ABSTRACT

A strong linear relationship is shown between manufacturing output and both the sub-contract surface finishing output for different national sectors, recorded by official statistics departments, and total surface finishing outputs estimated by relating industrial paint sales to paint coating plants output, to the fraction of paint and powder coating application in overall surface finishing. This estimates that total surface finishing output globally may be more than US$ 800 Bn, and at least 4x the value of the sub-contract sector. This latter sector is defined by up to half its companies being very small, less than 10 employees in size, which, because of lack of sufficient resources, in financial strength and employee education and training, may pose a significant problem to the sector when having to deal with one of the major challenges thought to be now facing the sector. This is the issue of adopting new smart technology which many customers are having to take up to stay productive and competitive.

摘要

官方统计部门记录的制造业产出和不同国家部门的分包表面处理产出，以及通过将工业油漆销售与油漆涂装厂产出相关联估计的表面处理总产出与油漆和粉末涂料在整体表面处理中的应用。据估计，全球表面处理总产值可能超过 8000 亿美元，至少是分包行业价值的 4 倍。后一个行业的定义是，多达一半的公司规模非常小，员工规模不到 10 人，由于缺乏足够的资源、财务实力以及员工教育和培训，在必须处理被认为现在该行业面临的主要挑战之一时，可能会给该行业带来重大问题。这是采用新的智能技术的问题，许多客户必须采用这些技术来保持生产力和竞争力。
