Opportunities in European Industrial Services: Frost & Sullivan Insight

LONDON, Dec. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The global industrial services market has grown significantly in the last few years, post-2008. Traditionally, this market is associated with repair and maintenance but of late, this perception has been changing. The focus has switched from traditional services to value-added services. This trend is likely to alter the landscape of industrial services in Europe.

New growth factors in the industrial services market in Europe will be presented during Frost & Sullivan's upcoming web conference on Thursday, 5th December 2013, at 14.00 GMT. Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation & Process Control Research Manager Sivakumar Narayanaswamy and Industry Analyst Karthik Sundaram will discuss changes in end-user expectations and requirements of services across various product markets, and how this would impact product strategies and functionalities in the future.

Frost & Sullivan mapped the market into the larger framework of Industry 4.0.  Implementation of innovations in services might be the first step towards achieving this futuristic vision. The industry is facing a new services evolution with "The Internet of Services" leading this process. The Internet of Services is a framework that describes the future of services founded on a device-independent and device-dependent service model. The projection of this trend onto specific products in the industrial space will lead the market to identify a number of new service opportunities that bears immense significance to industrial product suppliers.

"From a demand perspective, end-users are increasingly looking at maintenance and plant service as a means for maximising profitability," says Industrial Automation & Process Control Research Manager Sivakumar Narayanaswamy. "From a market standpoint, we can safely surmise that the demand for services has been improving quite significantly over the last decade. There is also a growing acknowledgement from industrial product suppliers and the end-user community about the dawn of services as the next big frontier for business model innovation and profitability."
