Emergency Shutdown System Market Growth Drivers and Forecast by 2031

The emergency shutdown system market size is projected to reach US$ 5.49 billion by 2031 from US$ 1.53 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 14.2 % in 2023–2031. The increasing demand for safety and security measures is likely to remain a key emergency shutdown system market trend.

Emergency Shutdown System Market Analysis

The emergency shutdown system is heavily influenced by the strong presence of large enterprises across various end-user industry verticals owing to their significantly large industrial process equipped with various technological solutions.

Emergency Shutdown System Market Overview

A system known as an emergency shutdown system, or ESD, is employed in dangerous environments to avert scenarios that could have disastrous consequences for the economy, the environment, or operations. By preventing things like leaks, hydrocarbon escape, fire outbreaks, and explosions, they are made to reduce the effects of emergency circumstances, such as harm to people or destruction of equipment. Boilers, gas and steam turbine power plants, oil and gas processing facilities, and oilfields (oil well heads) all include emergency shutdown mechanisms.

Emergency Shutdown System Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increase in Demand to Minimize Hydrocarbon Leakages, Particularly in Offshore Oilfield-based Projects

The purpose of an emergency shutdown system (ESD) is to reduce the effects of situations that are generally linked to uncontrolled floods, the escape of hydrocarbons, or fire breakouts in hazardous industries or locations where hydrocarbons are present. Historically, risk analysis has shown that the emergency shutdown program needs a high safety integrity grade (SIL 2 or 3). Device logic for incoming signal processing, field-mounted sensors, valves, trip relays, warnings, and HMI modules make up the majority of the system. The cause and effect diagrams created for the installation are followed by the device when processing input signals and triggering outputs. Growing upstream operations and rising oil and gas prices are expected to drive up demand for emergency shutdown systems (ESDs), particularly from offshore facilities. Midstream, upstream, and downstream oil refinery activities are the primary sources of demand for ESDs. The offshore oil and gas business in the US and Europe is subject to safety and environmental restrictions that are enforced by laws and regulations such as the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). Close monitoring is done of temperature and pressure to reduce the possibility of mishaps or accidents.

Increased Renewable Energy Sector

The renewable energy sector is growing significantly worldwide. According to the United Nations Report, renewable energy sources are available in every country, and their potential is yet to be fully harnessed. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) approximates that 90 % of the world’s electricity can and should come from renewable energy by 2050. Renewable energy sources provide a means of escaping reliance on imports, diversifying national economies, shielding them from the volatile price fluctuations of fossil fuels, and promoting inclusive economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. The emergency shutdown systems are used in this sector to provide safe operations. If hazardous conditions occur, instant action should be taken. An emergency shutdown system is used to shut down the facility to a safe state and protect the environment and the assets.

Emergency Shutdown System Market Share Analysis by Geography

The geographic scope of the emergency shutdown system market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America/South & Central America. In terms of revenue, APAC accounted for the largest emergency shutdown system market share. The APAC region, owing to the strong presence of unorganized small and medium end-users along with limited government regulation, has attributed the region’s low market share despite the strong presence of an end-user base in the region.

Emergency Shutdown System Market News and Recent Developments

The emergency shutdown system market is evaluated by gathering qualitative and quantitative data post primary and secondary research, which includes important corporate publications, association data, and databases. The following is a list of developments in the market for speech and language disorders and strategies:

• In March 2023, the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) issued a new Safety Alert titled “Hazards Posed by Discharges from Emergency Pressure-Relief Systems.” The CSB’s alert highlights hazards identified with emergency pressure-relief systems from four CSB investigations.  The alert advises facilities that while a discharge from emergency pressure-relief systems can help protect equipment from unexpected and undesired high-pressure events, it can also seriously harm or fatally injured workers and cause extensive damage to a facility if the discharge is not made to a safe location.
