North America is estimated to contribute 36% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The market in North America is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. A few important factors contributing to the market growth in North America are the increased adoption of structural health monitoring services by end-user industries, the shift of conventional management services to advanced and third-party structural health monitoring services, growth of end-user industries, increased government initiatives for the implementation of structural health monitoring, and the growing number of IT companies and IT startups.
The market plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and sustainability of critical infrastructure across various sectors like the infrastructure sector. As standards like SHM system standardization are implemented, the focus on public safety increases, addressing concerns about the longevity of structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, and stadiums. Utilizing advanced sensors and analyzing tools, SHM systems enable civil engineers to monitor the health of large machines, airframes, and turbines in real-time, mitigating risks associated with natural calamities and ensuring predictive maintenance. Particularly in developing countries and smart cities, these systems are pivotal in preventing loss of lives and averting economic and social complications by promoting cost-effective constructions and efficient maintenance strategies.
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The market is propelled by the escalating demand for infrastructure maintenance and safety. This need is underscored by the imperative to prevent catastrophic incidents such as bridge collapses or building failures. SHM systems, crucial in the infrastructure sector, offer real-time insights into structure conditions, aiding in the identification and resolution of potential issues before they escalate into hazardous situations. Moreover, SHM facilitates early detection of structural anomalies, allowing for prompt maintenance and averting calamities. Organizations investing in SHM solutions are driven by the prospect of substantial cost savings from avoiding emergency repairs and premature replacements. With smart cities and developing countries increasingly adopting SHM technologies, the global market is witnessing robust growth, spurred by the imperative of ensuring structural integrity and public safety.
The advent of IoT in structural health monitoring is a primary trend in structural health monitoring. Various technological innovations in the market have increased demand for smart facilities management solutions. These devices are interconnected over the Internet and are used to collect and evaluate data that can be used to reduce the amount of energy required to perform the tasks.
In addition, IoT uses advanced technologies, including predictive maintenance, that result in reduced operating costs and increased productivity. Furthermore, it is possible to ensure that devices or machines are maintained where necessary through the Internet of Things technologies. Increasingly, there are more and more outsourcing providers choosing to provide Internet of Things solutions. These factors will increase productivity while ensuring the energy efficiency of buildings. The building can monitor motion, light, temperature, humidity, and infrared. Each luminaire is directly connected to the building's IT network by using power-other-ethernet (PoE) cables and becomes a point of intelligence that provides data on building occupancy and activity patterns in the building along with environmental data. Hence, the advent of IoT in structural health monitoring is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.
The rise in budgetary constraints is a major challenge in a market. Small organizations, especially in growing economies, face huge budget shortages and often rely on funds provided by investors and venture capitalists (VCs). Those budgetary constraints, which result in low-quality services being awarded, prevent them from entering into contracts with established and reliable companies for the monitoring of Structural Health. This will also have an effect on the total structural health monitoring capabilities of the organization. These low-quality facilities management services often result in high maintenance and operation costs, thereby affecting the profitability of the company.
Moreover, the steady rise in costs associated with training and retaining skilled personnel within the organization further impedes the growth of the market. There is excessive energy consumption in buildings due to the aging of assets used by organizations. The operating costs of the company increase further when these assets are replaced and maintained. For this reason, efficient Structural Health Monitoring is no longer appropriate as it incurs a high cost of maintenance. Thus, the rise in budgetary constraints, especially in small organizations, will hamper the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
