Industrial IoT opens many opportunities in automation, optimization, asset performance management, new ways of servicing customers, and the creation of new revenue models. To survive in today’s hyper-competitive business environment with highly disruptive technologies, companies are heavily investing in IIoT to increase growth and maximize productivity. IIoT has the potential to drive productivity and improve operating costs across multiple industries, including manufacturing, oil and gas, and mining.
The IIoT presents fresh possibilities for services that integrate compliance and safety. IIoT has the ability to collect data from sensors and transmit it to monitoring systems. In order to provide real-time analysis, alerts, and potential solutions in case of an emergency, the data is transmitted through wired and wireless networks. Businesses can use IIoT to integrate their processes with safety systems and to real-time monitor those systems. Performance is ultimately improved by IIoT because it enables quick monitoring, analysis, and control while also providing virtual management of physical systems.
Further, IoT helps create optimized workflows through automation. It minimizes repetitive tasks and facilitates optimal utilization of available resources and machinery. IoT can connect every unit, device, asset, machinery, or piece of equipment to a single network. With smart sensors, businesses can then track assets and control equipment. Real-time insights and autonomous control reduce waste and optimize the entire workflow. However, the increasing use of IIoT to ensure better management and improved performance of machine assets creates a lucrative opportunity for market growth.
Based on component, the Machine Safety Market is segmented into presence-sensing safety sensors, emergency stop devices, programmable safety systems, safety controllers/modules/relays, safety interlock switches, two-hand safety controls, and others. The presence-sensing safety sensors segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing around ~29% to market revenue. Presence sensing safety sensors are ideal for applications where personnel need frequent and easy yet safe access to hazardous areas, such as near robotic welding, stamping, machining centers, hydraulic presses, filter presses, packaging equipment, etc. Sensors deployed in a safety system are developed and designed to ensure a safe output based on the signals received from the logic circuits. Safety edges, laser scanners, safety light curtains, safety mats, and optoelectronic devices that include hand detection and single & multi-beam sensors are some of the types of presence-sensing sensors.
The application segment of the machine safety market size includes assembly, material handling, metal working, packaging, robotics, and others. The assembly segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022; an assembly fitted with or intended to be fitted with a drive system other than one using only directly applied human effort, consisting of linked parts or components, at least one of which moves, and which is joined together for a specific application.
The industry segments of the machine safety market size include oil & gas, chemicals, aerospace, semiconductors & electronics, food & beverages, automotive, healthcare, and others. The food & beverage segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. Machine safety systems are widely adopted by food & beverage companies to increase production precision and flexibility. Machine safety helps in achieving greater operational transparency across production lines and in ensuring compliance with regulations. The food & beverage industry strives to achieve high quality and consistent production at a low price. Further, as companies become more aware of regulations, which are becoming more stringent, there is an upsurge in demand for machine safety systems to achieve safe and efficient operations in food & beverage manufacturing plants.
By Region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share and it is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR in the market due to the growing investments in the industrial sector in the region. In addition, the gradual improvement of technical safety standards, continuous strengthening of personal safety awareness, and gradual participation of the state and enterprises in market promotion have accelerated the growth of the machine safety market in the region. Asia-Pacific comprises China, Japan, India, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. Furthermore, rising investment in machinery development across automotive, oil & gas, aerospace & defense, and other industries is expected to drive market growth.
Europe is the second largest market for machine safety systems as machine safety standards are strictly followed within the European Economic Area. The safety standards and directives present in the region restrict the supply and operation of machinery that do not meet the regulatory requirements. The machine safety requirements are stringent in the European region, which is driving the growth of the market. Machinery Directive 2006/45/EU is the legislation governing machine safety requirements in Europe. It benefits harmonization with a combination of safety and health requirements. This is a mandatory directive, which ensures the protection of machines and workers in various organizations. This regulatory standard can increase the demand for machine safety systems in the European region.
