LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Technavio has announced the top four leading vendors in their recent global kiln shell scanner market 2016-2020 report. This research report also lists 12 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Kiln shell scanners are cost-effective means to ensure smooth and continuous production. These scanners enable users to minimize expenditure for refractory bricks and prevent unforeseen downtime. They embody the principles of predictive machine condition monitoring, which is the biggest trend in the maintenance and servicing sector across all industries.
“Governments in European countries are devising industrial policies and initiatives, such as Horizon 2020, to promote the use of innovative technologies in manufacturing and process industries. These policies are leading the minerals (particularly steel), cement, and pulp and paper industries to invest in new technologies, thus increasing the possibility of kiln shell scanner adoption,” says Barath Palada, a lead automation analyst from Technavio.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global kiln shell scanner market is characterized by the presence of several established international vendors, such as FLSmidth, ThyssenKrupp, Thermoteknix, and Raytek. They generate revenue through both direct and indirect sales. Indirect sales take place via local representatives, certified distributors or dealers, contractors, and system integrators. The competition between these vendors is intense in terms of product features, price, customized solutions, and services offered.
These companies together had a market share of 44%-52% in 2015. The established vendors focus on expanding geographical reach, increasing production capacities, and upselling products by upgrading the existing ones. For instance, across 2014 and 2015, Honeywell invested in a new manufacturing plant in Pune, India, to design and manufacture automation products and solutions, including products for kiln shell monitoring. This new plant is Honeywell’s seventh plant in the country and shows its commitment to serve the local market.
