Safety Instrumented System Market Growth, Trends, and Analysis by 2031

[Research Report] The safety instrumented system market is expected to grow from US$ 4.23 billion in 2022 to US$ 7.14 billion by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 6.7% from 2022 to 2030.

Analyst Perspective:

The construction of new oil & gas refineries and the growing mining activities worldwide are the major factors fueling the growth of the safety instrumented system market. Also, the growing adoption of safety regulations and standards is boosting the growth of the safety instrumented system market. Moreover, the growing industrial automation in the chemicals & petrochemicals industry to increase the efficiency and safety of employees is further creating opportunities for the growth of the safety instrumented system market. The growing awareness of safety across different industries further accelerates the safety instrumented system market expansion.

Market Overview:

A safety instrumented system (SIS) is used in many process plants as it helps to take automated action to keep a plant in a safe state when abnormal conditions arise. In case of any disturbance that can result in an unfortunate incident, the SIS will automatically bring the process to a safe state and help prevent loss of life, asset damage, and environmental damage. Several catastrophic events can occur at different operational sites in oil & gas, chemical, and other industries that deal with heavy machinery and chemicals. These can range from fires to leaks that could lead to explosions, and the need for high-end safety systems such as SIS is rising worldwide.

Market Driver:

Rising Expansion of Oil & Gas Industry Drive Safety Instrumented System Market Growth

The US is one of the largest natural gas producers in the world. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the country produced ~34,517,798 million cubic feet (MMcf) of natural gas and consumed 30,664,951 MMcf of natural gas in 2021. The country also exported 3,560,818 MMcf of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Various new oil and gas construction projects are also in progress worldwide. In Q2 2022, the construction work of the Centre of Excellence for Carbon Capture & Removal project started in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It involved the construction of a CCS plant, which helps in capturing and storing up to 2,000 metric ton of CO2 per day. Similarly, the construction of the Vista Pacifico Liquified Natural Gas Plant project commenced in Q2 2022, with an investment of US$ 2,000 million. Under this project, an LNG export terminal will be constructed on 150 hectares in the Municipality of Ahome, Topolobampo, Sinaloa, Mexico. Thus, such oil and gas construction projects will propel the demand for safety instrumented systems.

Furthermore, According to the Statistics of the Swedish Mining Industry 2021 report, Swedish ore production reached 88.6 million metric ton in 2021, a rise of 22% since 2015. Also, as per the Australian Bureau of Statistics, mining production in Australia increased by 5.7% in the first quarter of 2023. Thus, the growing mining production worldwide is expected to surge the demand for security and monitoring to ensure the safety of employees, equipment, or materials. This increasing need for safety instrumented systems further boosts the growth of the safety instrumented system market.

Report Segmentation and Scope:

The safety instrumented system market is segmented on the basis of application, end user, and geography. Based on application, the safety instrumented system market is divided into emergency shutdown systems, fire and gas monitoring and control, high integrity pressure protection systems, burner management systems, and turbo machinery control. By end user, the safety instrumented system market is categorized into chemicals & petrochemicals, oil & gas, power generation, pharmaceutical, food & beverages, and others. Geographically, the safety instrumented system market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SAM).

Segmental Analysis:

Based on application, the safety instrumented system market is divided into emergency shutdown systems, fire and gas monitoring and control, high integrity pressure protection systems, burner management systems, and turbo machinery control. The emergency shutdown systems segment held the largest safety instrumented system market share in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030. The Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems are highly reliable control systems for high-risk industries such as oil & gas and nuclear power with explosion risk. The system helps in protecting personnel, plant, and the environment in case the process goes beyond the control margins.

Regional Analysis:

Asia Pacific held the largest safety instrumented system market share in 2022. The region is witnessing tremendous growth in the chemicals & pharmaceuticals industry. The market players in this region are continuously working on expanding their manufacturing facilities. For instance, in December 2022, Balaxi Pharmaceuticals announced that they had initiated the construction of a new drug manufacturing facility in Telangana, India. The company invested approximately US$ 10.29 million (INR 85 crore) in this project. The new production facility will help the company enter the European markets and enhance margins in current markets. Similarly, in September 2021, Hanwha Corp. announced its plan to build a nitric acid production plant by 2024. This plant will provide an annual capacity of 400,000 metric ton in Yeosu Industrial Complex, South Korea. For this, the company will be investing US$ 162 million (190 billion won).

Thus, the increasing number of new production facilities in the region will raise the demand for safety instrumented systems, as it helps prevent any accidents at the plant, propelling the safety instrumented system market growth.
