Functional Safety Global Market Report 2024

Functional safety is a component of a system's or equipment's overall safety, and it focuses on electronics and their accompanying software, which must respond to their inputs correctly and should also have predictable failure answers. It is used to automatically prevent and control dangerous failures when they occur. Functional safety provides manufacturers the ability to operate closer to their margins with confidence in a well-defined functional safety environment.

The main types of offerings in functional safety are component and services. Service may assist in minimizing risk and optimizing systems in a variety of ways, including product design, safety chain management, performance and safety assessments, and more. The different systems include emergency shutdown systems (ESD), fire and gas monitoring systems, high integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS), burner management systems (BMS), and turbomachinery control (TMC), and are used in several industries such as oil and gas, power generation, chemicals, food and beverages, water and wastewater, pharmaceuticals, metal and mining, and others.

This functional safety market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The functional safety market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.28 billion in 2023 to $5.6 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial automation growth, regulatory compliance requirements, increased complexity of systems, standardization initiatives, growing demand for automotive safety.

The functional safety market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.32 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of functional safety in healthcare, advanced process control in industries, sustainable development goals (sdgs) impact, continuous improvement in safety culture. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption across industries, compliance with international standards, integration of functional safety in iot devices, focus on automotive functional safety, cybersecurity and functional safety integration, digital twins for functional safety analysis.

Rising demand for safety systems in the oil and gas industry is expected to propel the growth of the functional safety market going forward. The number of accidents in the oil and gas industry is increasing due to explosions and fires, slips and falls, operating heavy machinery, temperature extremes, and exposure to toxic chemicals. Major players in the oil and gas industry are adopting safety systems. For instance, according to the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) report, accidents in the oil and gas industry reveal that the number of accidents has decreased from 25% in 2019 to 14% in 2020. This is mainly due to increased awareness of safety standards and the use of functional safety equipment at the sites. Thus, the increasing demand for safety systems in the oil and gas industry is contributing to the functional safety market growth.

The increased demand for hydropower is expected to drive the growth of functional safety market. Hydropower, also known as hydroelectric power, is a renewable energy source that harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to generate electricity. Hydrocarbon energy source uses functional safety for enhanced process safety, better alarm management, enhanced safety compliance, and safety lifecycle management. For instance, in October 2022, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled three funding opportunities, totalling over USD 28 million, aimed at advancing research and development efforts to bolster hydropower as a vital clean energy source. This funding will be utilized to expand low-impact hydropower, develop new pumped storage hydropower facilities, and engage with key stakeholders on issues related to hydropower fleet modernization, sustainability, and environmental impact. Therefore, the increased demand for hydropower is expected to propel the growth of functional safety market going forward

New solutions have emerged as a key trend gaining popularity in the functional safety market. Major companies operating in the functional safety sector are adopting new solutions to sustain their position. For instance, in March 2022, Renesas Electronics Corporation, a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer, introduced new functional safety solutions that adhere to the IEC61508 standard. Using general-purpose 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs) along with a variety of software solution components, Renesas provides a one-stop shop for functional safety solutions. Its dual-MCU design allows for easy safety verification and incredibly effective diagnostic software on any Renesas MCU based on the RXv2 core.

Major companies operating in the functional safety market are developing innovative products to meet the growing demand for functional safety and simplify the functional safety compliance. For instance, in December 2022, Jama Software, a Netherlands-based requirements management and product development platform, introduced a tool called Jama Connect for Robotics to assist companies in innovating and creating robotics applications. A robotics dataset, a functional safety procedural guide based on IEC 61508, frameworks, sample projects, and procedural, export, and configuration documentation are all included in the fully functioning package that comes with the solution. The goal of Jama Connect for Robotics is to simplify functional safety compliance and spur innovation.

In January 2021, ERM, a UK-based company that provides safety services, acquired Engineering Safety Consultants (ESC) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ECS aims to enhance its capabilities and capacity in terms of technology and process safety services. Engineering Safety Consultants is a UK-based company that provides functional safety services, helping clients with risk, reliability, and SIL studies.
