Machine Safety Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By System (Assembly, Material Handling, Metal Working), Implementation (Individual components, Embedded components), Sales Channel (Direct Channel, Indirect Channel) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Machine Safety Market is accounted for $5.93 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $11.53 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.94% during the forecast period. Machine safety refers to the use of safeguards that are applicable to the machine operators as well as the machinery. For instance, the use of interlocks that can stop the motor if a human being is too close to it. The growing concern for the safety of the workers in the industry has increased the use of machine safety devices.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rise in Workplace Accidents

There is an increase in workplace accidents and the increasing importance of active industrial safety is one of the major factors driving the market growth. Assembling is a quick and continuous procedure that involves the movement of machinery and potentially dangerous equipment. As a result of the increased attention on it, organizations are focusing their efforts on preventing these incidents. Machine protection methods used in these assembly lines operate as a shield, protecting the hazardous portions of a machine and preventing any harm to the human body. Increased adoption and advancements in safety devices such as safety curtains with the integration of light and digital indicators, as well as the development of Industrial Revolution 4.0, can be considered as a potential for Market.

Restraint:

High Cost

The Market is being restricted by the additional costs associated with machine safety technologies. Also, machine safety components, as well as installation, maintenance, and repair charges place a significant strain on the Market Size. Besides, small and mid-sized businesses may find it tough. This factor is a major stumbling block to the market's expansion.

Opportunity:

Growing Use of IIot To Confirm Better Management And Enhanced Performance of Machine Assets

IIoT is offering new opportunities for integrated safety and compliance services. IIoT can acquire data from sensors and send the collected information to monitoring systems. The data is transmitted through wired and wireless networks that provide real-time analysis, alerts, and possible solutions in case of any emergency. Using IIoT, companies can integrate their processes with safety systems and can monitor the same in real-time. IIoT facilitates quick monitoring, analysis, and control, offering virtual management of physical systems, which ultimately results in performance improvement.

Threat:

Complexities of Machine Safety Systems

The lack of awareness regarding the importance of machine safety, coupled and complexities of the machine safety are one of the major threats to the market. The safety devices solve some problems for machine builders and users but also add complexity to the task of deciding what level of safety is required, according to machine builders and system integrators.

Covid-19 Impact

The global COVID-19 epidemic, which was followed by lockdowns in several nations, had a big impact on growing day-by-day as well as affecting the supply chain. This creates uncertainty in the stock market, decreases business confidence, slows supply chain, and increases panic among customers. It is projected that the operations of production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19, which led to slowdown in growth of the machine safety market forecast in 2020.

Presense sensing safety sensors segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Due to the necessity for security requirements for guarding workers and production units against any accidents mandated by the strict machine safety regulations based on the national and international standards. Additionally, the factors such as the rise in machine revolution 4.0, the growing need for safety light curtains in the packaging industry powered by robotics, and growing incidents of accidents in industries are driving the demand for the segment.

The automotive segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The growth can be attributed to the increasing population with purchasing power worldwide and the feasibility of easy loans. The increasing implementation of machine safety systems, such as safety switches, safety light curtains, safety sensors, and emergency stop devices for presses, assembly, and material handling applications is motivating the growth of the market for the automotive industry.

Region with highest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, due to the growing investments in the industrial sector in the province. The “Made in China” policy boosts progressive manufacturing, to an improved focus on safety. Additionally, rise in investments in the industrial sector owing to the fast industrialization and urbanization in the province. Additionally, the slow enhancement of technical safety standards, the uninterrupted setting up of personal safety consciousness, and the steady participation of the state and enterprises in market promotion have accelerated the growth of the market in the area.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR. As 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 province.
