The functional safety market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the recent past, the size of the functional safety market has seen consistent growth. The market, estimated at $5.47 billion in 2024, will surge to reach $5.74 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%.
The expansion during the historic period owes to factors such as the growth of industrial automation, the necessities of regulatory compliance, a rise in system complexity, initiatives towards standardization, and the increasing demand for safety in the automotive sector.
The functional safety market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the forthcoming years, the functional safety market is predicted to witness considerable growth. Its size is projected to expand to $8.03 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
Factors like the incorporation of functional safety in healthcare, progressive process regulation in industries, impact of sustainable development goals (SDGs), and constant enhancement of safety culture provide plausible reasons for the growth during this forecast period. Principal trends for this era encompass wider industrial adoption, adherence to international standards, inclusion of functional safety in IoT gadgets, emphasis on automotive functional safety, coupled with the integration of cybersecurity and functional safety, as well as a growing interest in digital twins for functional safety analysis.
The rise in demand for safety systems within the oil and gas sector is anticipated to drive the functional safety market's expansion. The occurrences of accidents in the oil and gas industry are on the rise due to a variety of reasons such as explosions and fires, slips and falls, operation of heavy machineries, extremes in temperature and hazardous chemical exposure. To counter this, major players in the industry are implementing safety systems. For example, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of motorcycles, unveiled the RCX3-SMU robot controller in June 2024. This new controller is equipped with cutting-edge safety features like speed and area monitoring functions, validated by a third-party to ensure it adheres to functional safety standards. Yamaha's advancements highlight their dedication to improving safety operations in robotics, especially in industrial environments.
