The global functional safety market size is expected to be worth USD 5.52 Billion in 2023. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.30% during the forecast period and reach a value of USD 8.22 Billion by 2028.
Functional safety is considered part of general safety, which depends on the normal and correct operation of the entity or system in response to the inputs that are provided to it. We are surrounded by systems in various places, such as factories, public places, offices, and household appliances, that can pose a threat to our safety if they malfunction under certain conditions. Functional safety applies to all industries today, and its demand is increasing as manufacturers and end-users seek to mitigate risk further. With the increasing use of automated equipment for manufacturing, testing, and process control, the need to prevent property damage, injury, and environmental damage is more critical than ever. The increasing demands and expectations of governments and workers have led manufacturers and suppliers to use predictable means to produce and design equipment that meets certain safety requirements.
The global GDP growth rate is projected to decline by 0.5% in 2020, putting the growth outlook on a negative trend in an already weak global economy. Many countries are already implementing recovery plans to cope with the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. The United States passed a bill called the Coronavirus Economic Relief, Relief and Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, under which $ 2 trillion will be spent on five components, namely individuals/families, large corporations, small businesses, states, and local communities governments and public services. The interest in functional safety items and arrangements is straightforwardly reliant on assembling exercises. In this manner, activities taken by different governments will help animate the development of organizations engaged with the improvement of functional safety items and arrangements.
Functional safety systems should be installed as a safety measure to protect workers, machines, and production lines in the event of an emergency. The price of functional safety components, installation costs, and maintenance and repair costs add significantly to the organization's budget. While large organizations can manage these expenses, it can be difficult for small and medium-sized businesses. Additionally, functional safety must meet regulatory standards. Security standards are frequently updated based on technological advancements and new mandates, forcing organizations to update their security systems. This upgrade requires additional investments in security systems and components. Therefore, this factor acts as a restriction, especially for small and medium-sized industries.
Impact of COVID-19 on the functional safety market:
The COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown restrictions around the world have affected industrial activities around the world. Some of the effects of foreclosure include supply chain disruptions, unavailability of raw materials used in the manufacturing process, labour shortages, price fluctuations that could inflate and exceed budget, production of the final product, shipping problems, etc. From a demand perspective, industries such as oil and gas are facing the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. For this reason, producers quickly reduced capital expenditures and drilling programs. The pandemic has impacted the progress of several projects, causing the blockage or delay of the pipelines. The manufacturing industry has contracted significantly due to the pandemic, as the industry faces unprecedented challenges in the supply chain and sourcing of raw materials, resulting in significant losses for manufacturers. Few industries, such as agribusiness and pharmaceuticals, have been deemed essential by governments.
