• Anticipated to see a significant surge in the upcoming years, the distributed fiber optic sensor market is predicted to expand to $2.09 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%.
This projected growth during the forecast period can be linked to a number of factors, including sustainability targets and environmental regulations, uses in healthcare and biomedical sensing, adherence to regulations, investments in research and development, and applications in defense and aerospace. Factors expected to trend during this period are the integration of smart cities and internet of things (IoT), monitoring of renewable energy and power grid, advancements in fiber optic technology, seismic and structural health monitoring, along with real-time data analytics and artificial intelligence integration.
What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Market?
The surge in oil and gas usage is a key factor propelling the expansion of the distributed fiber optic sensor market. These commodities are produced via the vaporization and cracking of petroleum distillates. The escalating demand for oil and gas, which can be met by stepping up exploration and drilling activities, consequently causes a surge in demand for fiber optic sensors. For example, the Energy Information Agency, an independent energy-related statistics and analytics provider based in the US, reported in August 2023 that in 2022, an average of about 20.28 million barrels of petroleum were consumed daily in the US, including around 1.17 million barrels of biofuels per day. Oil consumption in the United States witnessed a 2% gain in 2022 compared to the previous year, and a considerable 12% rise from 2020 figures. This surge was mainly attributed to the economy recovering to levels seen prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an increase in the consumption of nearly all petroleum products in 2022 compared to the preceding year. As a result, the growing consumption of oil and gas is stimulating the expansion of the distributed fiber optic sensor market.
