Industrial Safety Market Drivers

Rapid Industrialization in Emerging Economies

Rapid industrialization coupled with high investments across industries, especially in emerging economies is one of the main drivers of this market. In October 2020, at 4^th India Energy Forum, Indian Prime minister said that India is planning to increase its refining capacity from 250 mtpa (million tonnes per annum) to 400 mtpa by year 2026 and it is estimated that Indian Oil and Natural Gas sector will receive investment over $300 Billion by the year 2030 for the development of this sector. Apart from that, Governments of emerging economies such as India, are offering incentives and setting up industrial projects to boost the economical growth, which in turn is accelerating the growth of industrial safety market. In February 2020, UP government had announced about its special wing ‘Invest UP’, to attract more private investments and accelerate the industrialization growth across the state. Such factors are analyzed to increase the demand for this technology during the forecast period 2021-2026.

Growing Initiatives for Safety

Another growth driver for this market is growing requirement for safety measures in various industries. Increasing requirements for safety measures across industries and government initiative along with regulatory norms to maintain the safety level is fuelling the adoption of automation as well as electrical safety gloves, presence sensing sensors, emergency stop devices, safety switches, process safety systems and others. For instance, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russian Federation, requested UNIDO to conduct an international conference with Rostechnadzor, to increasing the awareness regarding industrial safety and security. Similarly, OSHA issued some regulations, which include safety and health standards to ensure the safety of the wide range of workers. Such strategic safety measures taken by government bodies are augmenting the growing adoption of industrial safety technology globally and set to boost the market growth during 2021-2026.

Industrial Safety Market Challenges

Downside of Presence Sensing Devices

Although the industrial safety market is growing at a rapid phrase but few disadvantages of the presence sensing devices will hamper the growth of this industry during 2021-2026. The main disadvantage of presence sensing devices is that these devices cannot protect the workers from something that is coming out of a machine. For instance, if a part of a machine is being ejected out of that machine then a light curtain wouldn’t stop the machine from flying through the beam which can hurt the worker. Another disadvantage of these devices is that these devices cannot prevent people from accessing the hazardous zone. These disadvantages of presence sensing devices will hamper the growth of the industrial safety market during the forecast period 2021-2026.
