The safety IO modules market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.85% by 2024

The importance of safety IO devices rose from the terrible need for efficient and reliable infrastructure in hazardous environments. The IO devices are being used in the industry for optimizing the automation process. These modules also decrease the installation time and expense, as they are an integral part of the input/output control system, and hence, reduces the need for third-party relays and mapping equipment.

    --  The safety IO modules provide all the basic advantages that the
        traditional distributed IO safety systems provide. With the help of
        these new modules, one can control and monitor their safety devices.
    --  Moreover, one can also detect a failure at IO and field device levels,
        along with enhancing the operator protection. The growing technological
        advancements have improved the safety parameters associated with these
        IO modules, making their use in the hazardous zones even more feasible.
        This technological growth is bound to bring more improvements in the
        quality of safety in IO modules in the future.
    --  The increasing demand for safety IO modules is a direct consequence of
        the increase in the number of hazardous areas. Rising frequency of
        accidents in these hazardous areas has led to the establishment of
        industrial regulatory standards, which drove the demand for safety
        infrastructure in the market, thereby, steering the market growth.
    --  On the contrary, lack of awareness about the robust and reliable IO
        modules has been a challenge hindering the market growth in the recent
        past.

Scope of the Report

The IO module is a mediator between the controller and an external device. It monitors information exchange between peripheral devices. IO module is also a device connecting a programmable logic controller to other devices, particularly field devices. Instead of an IO module, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) may have integrated input and output ports. These ports are typically connected to sensors and actuators.

Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand of Safety IO Modules in Automotive Industry to Drive the Market Growth

    --  The automotive industry is experiencing a paradigm shift with increasing
        integration of technology. The autonomous car technology is rapidly
        advancing with companies investing heavily in this technology. The
        demand for electric cars is also growing, with companies introducing
        affordable electric vehicles.
    --  This is expected to result in higher demand for automobiles, pushing
        companies to up their manufacturing capabilities, and establish plants.
    --  As safety IO models offer increased reliability and safety without
        compromising on the operational efficiency, the industry is moving
        towards safety IO systems. Thus, the automotive industry is expected to
        be the fastest growing market for safety IO modules, during the forecast
        period.

        period.
    --  With the growing demand for automobiles across the world, companies are
        pushing towards automated systems to increase the productivity of the
        existing plants.
    --  Many automotive manufacturers are either establishing new manufacturing
        infrastructure across the world or moving the processes in automotive
        manufacturing, from manual labor to robotic machinery. Thus, with the
        increase in the number of industrial robots and automation, there is a
        need for interfacing these systems with centralized controllers. The
        automotive industry is thus deploying IO modules, for monitoring, data
        collecting, and controlling these systems.

North America to Have the Largest Market Share

    --  The key factors contributing to the growth of the North America safety
        IO modules market are demand for intrinsically safe IO modules,
        compulsory industrial or government safety standards, miniaturization of
        devices, demand for reduced wiring cost and reduced start-up machine
        time.
    --  The United States is one of the top five countries that import the
        highest number of high-voltage protection equipment as well as
        low-voltage equipment, accounting for an import value of nearly USD 718
        million (for high-voltage protection equipment) and a USD 9.26 billion
        (for low-voltage protection equipment).
    --  Besides, the United States has the largest and most technologically
        developed economy in the world, with a positive per capita GDP. Business
        firms in the United States enjoy a greater degree of flexibility
        compared to businesses in Japan and Western Europe in terms of
        innovation and expansion. Therefore, equipped with a high-tech
        industrial economy, the need for automation and safety in the industrial
        environment drive the market growth in the region.

Competitive Landscape

The safety IO modules market is consolidated due to a few major players are having a huge share of the market. Some of the key players include ABB Ltd., Siemens AG, Rockwell Automation Inc., Schneider Electric, Honeywell International Inc., Advantech Co.Ltd.l, Parmley Graham Ltd., Weidmuller Interface GmbH & Co. KG, among others.

    --  January 2019 - Rockwell Automation, Inc. acquired Emulate3D, an
        innovative engineering software developer whose products digitally
        simulate and emulate industrial automation systems. By using accurate
        simulation models to improve systems planning and decision-making,
        followed by emulation trials that test the control system before
        installation, Emulate3D's software enables customers to virtually test
        machine and system designs before incurring manufacturing and automation
        costs and committing to a final design.
