Numerical Control Market grew 7.3% in 2014

2014年数控市场增长7.3%

CIMdata estimates that based on 场增长end-user payments, the worldwide Numerical Control(NC) software and related services market grew by 7.3% in calendar year 2014. The estimated end-user payments grew from $1.64 billion in 2013 to $1.76 billion in 2014. The market growth rate reflects solid overall NC spending, continuing the recovery from the downturn in the global economy. CIMdata projects that in 2015 growth in manufacturing will continue and end-user payments for NC software will increase by 6.7% to $1.88 billion.

CIMdata估计，根据终端用户的年数付款情况，全球数控(NC)软件及相关服务市场在2014年增长了7.3%。控市据估算，场增长最终用户支付额从2013年的年数16.4亿增长到2014年的17.6亿美元。市场增长率反映了整体数控开支稳定，控市继续从全球经济低迷中复苏。场增长CIMdata预计，2015年制造业将继续增长，而终端用户在数控软件方面的支出将增长6.7%，达18.8亿美元。

Since 2002, the NC software market has shown modest but steady growth as global economies generally improved. There has been worldwide growth in the sale of machine tools and manufacturing output; greater emphasis has been placed on the efficient operation of machine tools as manufacturing firms have strengthened their competitive positions; and the overall PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) market, of which CAM software is a component, has continued on a strong growth path during this period. CAM software purchases are related to all of these factors-particularly machine tool sales.

2002年以来，随着全球经济体普遍回暖，数控软件市场呈现出温和但稳定的增长。全球的机床及制造产出销售取得增长;随着制造企业加强其竞争地位，他们将更大的重点放在改善机床的高效运转;而PLM(产品生命周期管理)整体市场继续在此期间获得强劲的增长， CAM软件正是其中的一个组件。CAM软件采购涉及到所有这些因素，特别是机床的销售。

The size and growth of the NC software and related services market based on end-user payments is shown in the chart. It can also be seen that approximately one-third of the end-user payments result in reseller revenues and approximately two-thirds of the revenues are payments made directly to software suppliers.

基于终端用户的支付，数控软件和相关服务市场的规模和增长显示如下图。可以看出，来自经销商营收大约占了终端用户支付的三分之一，直接向软件供应商付款约占三分之二。

Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata's Vice President of Research commented, "2014 was an interesting year in the NC market. There was solid growth and two leading NC companies were acquired by unexpected new parents: Vero Software by Hexagon AB and Cimatron by 3D Systems. Combining additive and subtractive manufacturing has shown great value in some applications, so the move by 3D Systems bears watching." Jeanne Naysmith, the leader of CIMdata's Manufacturing Practice continued, "While there is a relatively small portion of industrial production that is likely to use additive techniques, the extra creativity that additive manufacturing can offer is likely to increase the complexity of product designs, and this will in turn increase demand for subtractive CAM. Improved product performance coupled with the elimination of capitalized tooling is a strong incentive for manufacturers to explore additive manufacturing's potential."

CIMdata研究副总裁Stan Przybylinski评论道：“2014年是数控市场非常有趣的一年。有稳健增长，同时两家领先数控公司又意外被收购：Vero Software 被Hexagon AB 收购， Cimatron公司被3D Systems收购。在某些应用中，将添加和消减制造结合起来，展现出很大的价值，所以3D Systems的举动值得关注。” CIMdata制造实践部主管Jeanne Naysmith则表示，“尽管只有工业生产的一小部分可能使用到添加技术，但添加制造能够提供的额外创造力很可能会增加产品设计的复杂性，从而反过来增加对消减CAM的需求。提高产品的性能，以及取消资本化工具，是厂商开拓添加制造潜力的强大动力。”
