Why is the Automation market declining?

I do not know about the Automation market as a whole, but with the de-regulation of the electric energy market and the explosion of power plants being built, my observation is: (1) more work than people; (2) longer delivery times when ordering equipment. This would lead me to think that things are expanding in this segment of the automation market.

  Good point about de-regulation. Also in my limited experience, power generation plants are often behind the curve in automation technology and could certainly benefit in increased efficiency. Another contributing factor would seem to be the further restricting rules on environmental polution, which will require more monitoring and control of pollutants by these newly constructed plants, as well as retrofitting existing plants.
