Machine Safety Market Report 2025

This Machine Safety market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The machine safety market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.76 billion in 2024 to $6.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness of occupational hazards and accidents, growth in industrial automation and manufacturing activities, need for preventing accidents and ensuring worker safety, focus on employee welfare and health in workplaces, stringent enforcement of safety regulations in industries.

The machine safety market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of machine safety systems with industrial iot (iiot) platforms, demand for machine learning and ai-powered safety solutions, expansion of robotics and collaborative robot (cobot) applications, focus on human-machine collaboration and safe interaction, research and development in next-generation safety devices and systems. Major trends in the forecast period include machine learning for predictive safety analysis, emergency stop devices and alarms, safety plcs and programmable safety systems, real-time monitoring and reporting of safety incidents, safety interlock switches and lockout/tagout systems.

The implementation of strict machine safety mandates is anticipated to drive the growth of the machine safety market during the forecast period. In response to rising workplace accidents and inadequate public safety management, numerous government and international organizations are enforcing stringent machine safety mandates for workplace machinery. These regulations are designed to facilitate safer machinery use and enhance safety management. For example, in July 2024, a report from The ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle International, a Germany-based news outlet, highlighted that the New Vehicle General Safety Regulation (GSR2), also known as Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, sets updated minimum performance standards for motor vehicles in the EU. This regulation requires the integration of various advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning (DDAW), and Emergency Lane-Keeping Systems (ELKS). Consequently, the strict machine safety mandates are driving the machine safety market.

The rising demand in the oil and gas industry is expected to further propel the growth of the machine safety market. The global oil and gas industry, covering exploration, extraction, refining, distribution, and marketing of petroleum products, necessitates machine safety measures for worker protection, asset preservation, and environmental conservation. Implementing machine safety practices in this sector enhances operational efficiency and ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Notably, in October 2023, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported an increase in U.S. crude oil output to 12.4 million b/d in 2023, up from the record-high of 11.7 million b/d in 2022. Additionally, in September 2022, the U.S. consumed an average of 86.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day (Bcf/d) in 2022, marking the highest annual consumption compared to the previous year. The growing demand in the oil and gas industry is thus expected to drive the machine safety market.

Major companies in the machine safety market are focused on launching machine safety websites to improve access to safety resources, offer comprehensive training materials, streamline compliance documentation, and enable real-time communication between manufacturers. Machine safety websites are online platforms created to deliver resources, information, and tools related to machine safety practices and compliance. These websites provide customized machine guarding solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each client and their machinery, rather than offering generic alternatives. For example, in March 2022, the Machine & Process Safety Assessment Group, a US-based company, introduced mpsasafety.com, a machine safety website. MPSA offers precise machine stop-time analysis, which is essential for the effective installation of safety systems such as light curtains. Additionally, MPSA has a dedicated engineering team that can develop new safety solutions or re-engineer existing systems, which is particularly advantageous when original schematics are not available.

Major companies in the machine safety market are concentrating on the development of electronic circuit protection devices to enhance operational safety, prevent equipment damage, and reduce downtime by effectively safeguarding machinery against electrical faults and overloads. Electronic Circuit Protection Devices are specialized components designed to protect electrical circuits from various fault conditions, including overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuits, and thermal overloads. This innovation not only improves safety but also promotes energy efficiency in accordance with standards such as ISO 50001. For example, in March 2024, Siemens AG, a Germany-based company, introduced the SENTRON ECPD, an electronic circuit protection device. The SENTRON ECPD can disconnect circuit faults up to 1,000 times faster than traditional devices, significantly lowering the risk of damage during electrical faults. Additionally, the device occupies up to 80% less space in distribution boards compared to conventional solutions, making it more suitable for modern electrical planning.

In June 2022, Clarion Safety Systems acquired Machine Safety Specialists for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aims to expand risk compliance and assessment offerings, providing clients with additional consulting and machine safety training services. Machine Safety Specialists, specializing in OSHA machine guarding, risk assessment, and safety training, complements Clarion's portfolio in the safety systems industry.

Machine safety involves the use of sensors, devices, or switches to control workplace accidents and enhance production efficiency. Its primary goal is to safeguard workers from the hazards associated with machinery and its potential detrimental effects. Machine safety controllers play a crucial role in monitoring both safety and non-safety input devices, enabling safe stop and start functions for machines with motion.

The main types of machine safety implementations include individual and embedded components. Individual machine safety components are utilized for specific machine elements, encompassing structural components, mechanics, and control components. These individual components, also known as hardware, consist of presence sensing safety sensors, safety interlock switches, safety controllers/modules/relays, programmable safety systems, emergency stop controls, and two-hand safety controls. Various systems, such as those in assembly, material handling, metalworking, packing, robotics, and others, require the incorporation of machine safety measures. Industries such as chemicals, food and beverages, aircraft and military, automotive, semiconductor and electronics, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, metals and mining, and more, make use of machine safety for their operations.
