Growing demand for safety systems in the oil and gas industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the functional safety market in the future. The frequency of accidents in the oil and gas sector is rising due to factors such as explosions and fires, slips and falls, operation of heavy machinery, temperature extremes, and exposure to hazardous chemicals. Leading companies in the oil and gas industry are implementing safety systems. For example, in June 2024, Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., a Japan-based motorcycle manufacturer, introduced the RCX3-SMU robot controller. This new controller features advanced safety functions, including speed and area monitoring capabilities, certified by a third party to ensure compliance with functional safety standards. These innovations demonstrate Yamaha's dedication to improving operational safety in robotics, especially in industrial environments.
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.
