Global Functional Safety Market Analysis 2022
The Global Functional Safety Market is expected to reach $8.67 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2021 to 2028. Functional safety is fraction of the overall security of the system or portion of equipment, which depends on automatic protection. These systems are composed of electrical and electronic elements that are used for the fulfillment of safety function in most of the related sectors, with application in industries, such as automotive, oil and gas, power generation, chemicals and petrochemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and metal and mining, as there is a high risk of related injuries. Functional safety is becoming a must in the market as the system employs certified sub-systems and defined processes to achieve specific safety performance. Industry 4.0 provides a new all-encompassing concept for modern factories. Organizations use functional safety to minimize the hazardous states in systems or components and to limit damage to people, property, and the environment.
Factors such as rising trend of Industry 4.0 across industries, growing standards of industrial safety, increase in the number of mobile applications, rapid demand for safety systems in oil and gas industry, and increase in the number of manufacturing industries are driving the growth of the market. However, increasing complexity coupled with high initial costs and maintenance costs restraining the growth of the market.
Based on the device type, safety sensors segment is expected to have lucrative growth during the forecast period, owing to stringent safety regulations by the government and alerting on time of any hazardous situation. Safety Sensors are used for machine guarding/ personnel protection, for perimeter monitoring and body part protection, or to protect hazardous areas. These sensors detect the presence of humans within a specified area and reduce the possibility of accidents, which can be achieved through tripping function or presence detection. These safety sensors include the elements of redundancy wherein if any one element fails, then another takes control over the operation, and thus avoids productivity losses resulting from shutdown. Safety sensor-based products are incorporated into functional safety systems for different applications such as to sense movement and position of machinery, tracking tooling data, and helping integrate automated systems.
