New analysis from Frost & Sullivan finds that the market earned revenues of over $1.27 billion in 2011 and estimates this to reach $1.75 billion in 2016.
Analysts say safety systems monitor health of plant equipment to reduce its exposure to damage and lengthen its life-cycle. In addition, they decrease the probability of work-related injuries, allowing machine operators to work more efficiently. This drives end users to employ machine safety solutions. Moreover, regulations require employers to create a safe working environment for employees. Manufacturers, especially in developed countries where law enforcement is high, are aware that it is more cost-efficient to use machine safety devices than bear the penalty for non-compliance. Improvements in safety solutions also offer business opportunities for machine safety vendors among conservative end users.
