CC-Link is a de-facto standard in many key Asian industries. Since many Asian companies are looking to get into China, when they go, they are taking CC-Link with them. This helps to further strengthen CC-Link’s position in the region. Hence when companies from Europe, the US and elsewhere consider moves to China, it’s clear that CC-Link is one of the alternatives they should be considering. Additionally, compared to other technologies available, CC-Link is regarded as having a relatively simple development cycle, making it easier to get on board.
Independent market data research from leading market research companies ARC and IMS show that CC-Link is the leading network in the Asian region, based on the suppliers of different automation networks. It is also expected to grow at a rate faster than its competitors over the next few years.
