The overall motion-control market in China contracted 19 percent last year compared to 2011. Within the space, the General Motion Control (GNC) segment slowed 12 percent, while the allied Computer Numerical Control sector declined by a bigger 25 percent.
Widely used in industries such as packaging, printing and assembly, motion control is generally considered a subfield of automation and an important part of robotics, in which the position or velocity of machines is controlled by electric motors, linear actuators or hydraulic pumps.
Export vs. Domestic Markets
Weakness in 2012 stemmed from anemic demand in the downstream industries where motion-control gear is involved. In particular, the motion-control market in China was hurt by uncertainty in the European and American markets that imports Chinese-made machinery.
A large portion of Chinese-manufactured port machinery, crane construction gear, machine tools, rubber and plastic-making equipment and textile apparatus is exported, so fluctuations in the export markets can easily affect the Chinese market for motion control.
Overcapacity in the production of industrial machinery compounded the problem of already diminished exports, aggravating the overall situation.
Despite the dip last year, a recovery is projected from 2012 to 2016 when revenue grows by nearly 10 percent each year during the four-year period. The anticipated change is part of the government
