Tunnel Automation Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing focus on tunnel safety is notably driving the tunnel automation market growth, although factors such as high costs associated with the deployment and maintenance of tunnel automation solutions may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the tunnel automation industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Tunnel Automation Market Driver
The increasing focus on tunnel safety is one of the key drivers supporting tunnel automation market growth. Tunnels are an indispensable part of road and rail infrastructure. Poorly managed tunnels can often lead to severe traffic congestion. Therefore, tunnel infrastructure requires extensive automation to ensure maximum safety and availability of tunnel systems for vehicles and travelers. Globally, many countries, particularly developed countries, implement regulations on minimum safety requirements and procedures in tunnel operations. There are some directives that mandate the use of various automation systems, including normal and emergency lighting, control systems, and others. Upgrading the existing tunnel infrastructure to meet regulatory requirements and the implementation of regulations in developing countries will drive the demand for tunnel automation solutions during the forecast period.
Key Tunnel Automation Market Trend
Integration of IoT and cloud with tunnel automation solutions is another factor contributing to tunnel automation market growth. Convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, and cloud computing fuels innovations in intelligent automation technologies and enables end-users with a competitive advantage over automation systems. IoT enables data sharing and transfer between standalone control systems and other devices such as thermostats, sensors, and lighting fixtures. However, the data received from these connected devices and control systems must be interpreted to analyze the tunneling efficiency. It also provides insights that help reduce energy expenses and minimize congestion, thereby enhancing transportation efficiency. Thus, emerging technologies may boost market growth during the forecast period.
Key Tunnel Automation Market Challenge
High costs associated with the deployment and maintenance of tunnel automation solutions is hampering the tunnel automation market growth. Costs associated with the deployment of tunnel automation solutions and the capital required for the subsequent operations and maintenance can account for a considerably large share of the overall tunnel project cost. In addition to the deployment costs, tunnel automation has significant lifecycle costs associated with it, including software subscription and support costs, manning and laboring charges, periodic inspection of entire systems, and hardware modernization and upgrade costs, which contribute significantly to the overhead costs over the installation costs. Such high costs will pose a serious challenge to the tunnel automation market during the forecast period.
