Dedicated to helping businesses and individuals prioritize safety, health, and compliance in the workplace. From small startups to large corporations, safety is essential, and we're here to make it easier.
The global machine safety market was valued at $5.81 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $10.46 Billion by 2035, according to SNS Insider.
The U.S. machine safety market was valued at approximately $1.77 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach approximately $3.19 billion by 2035.
This segment comprises different types of products such as safety sensors, controllers, interlock switches, safety light curtains, and emergency stops, among others.
The market’s increased global growth rate can be attributed to increased focus on safety regulations at workplaces, innovations in technology, and increasing usage of automation systems in many industries.
The rapid adoption of industrial automation, collaborative robotics, and advanced safety technologies in manufacturing and process industries is significantly driving the demand for machine safety systems.
Non-discretionary machine safety investment is being driven by increased regulatory compliance mandates, including from OSHA, IEC 62061 and ISO 13849.
Through 2035, rising use of IIoT-enabled predictive safety systems, lidar-based safety scanners, smart safety controllers, digital twins, and AI-integrated safety systems will continue to provide premium growth opportunities to participants in the machine safety market.
North America dominated the global machine safety market in 2025, driven by advanced manufacturing infrastructure, stringent OSHA workplace safety enforcement, and the strong adoption of automation across several key industries.
The United States accounts for approximately 87.4% of North American revenues through Rockwell Automation, Honeywell, Emerson Electric, and the U.S. operations of Siemens, ABB, and SICK AG, whose combined commercial presence defines the domestic machine safety technology standard.
OSHA's workplace safety enforcement creates compliance-driven machine safety procurement motivation across manufacturing, construction, and process industry sectors.
The U.S. automotive industry's above-average robotics adoption, the pharmaceutical sector's GMP safety standard requirements, and the food processing industry's machine guarding mandate create structured institutional demand.
U.S. manufacturing reshoring investment is simultaneously creating new facility construction whose machine safety system specification creates above-average procurement growth.
Canada contributes approximately 12.6% of North American revenues through its automotive manufacturing sector’s safety investment, the natural resources industry’s hazardous equipment safety procurement, and the pharmaceutical sector’s growing machine safety compliance investment.
In June 2025, KEYENCE Corporation introduced the GL-V series, a new small and robust safety light curtain specifically designed for industrial applications requiring compact installation in space-constrained machine guarding configurations. The GL-V series addresses the growing demand for miniaturized safety light curtain solutions in cobot and compact automated assembly cell applications where conventional safety light curtain dimensions create installation constraints that limit their deployment in modern high-density automation environments.
Siemens also expanded its machine safety portfolio in 2025 by integrating advanced AI-based safety controllers and Industrial IoT connectivity, enabling real-time hazard detection and predictive safety monitoring.
In 2024, Rockwell Automation expanded its GuardShield Safety Light Curtain portfolio with new models featuring enhanced diagnostics, IP69K washdown protection, and EtherNet/IP connectivity for integration with Allen-Bradley safety PLC systems. The portfolio expansion demonstrates the commercial direction of machine safety product development toward connected, self-diagnosing safety devices whose network integration enables predictive maintenance and remote safety status monitoring that reduces the manual inspection burden that conventional safety device maintenance programs require.
The key players in the industry, which includes manufacturing, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and food and beverages segments, have shown increasing inclination towards the use of machine safety systems that comply with international safety standards laid down by the IEC as well as other safety and health administration organizations worldwide.
