Safety's a hot button

Machine safeguarding solutions is one of the highest growth segments in the industrial automation sector as safety has moved to the forefront, says a recent study by ARC Advisory Group.

The worldwide market for machine safeguarding solutions is expected to post a compound annual growth rate of 8.4% over the next five years. The market was over $1 billion in 2004 and is expected to be over $1.5 billion in 2009.

According to ARC director of research Sal Spada, manufacturers are leveraging an intelligent safety strategy as a competitive advantage rather than seeing it as a cost burden. “This shift on the demand side is a key contributor to the acceleration of the revenue growth of the overall market,” says Spada.
