COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The impact of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the Structural Health Monitoring market. During this pandemic, there was a decrease in demand for structural health monitoring due to the lockdown imposed by governments across the world. Various countries had to stop their construction and infrastructure activities to focus on necessary things. The market players were facing various problems such as labor shortage, liquidity issues, and other government rules and regulations due to the outbreak of COVID.

Market Dynamics

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a technology that monitors the structural integrity of structures and buildings. The SHM market is expected to grow in the coming years due to several factors. The growth of this market can majorly be attributed to the increasing demand for better monitoring systems, which will lead to an increase in the number of SHM installations and upgrades in various industries such as construction, mining, oil and gas, nuclear power plants, and wind turbines.

Drivers

• The rise in demand for automated maintenance and repair of critical infrastructures

Infrastructure repair & maintenance has been revolutionized in recent years by the use of AI. During the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with limited workforce availability, the companies have begun to automate some processes. If a recipient is not available for social distancing at the time of implementation, many precautions can be taken to maximize efficiency and minimize risk. This has led to the development of automation and standardization for key processes. COVID-19 has led to a shortage in the workforce, which has led to delays in repair and maintenance. The pandemic has been a significant obstacle to the construction sector because of how difficult it's been to work under these limitations. With the long-term cost of physical inspection and maintenance becoming more expensive, there is an increasing demand for automated solutions in the post-COVID-19 era.

With automation and standardization, repair & maintenance processes can be easier. The gradual increase in the automation of maintenance and repair of infrastructure is expected to facilitate the trend of remote working, which may have a transformational impact on the construction industry. Skilled personnel will be able to remotely monitor structures from the office. Data collected by installed systems will ensure that quality is not compromised. Additionally, the use of biosensors will ensure that the pandemic-response system is more adaptive and resilient.

Restraint:

• High installation and monitoring costs

Increasing the range, resolution, accuracy, and repeatability leads to an increase in system cost. These systems help to save money in the long term but require thinking about installation and monitoring costs. This is because of the adoption of state-of-the-art sensors and software that allow builders to cost their structures accurately. This can be difficult as complicated design structures will increase costs, but conversely, more basic designs will cost less and are more manageable. While the high installation & monitoring costs may slow down the growth of the market, they are expected to decrease eventually since several competitors are in the global market and prices are going down.

Opportunity:

• Opportunities in emerging and GCC regions are growing

Given the rapid population growth in emerging Asian economies, it is vital to set up a good infrastructure so that people can live their lives easier and free from disruptions. Owing to which there has been a surge in the demand for structural health monitoring solutions, both for new and existing structures, to ensure safety. In recent years, many companies have been providing structural health monitoring solutions to build various projects in the Asia Pacific. Globally, demand for structural health monitoring has been increasing heavily. Structural health monitoring solutions are being aggressively adopted in the US and Europe. But, in countries like China, Japan, India and Singapore, and others in the Gulf Cooperation Council (UAE & Saudi Arabia), there is a huge potential for the structural health monitoring market. Countries like China, India, and the United States are investing heavily in infrastructure projects.
