Structural Health Monitoring Market

Industry Overview

Structural Health Monitoring is the usage of non-destructive sensing and investigation of structural features, to identify a damage that has occurred at a specific location and evaluate its severity and consequences. The Global Structural Health Monitoring Market is growing at significant rate, due to disastrous breakdown of the infrastructure outcomes in loss of lives and strict government regulations. Different technologies contributed to the structural health monitoring market size. The market has witnessed high demand for wireless structural health monitoring in the coming years due to reduced cost of structural health monitoring and mounting demand of wireless technology.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Technology

On the basis of technology the structural health monitoring market is subdivided into wired structural health monitoring and wireless structural health monitoring. Among all technologies, wireless structural health monitoring segment is expected to grow at fastest rate in the market, due to mounting demand of wireless technology, as the usage of wires is eradicated, thus eliminating the requirement for installation and protection of cables which reduces the cost of structural health monitoring.

Insight by Offering

On the basis of offering the structural health monitoring market is subdivided into hardware and software & services. Among all offerings, the hardware segment accounted the largest share is in the market, as the hardware is the integral element, which measure physical properties of any construction under surveillance.

The hardware segment is further subdivided into sensors, data acquisition systems (DAS) and communication systems and others. The sensors segment accounted the largest share in the market. In addition, the software & services segment is further subdivided into software and services. In addition, the software and service segment is expected to grow at fastest rate in the market.

Insight by Vertical

On the basis of vertical the market is subdivided into civil infrastructure, energy, aerospace & defence, mining and others. Among the all verticals, the civil infrastructure accounted the largest share in the structural health monitoring market due to government investing in building infrastructural facilities, mounting infrastructure facilities and mounting government initiatives to monitor health of structure.

The growth of the civil infrastructure would increase the demand of structure health monitoring as to sustain and observe the health of every civil infrastructure and to prevent disastrous failure of these structures. The civil infrastructure segment is further subdivided into tunnels, dams, stadium, bridges, buildings and others. The bridges and dams account the largest share in the market.
