The structural health monitoring market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the structural health monitoring market has experienced swift growth. A leap from $3.04 billion in 2024 to $3.49 billion in 2025 is expected, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. Factors such as market recognition and adoption, disaster reduction strategies, amplified government initiatives, the rise of wireless monitoring and innovative SHM applications have contributed to this growth over the historical period.
The Structural Health Monitoring market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size of structural health monitoring is predicted to experience swift expansion. The expected growth rate is 15.7%.
CAGR, leading to a worth of $6.25 billion by 2029. The growth during the forecast period can be associated with factors such as the emergence of smart city initiatives, the development of remote monitoring solutions, the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence, expansion in the renewable energy sector, and regulatory focus on structural safety. Moreover, the major trends anticipated during the forecast period encompass advancements in sensor technology, the integration of the internet of things (IoT), the increasing demand for predictive maintenance, the upswing of infrastructure development, and the growing adoption in the aerospace and defense sectors.
The structural health monitoring market is predicted to expand due to the increasing frequency of natural disasters. Natural calamities, caused by various natural phenomena on Earth, often lead to catastrophic consequences. Structural health monitoring is beneficial in averting damage caused by water floods and collapses of dams, dykes, pipelines and other infrastructures during these disasters. Therefore, the more frequently natural disasters occur, the more demand there is for structural health monitoring, effectively leading to market growth. For example, a report by the US-based government agency, the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), stated that in 2023, the U.S experienced 28 distinct climate and weather-related disasters, each resulting in damages of at least $1 billion. This broke the previous record for the most billion-dollar disasters in a single year. Consequently, the rising frequency of natural calamities continues to fuel the growth of the structural health monitoring market.

The structural health monitoring industry is seeing a rise in the trend of technological innovation. To stay ahead of the curve, key industry players are focused on developing groundbreaking technologies. For instance, in February 2022, a US-based company specializing in climate resilience technology, One Concern, launched two initiatives: One Concern Domino and One Concern DNA. These tools were designed to strengthen corporate resilience in the face of climate change. Domino works as a detailed digital twin solution, identifying cascading effects across intricate societal networks, and provides an enhanced measure of "business resilience" beyond just physical asset damage. In contrast, DNA provides analytics at the property level to increase resilience, allowing precise risk selection and comparison with other properties. Collectively, these tools leverage extensive data and machine learning to give actionable insights about climate effects, infrastructure downtime, and recovery costs, thus enabling decision-makers to preemptively tackle climate risks.
