The machine safety market is expected to be valued at USD 4.37 Billion in 2018 and is likely to reach USD 6.58 Billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.0% between 2018 and 2025. Factors that are driving the growth of the market include growing emphasis on industrial safety and proactive safety measures, rising number of accidents in industries, mandatory safety standards and government policies, and increasing demand for presence-sensing safety devices. However, failure to protect workers and machines from secondary hazards, along with additional costs associated with machine safety systems, is hindering the growth of the market. Evolution of Industrial Revolution 4.0 and development of new and improved safety light curtains with digital indicators provide growth opportunities for the machine safety market. The machine safety market has been segmented on the basis of component, implementation, application, industry, and region.
The machine safety market, on the basis of component, has been segmented into presence-sensing safety sensors, programmable safety systems, safety modules/controllers/relays, safety interlock switches, e-stop devices, and two-hand safety controls. The leading position of presence-sensing safety sensors, in terms of market size, can be attributed to the increasing security requirements to protect workers and production units from accidents. Safety sensors play an important role in implementing machine safety solutions in various industrial applications. Presence-sensing safety devices are suitable for applications in which personnel need frequent and safe access to critical areas near robotic welding, stamping, hydraulic presses, filter presses, or packaging equipment. The market for programmable safety systems is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2018 and 2025. Safety PLCs play an important role in ensuring safety of machines and their operators. These safety PLC systems also help in the implementation of safety standards and safety-related programming for automated machines.
By application, the market has been classified into assembly, material handling, packaging, robotics, and metal working. Robotics applications are expected to hold the largest size of the market throughout the forecast period. Machine safety functions such as controlling, limiting, and positioning are a must for automated robotic processes. Machine safety products sense emergency situations and stop robots from making and damaging products or harming operators. However, the market for assembly applications is expected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period. Assembling is a continuous, fast, and precise process; it is required to be error-free. Moving parts of machinery and other potential hazards can cause harm to workers; therefore, it is necessary to adopt machine safety measures for assembly applications. Implementation of machine safety systems in assembly lines involves the use of a shield or device covering hazardous area of a machine to prevent contact with the human body.
The automotive industry held the largest size of the machine safety market in 2017. The rising demand for automobiles owing to the increasing population with purchasing power worldwide and the feasibility of easy loans is driving the growth of the market for the automotive industry. The development of environmentally friendly electric vehicles has led to the creation of a new segment of automobiles. The rising adoption of machine safety systems, such as safety light curtains, safety switches, emergency stop devices, and safety sensors, for assembly, presses, material handling applications in the automotive industry is driving the growth of the machine safety market for the automotive industry. The machine safety market for the food & beverages industry is expected to grow at a high rate between 2018 and 2025. The food & beverages industry is growing by opting for an integrated approach of safety and automation, making plants more flexible, safe, and profitable. Various machine safety systems, such as presence-sensing safety sensors, safety light curtains, emergency stop devices, and safety PLCs, have applications in the food & beverages industry.
Europe is likely to account for the largest share of the overall machine safety market throughout the forecast period.
The presence of automotive manufacturers and increasing automation in the automotive industry in Europe support the growth of the machine safety market in this region. Manufacturing process in the automotive industry is complex; it requires safety measures to ensure the safety of personnel as well as machines for the smooth functioning of the industry. However, among all regions, the machine safety market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The adoption of safety automation solutions in manufacturing industries in this region is increasing significantly with rapid industrialization, thereby contributing to market growth.
Major challenges for players in the machine safety market include and . Designing safety systems to meet the machine safety requirements can be a challenging task for safety system designers, especially when they are also managing complexity in applications. The challenge for machine safety system engineers is to design their system architecture in a way that prevents probability of failures or, at least, sufficiently controls these systems in case of an emergency situation. Moreover, insufficient risk assessment can also overlook important requirements regarding the design and performance of interlock devices and monitoring components, such as relays and safety-rated programmable logic controllers, which are used for protection while performing alternative safeguarding measures.
The key players operating in the machine safety market include Rockwell (US), Pilz (Germany), Schneider (France), SICK (Germany), Mitsubishi Electric (Japan), ABB (Switzerland), Honeywell (US), Omron (Japan), Keyence (Japan), IDEC (Japan), Banner Engineering (US), (US), Pepperl + Fuchs (Germany), Euchner (Germany), Phoenix Contact (Germany), (Germany), and Datalogic (Italy). These players focus on product launches and developments to expand their businesses.
