Increase in Industrial Safety Measures Boosts Hazardous Area Automation Equipment Market

This report focuses on hazardous area automation equipment and services of protection types - prevention (intrinsic safety, increase safety) and containment.  The report includes “Equipment Group II” hazardous area automation products and focuses on industrial certified products that are used in hazardous areas.  Services include certifications for the applications, initial inspection, and programmed maintenance, such as periodic inspections and repairs.  This report covers gas and dust explosion protection types and Ex i, Ex e, Ex d, and Ex t certification types.

For most process plants, it’s not possible for all automation system components to be installed in non-hazardous areas.  As a result, some form of protection and safety measures are required to prevent explosions that could occur when a hazardous gas and energy source combine.

The growing focus on increasing industrial safety measures and standards, especially in process industries, is creating a significant demand for intrinsic safe, flame, and explosion-proof hazardous area equipment.  Also, growth in the oil & gas industry will further boost the growth.  

According to ARC Advisory Group, the market for hazardous area automation equipment experienced good growth in 2018 compared with the year 2017, and is expected to grow, but at below 2018 growth levels during the forecast period.

Hazardous Area Automation Equipment Strategic Issues

A major challenge for users is to have on-site maintenance or a complete but non-intrusive view of operations, especially in hazardous areas without isolating the power source of equipment for reliable and safe operations.  So how can suppliers address such challenges and increase their value proposition? 

• What are the growing certification types?
• How will Industrial IoT or Industrie 4.0 impact the market? 
• Who are the major suppliers?
• What are the strategies to be considered for both suppliers and users?
