Safety light curtain market for type 4 safety level to hold larger share during the forecast period

The safety light curtain market for type 4 curtains is expected to hold a larger share during the forecast period. These safety light curtains are based on redundant automatic cross-checking architecture, which allows immediate failure detection with the low response time. The prevalence of Industrial Revolution 4.0 and rapid industrialization in developing countries such as China, India, and Mexico, contribute to the large share of this segment.

Control units segment of safety light curtains to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The safety light curtain market for control units is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. A control unit controls all activities of a safety light curtain and ensures the proper operation of equipment. It is one of the major components of a safety light curtain and is used to determine the sequence and modulation of LEDs to match them with those of photoelectric cells. It can also detect deviations caused in the system in the event of an object entering the curtain of light beams.

Healthcare industry to witness the highest CAGR in the safety light curtain market during the forecast period

The safety light curtain market for the healthcare industry is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Growth in the healthcare industry in APAC is supporting the growth of the safety light curtain market. The comparatively cheap labour available in APAC, compared to Europe or North America, is one of the major drivers for pharmaceutical companies investing in this region to set up production plants. These factors are contributing to the growth of the safety light curtain market for the healthcare industry.

APAC to account for the largest size of the safety light curtain market during the forecast period

APAC is expected to hold the largest size of the safety light curtain market during the forecast period. The region has been a major contributor to the growth of the overall safety light curtain market as this region is emerging as an important hub for automotive manufacturing. Automotive is one of the prominent industries in APAC, owing to the presence of global automotive giants and the increasing demand for automobiles by an ever-growing population with high disposable income in this region.
