The safety light curtain market is expected to be worth USD 1,178.2 Million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% between 2017 and 2023. The growth of this market can be attributed to the increasing incidents of accidents in industries; rise in industrial revolution 4.0; and rising need for safety light curtains in the packaging industry powered by robotics.

The market for type 4 safety light curtains is expected to grow a high rate between 2017 and 2023. The applications of the type 4 safety light curtains are determined on the basis of risk assessment; areas wherein risks are moderate or high, type 4 safety light curtains are recommended. The risk assessment is done by determining the severity of the damage or injury and the probability of its occurrence. The severity of damages may differ from one country to another based on their respective rules and regulations.

The market for control units is expected to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2023. The control unit in a safety light curtain controls the actions of infrared light transmitting LEDs and infrared light receiving photoelectric cells and sends out signals according to the events. In case the control unit detects an internal fault in any component, such as LEDs or photoelectric cells, of a safety light curtain, the curtain undergoes a lockout condition.

The market for 25–90mm safety light curtains is expected to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2023. The resolution range of 25mm to 90mm has been further divided into two ranges: 25–49mm and 50–90mm. The safety light curtains with a resolution ranging from 25mm to 49mm are widely used for hand detection applications. 50–90mm safety light curtains are deployed where robotic machines are used; these safety light curtains help in keeping robotic arms safe in confined areas; in case there is any breach of the curtains, internally or externally, the arms are notified, and necessary emergency protocols are followed to safeguard the operators and the machines.

The safety light curtain market for the automotive industry is expected to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2023. Automotive is one of the largest industries in the world and plays a major role in supporting the economies of various countries. Automobile manufacturing plants comprise heavy machinery, precision equipment, and a number of complicated processes; high automation is thus required while manufacturing an automobile. Owing to the involvement of automated machinery and workers working around these machines, the necessity of safety light curtain arises. Safety light curtains are widely used in the automotive industry for a number of applications at various points of operations. Conveyor machines, robotic arms, welding machines, and press machines are a few man-machine systems used in automobile manufacturing plants. The installation of these systems is usually followed by the implementation of proper safety standards, equipment, and control systems.

APAC is expected to hold the largest share of the safety light curtain market by 2023. APAC comprises countries such as China, Japan, India, and South Korea. China is among the fastest-growing economies in APAC, and also is one of the biggest manufacturing hubs in the region. China specializes in the mass production of almost every product catering to industries such as automotive, semiconductor, electronics, chemicals, food & beverages, and healthcare, followed by India, which is also a major economy in APAC. Japan is a smaller country with respect to land size, but is responsible for huge production output and energy consumption. South Korea has vast automotive and semiconductor manufacturing industries. These factors are driving the growth of the safety light curtain market in APAC.

Major factors restraining the growth of the safety light curtain market include the inability of safety light curtains to protect from secondary hazards such as debris and spark; and the need for regular maintenance of safety light curtains. Key market players such as Omron (Japan), KEYENCE (Japan), SICK (Germany), Rockwell Automation (US), and Pepperl+Fuchs  (Germany) are focusing on the strategies such as product launches to gain a competitive edge in the safety light curtain market and expand their distribution networks.
