用户正在转向他们的自动化供应商或专业服务提供商来支持这一点，因为通常所需要的知识和专长内部无法提供，而第三方评估可以提供更好的信誉和更多符合标准的信心。为了遵守进一步扩大的要求所需的后续修改，意味着必须执行多个服务组成，从而实现根据标准变更了的安全系统。

Market Outlook 市场展望

In the foreseeable future, as global safety awareness, compliance with standards and the SIS installed base continue to grow, SIS service growth will remain higher than that of hardware and software.

在可预见的未来，随着全球安全意识、符合标准和SIS安装基数的不断提升，SIS服务的增长仍将高于硬件和软件。

It is unfortunate (but unsurprising) that disasters remain the largest driver of safety. In the aftermath of disasters, the industry responds in attempt to avoid a similar series of events that preceded the incident. In addition to the potential catastrophic impact on human life and the environment, damage to the corporate image is another risk associated with a safety-related incident. Large fines and a negatively perceived brand can severely constrain profitability, with possible consequences including governments enforcing restrictions on business operations, a disassociation of key business partners and a loss of customers that can have devastating effects on an end user. In extreme cases, criminal prosecution of CEOs is also a possible consequence. With so much at stake, increasingly corporations want to ensure that a systematic approach has been taken to manage safety. SIS services have become recognized as critical as part of this and are widely considered fundamental to implementing an effective SIS.

不幸的灾害（也毫无意外地）仍然是安全的最大驱动因素。在灾害发生之后，安全系统行业试图避免类似的一系列事故发生前的事件。除了对人类生活和环境潜在的灾难性影响，损害企业形象也是与安全相关事件的另一种风险。巨额罚款和消极的品牌认知会严重制约盈利能力，有可能产生的后果包括政府强制执行的限制业务经营、主要业务伙伴和客户的流失，对最终用户造成破坏性影响。在极端情况下，对企业负责人的刑事起诉也是可能的后果。正因为有这么多的风险，越来越多的公司希望确保有一个系统化的方法用于管理安全。 SIS服务已经被公认是作为这一部分的关键组成，被广泛认为是实施有效SIS的根本。

The industry continues to take positive steps towards operating safely. Standards are being updated more regularly and regulations are becoming more stringent. More importantly, more end users are actively following recommended guidelines that are aimed at reducing risk, and services will continue to grow in supporting this.

该行业为了系统安全地运行而继续采取积极步骤。标准的更新更频繁，法规也越来越严格。更重要的是，更多最终用户积极跟进旨在降低风险的建议指南，而为这点提供支持的服务业务无疑将继续增长。
