Market driver: high demand for process automation in emerging markets

High demand for input/output safety modules, particularly from the Middle East and the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries, will act as a major driver for the intrinsic safety modules market. Developed regions such as Europe and North America already possess a large market for these modules, whereas countries such as China, India, Vietnam, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia and those in Latin America and the Middle East, which are emerging markets, are generating high demand for intrinsic safety modules.

According to Sushmit Chakraborty, a lead analyst at Technavio for automation research, “There is also an increasing demand for network adapters and intelligent I/O modules that also partially supports the growth of the market. I/O modules are not new in the market, and the increasing demand for these modules is attributed to the accelerated rate of process automation in industries with harsh and volatile environments. Therefore, vendors are providing a wide portfolio of I/O modules. The major vendors in the market try to leverage their installed base, whereas some third-party suppliers concentrate on providing specialized and compatible I/O modules depending on the end-users' control systems.”

Market trend: emergence of intrinsically safe wireless pressure sensors

Wireless pressure sensors feature a rugged metal enclosure with corrosion-resistant construction. Owing to the sealed enclosure, they are highly suitable for outdoor applications in harsh environments. The pressure ports and the pressure diaphragm are also made of corrosion-resistant materials to make them resilient in the harshest of process media. They also have a direct or remote-mount antenna that ensures flexibility in different applications. These pressure sensors are highly useful in remote pressure monitoring applications where maintenance related to wiring is not feasible. This high degree of flexibility in packaging results in increased efficiency and ease of working in remote environments as well as cost-effective process sensing.

Market challenge: applicable only for low power circuits

The major disadvantage of intrinsic safety modules in offering protection is that they can only be used for low-power circuits. Therefore, they cannot be used with intrinsically safe motors. Intrinsic safety modules are used mostly in devices such as pressure transmitters, small capacity solenoid valves, control valve positioners, and similar devices. The measuring devices named above must be designed as intrinsically safe. Vendors need to do a step-by-step procedure to understand the criticality of the systems and how the process works.
