In a recently published study titled “Automation Supplier Provided Services Worldwide Outlook,” industry analyst ARC Advisory Group ranked ABB in the leading market position in this rapidly growing market space.
The growing shortage of skilled labour among end users was cited as a primary contributor to the expanding global services market. As the current automation workforce ages and retires, and the pool of potential replacement workers continues to shrink, end users will more frequently look to automation companies to provide expanded services and support.
“As the largest automation services supplier, ABB is riding the crest of this ever increasing market,” said Larry O”Brien, Research Director for Process Industries, ARC. “With the wide range of traditional and expanded services it offers across the plant lifecycle, ABB is well positioned to help its customers in all industries fill the engineering and resident knowledge gap that continues to widen as more experienced workers retire and leave the automation industry.”
